Recoverable Damages After a Serious Car Accident in the Bronx
Catastrophic car accident injuries often come with staggering financial, physical, and emotional costs. Victims may require emergency treatment at Level I trauma centers like Jacobi Medical Center or Lincoln Medical Center, followed by long-term rehabilitation, surgeries, and around-the-clock care. At Aviles Law Firm PLLC, we understand the full impact these injuries can have on your life, and we fight to recover every dollar you need for a secure future.
If you’ve suffered a catastrophic injury such as spinal cord trauma, traumatic brain injury (TBI), severe burns, or multiple fractures, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Medical Expenses (Current and Future)
Catastrophic injuries typically involve extensive medical care, starting with emergency transport and trauma center admission. Facilities like St. Barnabas Hospital and Montefiore Medical Center often provide lifesaving interventions, but the costs don’t end there. We pursue compensation for:
- Emergency treatment and ICU care
- Surgeries and specialist consultations
- Hospital stays and follow-up appointments
- Physical therapy and occupational rehabilitation
- Home modifications and assistive devices
- In-home nursing care
We work closely with medical experts to calculate your future care needs and factor those costs into your demand.
Lost Income and Loss of Earning Capacity
After a catastrophic accident, you may be unable to return to work, either temporarily or permanently. We fight to recover:
- Lost wages during your recovery
- Loss of future income due to disability
- Missed promotions or career opportunities
- Retirement and benefit losses
Pain and Suffering
Catastrophic injuries often result in lifelong pain, emotional trauma, and diminished quality of life. We pursue damages for:
- Chronic physical pain
- Mental health struggles, such as PTSD, depression, or anxiety
- Loss of independence
- Sleep disturbances, disfigurement, or emotional distress
Loss of Enjoyment of Life
Whether it’s playing with your children, engaging in hobbies, or enjoying your favorite activities, catastrophic injuries can rob you of life’s pleasures. We ensure that this profound loss is not overlooked in your claim.
Permanent Disability or Disfigurement
Visible scarring, paralysis, or loss of limb function can affect your confidence, relationships, and daily activities. We fight for compensation that reflects these deeply personal and life-altering changes.

Car Accident FAQs
The time after a car crash is scary. We know you likely have a lot of questions; we have answers.
What Areas of the Bronx Are Most Dangerous for Drivers?
Everyone knows about traffic in the Bronx and throughout New York. However, our personal injury attorneys know that certain areas can be more dangerous for drivers and other road users.
Intersections
According to The Bronx Daily, accidents are common at Bronx intersections, especially at intersections with multiple lanes. Two of these intersections include:
- 3rd Avenue and E. 149th Street
- 4th Avenue and Prospect Avenue
Expressways and Interstates
Two roadways see considerable traffic and accidents daily:
- The Cross Bronx Expressway (I-95) sees approximately 150,000 vehicles daily, according to the New York State Department of Transportation. Truck accidents are common on this stretch of roadway. This road will continue to be dangerous and congested as major bridge replacements are planned for Spring 2026.
- The Major Deegan Expressway also sees its fair share of accidents, often caused by a failure to yield or merge correctly.
Areas Surrounding Landmarks and Tourist Attractions
The Bronx is also home to several high-traffic areas, including the Bronx Zoo and Yankee Stadium. These landmarks, coupled with the Bronx’s proximity to Manhattan, mean that both vehicular and foot traffic are common. Distracted or impatient pedestrians or drivers can cause serious or even deadly accidents.
What Types of Car Accident Cases Does Aviles Law Firm PLLC Take?
We handle all types of car crash cases, including:
- Sideswipes
- T-bone crashes
- Head-on collisions
- Rear-end crashes
- Rollovers
- Accidents caused by defects
- Rideshare accidents
We can also help with pedestrian, motorcycle, bicycle, and truck accident cases.
What Is My Bronx Car Crash Case Worth?
We can’t determine your case’s exact value without investigating all your damages. However, these key factors influence the value of a claim, especially in catastrophic cases:
- The severity of your injuries
- Your age and future earning potential
- Your profession and salary
- The extent of pain and suffering
- Your ability to return to work
- The cost of ongoing medical care
- Impact on daily life and relationships
- Strength of the evidence and insurance limits
Case examples:
- $25 million to a woman who suffered severe spinal injuries after being hit by a tractor-trailer
- $8 million for clients injured in a car crash
- $3.7 million for a client hit by a taxi due to NYC Sanitation Department negligence
What Is Negligence?
Negligence occurs when another person acts carelessly or recklessly. Examples include:
- Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
- Drunk or drugged driving
- Tailgating
- Weaving through traffic
- Texting and driving
- Failing to yield
- Improper merges or lane changes
- Failing to check for oncoming traffic before turning left
Can I Recover Compensation If I Am Partially at Fault?
Yes. Under New York’s pure comparative fault law, you can still recover compensation even if you share some blame. However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Example: If you’re found 30% at fault for a $1.5 million award, you would recover $1,050,000. Our team ensures you aren’t unfairly assigned fault that reduces your compensation.
Can I Afford a Lawyer?
Yes. We handle cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront—no retainers or hourly fees. We only get paid if we win your case. Our fee is an agreed-upon percentage of your final settlement or award, discussed upfront with no surprises.
Is There a Time Limit on How Long I Have to Act?
Yes. New York’s statute of limitations on car accident lawsuits is three years, per CPLR § 214. Failing to file within that time may prevent you from recovering compensation. Contact us today to protect your rights.
