How we help

A family firm ready to stand between you and the insurance company.

A collision can leave you balancing medical care, missed work, vehicle repairs, and pressure from insurance companies. The Lama Law Firm helps injured people protect their rights and pursue the full measure of their losses.

We take time to understand not only how the incident happened, but how the injury has changed your work, health, independence, and family life. That full picture guides our approach to negotiation and, when necessary, litigation.

Before your first conversation

Preparing to discuss a car or motorcycle crash

You do not need a complete file to contact us. Start with the facts you know; keep original documents and photographs, and tell us about any upcoming deadlines.

  • The date, location, police report number, and names of the drivers involved.
  • Photographs of the scene and vehicles, witness contact information, and any available video.
  • Insurance cards, claim numbers, adjuster correspondence, medical bills, and records of missed work.

Use the initial inquiry form for a short summary. Do not send medical records, account numbers, or other highly sensitive documents through that form; ask the firm how to provide documents appropriately.

What if more than one insurance policy may apply?

Bring your own insurance information as well as any details you have about the other vehicles. Identifying coverage is a separate task from determining who caused the crash. Our review considers the vehicles, the people involved, and the available policy documents; coverage should not be assumed from a claim number alone.

Insurance knowledge, grounded in experience

Luciano L. “Nino” Lama worked in insurance before becoming an attorney. Learn about his insurance industry background and published insurance books. Our father-and-son firm pairs that perspective with attention to the facts of each injury claim.

Do not wait for a complete file to ask about deadlines.

Time limits depend on the claim and circumstances. Insurance requirements and claims involving public entities may require earlier action. An inquiry does not extend a deadline or establish representation. The New York Courts time-limit overview provides general information, not a determination of your deadline.

Based at 2343 North Triphammer Road in Ithaca, we serve Central New York, the Southern Tier, and clients throughout New York State. Contact and directions · 607-275-3425
