FAQ - Personal Injury

What Should I Do After An Accident?

After an accident, if possible take some cell phone photographs or videos to document the scene. Report the accident, typically to the police. Obtain the badge number or police report number, seek medical help if you are injured to document your injury. Make sure to discuss all of your injuries at your initial consultation even if they are minor, do not omit them. Get the advice of an experienced legal attorney.

How Soon After An Accident Should I Hire A Personal Injury Attorney?

Lawyer up as soon as possible. What you say can, and will, be used against you. An experienced personal injury lawyer will help you understand the legal process and assist you in getting the maximum recovery available in your case.

What Is The Statute Of Limitations For A Personal Injury Claim In NYC?

In general, most actions for personal injury must be commenced within 3 years. Damages for any medical or dental malpractice claim are limited to 2.5 years with some exceptions. Wrongful death claims must be started within 2 years of the date of death. Any injury or medical malpractice claim against or involving a municipality such as the city of New York must be initiated by a notice of claim properly filed within 90 days of the injury. There are a discovery rule for foreign objects and certain cancer cases.

How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

If you suffered a personal injury in New York to your person or property due to someone else’s fault, you have a personal injury case. Keep in mind that bringing a personal injury lawsuit does not always have to be due to physical injury. In some cases, personal injury claims can be based on a number of different nonphysical harms and losses. For example, in case of an assault, it is not necessary to show that the action of the party at fault caused you actual physical harm, but only that you expected them to harm you. You may also have a personal injury case if someone has inflicted emotional distress on you, invaded your privacy or attacked your reputation.

How Do I Know If I Qualify For A Personal Injury Settlement?

There are three factors generally considered in awarding a settlement:

1.  Determining fault.

2. Determining extent of injuries.

3. Is there applicable insurance to cover the claim?

What Kind Of Expenses Are Typically Included In A Settlement?

In New York State, attorneys are only permitted to charge expenses that are approved by the court.  Typically, they involve outside experts or court costs where the attorney has to spend money that is necessary to develop your case.  Expenses do not include lawyers time or overhead.

How soon after the accident should I file a personal injury lawsuit?

Certain time limits, known as the statute of limitations, exist in every state, and this statute varies from one state to another. This governs the amount of time you have to file a personal injury lawsuit against another person. In some states, there may be limited time which could be little as a year for you to file a lawsuit for compensation based on a car accident. In case you fail to file a lawsuit on time and miss the deadline, you may lose your legal right to file your lawsuit. This is why you should immediately consult a lawyer as soon as you discover or suffer a personal injury in New York after an accident.

Why do I need an attorney for my personal injury case?

Many victims of an accident think that they can file a personal injury lawsuit themselves as their injuries or damage to their property are obvious, or because they want to settle the matter as soon as possible and move on with their lives. However, without an attorney, you might not receive the rightful compensation you deserve for your injuries. You should understand that the goal of an adjuster is to pay you as little as possible for damages. With an attorney by your side, you can make sure that this does not happen and you recover maximum damages as per the law in your state.

Have I Waived My Rights Because I Signed A Consent Form?

Believe it or not, a consent form does not necessarily prevent you from bringing a claim.  If there is a maxim in the law that does not commit anyone to be negligent and harm you, even if we signed a consent.

How Much Does Your Firm Charge?

We work strictly on a contingency fee basis.  That means if we don’t win your case, we don’t get paid and you owe us nothing.  If we are successful, we receive a percentage, typically 1/3 or less depending on the type of claim.  Expenses only come out of a successful result.

How Much Money Should I Ask For Or Expect?

An experienced attorney can provide you with court approved verdicts or settlements involving similar injuries.  Your specific case could be limited by available insurance or any finding or comparative fault which would reduce your award.

Can I file a lawsuit against my employer for an industrial accident?

In some industrial accident cases, the injured worker is entirely at fault, whether it is because of recklessness or carelessness at the job site. However, there are many cases where the accident is caused by some type of negligence on the employer or a co-worker’s part. For example, the employer did not provide proper drilling and training in following workplace safety regulations or failed to inspect and maintain machinery and equipment properly and regularly. In such cases, the injured worker may be able to sue for personal injury. Surviving family members may also be entitled to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Even if the employer is not at fault, an injured worker may be able to file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits, as long as such insurance is carried by the company.
