Personal Injury Specialists

Our lawyers at Bendall & Mednick are well-versed in the types of auto accidents that happen in upstate New York and the Capital District. We have represented many individuals who have gotten in a car accident on I-90, Northway I-87 and the New York State Thruway. Do not stress about your medical and therapy bills. We'll work aggressively for you to make sure you get every penny you are entitled to following your car accident.

The Insurance Company Is Not On Your Side

The other party's auto insurer is not on your side following a car accident. They would be perfectly happy with a statement to use against you in court. Before talking to the insurance company, speak to an attorney from Bendall & Mednick.

Drivers with Bad or No Insurance

What happens if the other driver has little or no insurance? Here in the state of New York, you are able to purchase underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage to protect yourself in a situation such as this.

Underinsured motorist coverage can mean the difference between collecting barely enough money to cover the damage and collecting much more from the other party's insurance.

Representation After a Car Accident

Vehicle rollovers, tire blowouts and sharp roadway turns are all common causes of auto accidents. The first step is always to determine who is responsible for your injuries. Rollovers have become a high-profile issue in recent years, especially with the attention given to SUV rollovers. But they are caused by a number of different factors, including:
  • Dangerous weight distribution in the vehicle's design
  • Defective tires
  • Road design defects
  • Unsafe road conditions
Depending on the facts of your accident, you may be able to get compensation from the auto manufacturer, the tire manufacturer, the dealer who sold the vehicle to you or even the state itself.

If you were injured in a rollover accident while riding in a bus, van or another vehicle, you may have a claim against the driver or company who owns the vehicle.
Car Accident Highways

Major Local Highways

As you are likely aware, the New York State Thruway and Adirondack Northway (I-87) are major transportation corridors for the state, as well as the entire northeast region. Serious accidents on these major roads are sadly all too common. Our main office is located in Schenectady, so we are quite familiar with the sort of accidents that can take place on these roads.
Car Accident Drivers

Holding Negligent Drivers Responsible

On these major local roadways, there is always an increased risk of accidents during rush hour and at night. Due to heavy traffic and high speed limits, high-velocity car crashes and trucking accidents are common.

The New York State Thruway Authority is responsible for the upkeep of the Thruway and the New York State Department of Transportation oversees the Northway. Claims against state agencies are subject to unique restrictions, and time limits are adjudicated by a special court called the New York Court of Claims.
