$1.635 Million Auto Accident Recovery in Suffolk County
Raphaelson & Levine recovered $1.635 million through arbitration for a Suffolk County motorist left with serious injuries following a motor vehicle collision.
A Serious Collision on Long Island
Our client was traveling on a Suffolk County roadway when another driver's negligence caused a significant collision. The impact left our client with serious personal injuries that demanded ongoing medical treatment and forced them away from work for an extended period. When their previous law firm struggled to move the case forward, our client sought more experienced representation.
Raphaelson & Levine took over the case and immediately recognized that a stronger, more decisive legal strategy was needed to hold the at-fault driver accountable.
Winning Liability Before Trial
Rather than waiting for a protracted trial on both liability and damages, our Long Island car accident attorneys filed a motion for partial summary judgment on the question of fault. The court agreed, issuing an order that established the defendant's liability as a matter of law. This was a critical turning point. With fault no longer in dispute, the defense had no choice but to negotiate seriously on the value of our client's injuries.
Our attorneys then prepared a comprehensive damages presentation, including medical expert testimony, vocational assessments, and a detailed accounting of past and future losses.

"Sometimes the most important step in a case is knowing exactly when to go on offense. By securing summary judgment on liability early, we shifted the entire dynamic and put our client in the strongest possible position to recover what they deserved." — Jason Krakower, Car Accident Attorney at Raphaelson & Levine
