We Will Personally Handle Your Case

Steven R. Smith began his career working for a respected insurance defense firm, giving him insight into how insurers evaluate truck accident claims. This background allows us to anticipate challenges and build a strong case from the outset.

We begin by listening carefully to you about the accident and your injuries. Then we gather all the necessary evidence to build your case. This includes police reports, medical records, witness statements, and information about the truck, its driver, and the company that employs them. Using these findings, our Queens truck accident attorney will pinpoint all responsible parties and create a clear picture of the circumstances that caused your accident.

We Will Deal With the Insurance Companies

Insurance companies often move quickly to limit payouts, and truck accident cases can be more complex due to multiple parties and policies. We handle all communication with insurers and defense attorneys on your behalf. Because Steven R. Smith has experience on the defense side, he understands how insurance companies assess claims and the tactics they use, allowing us to protect your interests and advocate for fair compensation.

While some firms may rush to file a lawsuit, we focus on creating a claim that can be resolved efficiently through negotiation when possible, without sacrificing your right to pursue a trial if necessary.

We're Prepared to Represent You in Court

While many personal injury and auto accident claims are resolved through settlement, some require court action. If the other side does not make a fair offer, we are prepared to take your case to trial.

Steven R. Smith has trial experience in personal injury and medical malpractice matters and is admitted to practice in New York and New Jersey, including federal courts in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York.
