I will help you right away, as I have helped thousands of victims choose the right attorney. My phone number is 718-256-56-10.
Caller: Michael, here's a fairly popular question. What should you do if an accident occurs and the other driver decides to leave the scene? What should you say to him so he doesn't leave? How should one act in such a situation? Should you ask for his driver's license, insurance details, or something else? Please answer.
Michael: First of all, if you have an accident, try to photograph the other car's license plate as quickly as possible. If the other driver sees you take a picture of his plate, he most likely won’t leave, knowing that leaving the scene is wrong. However, if he sees you haven't recorded or photographed anything, he might deceive you, say he’s going to his car for documents, but then drive off. This happens very frequently. Therefore, the main thing is to photograph his number as quickly as possible using your phone or however you can. Take two or three pictures just in case. The rest, my lawyers will find out themselves. You don’t need his driver’s license or insurance, just photograph the plate number. Even if it’s fake, don’t worry; your car's insurance will cover it. Let me give you an example. A man contacted me after being hit by a car at an intersection. The driver asked for his license and insurance, said, "I'll get mine," jumped into his car and drove away. He didn’t manage to photograph the license plate because he was confused. The first thing he should’ve done before talking was to photograph the number. Fortunately, my lawyer managed to obtain video footage from a camera at the intersection and caught the perpetrator, securing $40,000 for our client who suffered a spinal injury. If something similar happens, call me immediately at 718-256-56-10. I will remind you of what needs attention when you find yourself in a collision or accident. Dial 718-256-56-10 even before you step out of the car or someone approaches you; it ensures success because we'll remind you to photograph the number immediately. Thank you for the explanation. Now, let's hear from Valentina; she has a question.
Valentina: Michael, I was in an accident. I braked to let an ambulance pass, and the car behind me couldn’t stop in time and hit me from behind. Can I still contact a lawyer in this situation? Am I at fault for braking suddenly?
Michael: You did everything right. Emergency services like ambulances and police with flashing lights must be let through even if you have a green light. You were forced to stop, and the other car should've maintained a safe distance in case of such emergency stops. In urban areas, where speed limits are around 25 miles per hour, keeping a reasonable distance ensures that you can always stop in time, thus it is 100% the other driver's fault. My lawyer can easily prove this. If you have any pain, like in your back, head, or lower back, immediately contact my office. I will provide a lawyer who will facilitate your treatment and handle the case, proving your complete innocence and the complete fault of the other driver. The at-fault driver’s insurance might try to shift some blame onto you due to the sudden stop, but with a skilled lawyer that I provide, it's unlikely to succeed. Recently, someone who was letting an ambulance passed was hit by another car. The driver tried to argue that the man merged into his lane, but he had to due to the ambulance. The car behind was required to let him merge and not hit him. After contacting us, we immediately addressed his back and neck pain, connected him with our lawyer, who proved his innocence and secured $30,000 for him. So if something like this happens, call me at 718-256-56-10.

Michael: Thank you, Valentina. We still have time to hear from Stepan. Stepan, your question please.
Stepan: Michael, I fell on the sidewalk near a building. There wasn’t any other trash, but the garbage bag shouldn’t have been in the pedestrian's path. Isn’t this a violation? I’m sure my lawyer will take up the case, especially considering my severe injury like a broken arm.
Michael: Let's discuss an example. A gentleman once approached us after tripping over a garbage bag near a large apartment building. I asked him if he was still there, and he said yes, so I advised him not to move and called an ambulance. Since he stayed put, we could avoid a potentially dislocating operation. Prompt arrival by the ambulance is crucial, as it affects the settlement amount you receive. Thus, it is best to contact me immediately from the scene, arrange for an ambulance, or call us for this arrangement. Thanks to the gentleman contacting us and prompt ambulance assistance, there was no dislocation. After receiving appropriate medical care and rehabilitation, my lawyer proved that this bag shouldn’t have been there and received a substantial amount of $120,000 from the building’s insurance.
