Helping Survivors Recover Financially After Auto Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents are by far the most common type of personal injury claim. Though common, they are rarely simple. At the The Malowitz Law Firm, LLC, I am knowledgeable about the complex liability, insurance and medical issues involved in each automobile accident claim.

Strong Advocacy At Trial And Negotiations

I have helped recover damages for all types of motor vehicle accidents, including:

  • Car accidents
  • Motorcycle crashes
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Boating and Jet Ski accidents
  • Truck crashes
  • Rollovers
  • Off-road vehicle accidents (such as ATVs)

I am also experienced in cases with unique insurance issues such as collisions caused by drunk drivers, hit-and-run accidents and crashes involving motorists with little to no insurance.

Aggressive Representation And Partnership With Experts

I know that auto accident victims suffer a wide range of injuries, including catastrophic injury or death. Whatever the extent of injury, your physical recovery and peace of mind are important to me.

In addition to negotiating settlements with insurance companies and filing suit in court, I work closely with my clients in getting proper medical care, submitting medical bills to insurers, negotiating the claim for your totaled vehicle and settling your injury claim.

I will actively investigate your case to prove the negligent or reckless behavior that caused the accident. When necessary, I utilize private investigators to take photographs of the accident scene and interview witnesses, and I often hire various experts to prove your claim. I review police reports, research available insurance to cover your losses and thoroughly prepare your case for settlement or trial.
