Motor Vehicle Accident Attorneys in New York & New Jersey

Legal Support After Serious Auto Accidents

If you've been injured in a motor vehicle accident, the physical recovery is only part of the battle. Dealing with insurance companies, mounting medical bills, and the long-term financial impact can be overwhelming. At Larkin Farrell, we represent drivers and passengers throughout New York and New Jersey who have been hurt in car crashes caused by negligence, recklessness, or carelessness.


We understand the complexities of fault, no-fault insurance laws, and litigation. Whether your accident happened on a city street, a rural highway, or a residential road, we’ll help you build a strong case from the very start.

Understanding Fault, Claims & Recovery Options:

Determining who was at fault—and how to prove it—is critical. We assist clients with:


  • Gathering accident reports, witness statements, and dashcam footage
  • Investigating road conditions, traffic signals, and driver behavior
  • Challenging claims of partial fault or contributory negligence
  • Pursuing both economic and non-economic damages, including pain and suffering

In New York, we help clients navigate the no-fault system while identifying when they meet the “serious injury threshold” to file a liability claim. In New Jersey, we help select the right recovery path based on your insurance policy and injury severity.

Early Documentation is Everything

Photos, medical records, police reports, and statements gathered immediately after the crash often determine how successful your claim will be.

No-Fault Doesn’t Mean No Options

In both NY and NJ, you're entitled to more than just basic coverage if your injuries are serious or long-lasting.

Insurance Companies Will Push Back

Don’t accept an offer without legal review. We negotiate directly with insurers—and take cases to trial when needed—to ensure fair compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I still file a claim if the accident was partially my fault?

    Yes. NY and NJ allow recovery under comparative fault rules, but your compensation may be reduced. We help assess and challenge those percentages.

  • What if I have limited tort coverage in NJ?

    You may still sue for serious injuries. We evaluate your policy and the circumstances to determine your options.

  • How long do I have to file a claim?

    In NY, the statute is generally 3 years; in NJ, it’s 2. The sooner you act, the better chance we have to preserve evidence and build leverage.

  • What damages can I recover?

    You may be entitled to medical costs, lost wages, out-of-pocket expenses, future care costs, and compensation for pain and suffering.
