Naturalized U.S. Citizens Since 2000
Many undocumented immigrants fear that they cannot pursue compensation after being injured in a car accident, workplace accident, construction accident, or rideshare collision. In most cases, immigration status does not prevent an injured person from bringing a personal injury claim under New York law.
If you were injured in Long Island or New York City, you may still be entitled to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages (subject to applicable law), pain and suffering, and other damages. Insurance companies and negligent parties should not use your immigration status as a reason to deny valid claims.
At Ask Quintanilla Law, we understand both immigration law and personal injury law. Our firm provides compassionate, confidential representation to undocumented individuals and noncitizens who have been injured and need trusted legal guidance.
We combine immigration and personal injury experience to protect both your legal rights and your peace of mind.
