Navigating Auto Case Litigation in New York: Insights from Justin Blitz’s Lawline Lecture


Blitz Law Group’s own Justin Blitz recently delivered an in-depth lecture on Lawline.com, providing invaluable guidance for plaintiff attorneys handling auto accident litigation in New York. His course, titled “Auto Case Litigation in New York: A Plaintiff Attorney’s Guide from Case Inception to Trial Preparation,” breaks down the key legal strategies and challenges involved in representing accident victims.


Whether you’re an attorney looking to refine your litigation skills or someone involved in an accident case, this lecture sheds light on the complex process of navigating auto injury claims, from case intake to trial preparation.


Key Topics Covered in the Lecture


    1.    Case Evaluation & Intake

The foundation of a successful case starts at intake. Justin Blitz emphasizes the importance of gathering evidence early, interviewing clients thoroughly, and identifying potential liability issues. He discusses how to assess the strength of a claim, ensuring the client’s injuries and the at-fault party’s negligence are well-documented.

    2.    Understanding New York’s No-Fault System

One of the most complex aspects of auto accident litigation in New York is the no-fault insurance system. This system covers medical expenses and lost wages, but also sets specific thresholds for filing lawsuits. Justin explains serious injury thresholds and how to prove a case meets the criteria necessary to seek damages beyond basic insurance coverage.

    3.    Litigation Strategies & Case Building

Building a strong case requires meticulous legal strategy. The lecture dives into:

    •    Effective discovery techniques to obtain crucial evidence

    •    The role of expert witnesses in proving liability and damages

    •    Deposition tactics to strengthen client testimony

    4.    Settlement Negotiations vs. Trial Preparation

Many cases settle before reaching trial, but knowing when to negotiate and when to proceed to court is essential. Justin discusses:

    •    How to strategically negotiate settlements with insurance companies

    •    Preparing compelling evidence for trial if settlement talks fail

    •    The importance of jury selection and trial presentation techniques
