The Law Firm of Richard Stelnik, Esq. provides aggressive and experienced legal representation to car accident victims. The firm was founded in 1981 and it is conveniently located and easily accessible in lower Manhattan in New York City.

The firm represents car accident victims who have sustained significant physical or psychological injuries (sometimes referred to as "personal injuries") and related financial damages. The firm understands that a car accident that occurs in a split second can change the life of a car accident victim forever - and the firm always fights hard for the rights of car accident victims with this in mind.

The firm has a great deal of experience negotiating the settlement of car accident cases. However, if a reasonable pre-trial settlement is not offered, the firm will not hesitate to take a case to trial. Although many car accident cases in fact do settle before trial, the detailed preparation required in anticipation of an eventual jury trial tends to increase the dollar amount of pre-trial settlements that are received.

The firm works with experienced accident investigators, engineers, medical professionals and others who assist the firm in preparing it's cases so that they are in a winning posture for trial.

Car accidents can be caused by many different factors. For example, some car accidents are caused by driver error, such as when a car fails to stop at a stop sign or when a driver does not keep his car under control and it hits a pedestrian. Other car accidents are caused, for example, by defects in the car itself, such as when a car has defective tires or defective brakes. Additionally, sometimes injuries are caused or made worse by defects in the car itself, such as when there are defective seat belts or when an air bag causes injuries. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2002, 42,815, people were killed and 1,296,000 people were injured in an estimated 1,316,000 police reported motor vehicle traffic accidents.
