Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York
injury claim
Should an auto injury that happened in the state of Arizona be handled by A Ny lawyer or an Arizona lawyer. The accident is a no fault, I was hit by a DUI individual who was arrested at the scene. My rental auto was destroyed. Any feed back welcomed

Arizona lawyer most definitely.

Re: injury claim
Presumably, the driver with whom you collided was an Arizona resident. If so, NY would not have jurisdiction over such a driver. You would have to sue for pain and suffering in AZ. No-fault claims can be handled without a lawyer. Usually done by mail. Best, ME Zuller
