CAPABLE ASSISTANCE FROM QUALIFIED EXPERTS

Our attorneys consult with knowledgeable and respected experts to assist with case preparation, such as trauma doctors, chiropractors, forensics engineers, mechanics, and collision reconstruction analysts lend their expertise to help our attorneys obtain the best possible settlements. At trial, these professional experts help by educating jurors about the specifics of the accident, what caused it, and the injuries that resulted.

Surprisingly, a lot of lawyers fail to get all of the information that is needed, but we at the Snyder Law Firm have a great track record of successful outcomes in our cases. We quickly evaluate what kind of information is necessary to prove your case and avoid unnecessary expenses that reduce the value of your overall settlement.

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE

It is important to speak to an attorney immediately following a traffic accident. It is particularly important for you to have a lawyer who gathers all of the evidence of negligence such as photos of the scene and witness statements before they are gone forever. In addition, New York law places time limits on filing an automobile accident claim. We will fully investigate all aspects of your claim.
