Compensation You Can Recover After an Auto Accident
Car accident victims in Nassau County may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages depending on the severity of their injuries.
Economic Damages
- Medical and rehabilitation expenses
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Property damage
- Home modifications for accessibility
- Long-term care and assistance
- Transportation and related costs
Non-Economic Damages

In fatal accidents, families may also pursue wrongful death damages.
What If You Are Partially at Fault for the Accident?
New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you share fault. The process works as follows:
- Each party is assigned a percentage of fault
- Your compensation is reduced by your percentage
- You can still recover damages even if you are mostly at fault
For example, a $100,000 award reduced by 10 percent fault results in $90,000 in recovery.

Hear From Our Clients
“I was hit by a car and sustained an injury, and after the involved insurance company tried to make everything go away with an extreme lowball offer, I thankfully contacted Steve Gokberk at Kohan Law Group who had been referred to me by a longtime friend. Steve was unbelievably thorough, explaining everything to me in detail and what to expect during the litigation. He set realistic time frames for the progression of the case , and options and outcome expectations that really helped me come to a settlement decision. His paralegal team was also great, making a tough time a lot easier. My experience and outcome were both exceptional and would recommend Steve and Kohan Law highly.” – Tom
