Law Offices of Jay S. Knispel Personal Injury Lawyers operates from 450 7th Ave #1605, New York, NY 10123 at 212-564-2800, handling passenger negligence car accident cases. Attorney Jay S. Knispel brings over 25 years experience representing New York accident victims. Passengers typically recover compensation unless their negligence contributes to crashes through hitting drivers, grabbing steering wheels, screaming, covering drivers’ eyes, pressing pedals, throwing objects, or encouraging dangerous driving. New York’s contributory negligence laws don’t bar compensation but reduce recovery by fault percentage. If passengers are 45% at fault for $250,000 damages, maximum recovery becomes $137,500 while bearing 45% liability for other victims’ damages. The firm investigates accident causes determining liability, gathers evidence from all sources, files insurance claims handling all matters, monitors statute of limitations, documents damages calculating claim values, and fights for maximum compensation. Passengers face liability when endangering drivers or road users through negligent conduct. Damages include medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, reduced earning potential, disabilities, and reduced quality of life. The Brooklyn office at 26 Court St., Suite 2511 provides additional service location at 718-802-1600.
