Why Hire Our Personal Injury Attorneys

Working with an experienced personal injury attorney can make the difference between having the financial security you deserve and being left with thousands of dollars of debt. Here are some ways our Jericho personal injury lawyers can help with your case:

Establishing liability – The first step in pursuing the money you need after an accident is determining who is liable for your injuries. Our team is ready to comb through every piece of evidence to identify all the parties responsible for what happened to you.
Documenting your injuries – You have just one chance to recover compensation after an accident, and you need to make it count. That means calculating the total value of every compensable loss under state law. We can use your medical records, pay stubs, tax returns, expert testimony, and other evidence to create a complete account of everything you lost in the accident.
Filing your claim – All personal injury cases involve a lot of paperwork, and correctly filing it is a crucial element of your case. Our experienced team will handle this on your behalf so your claim is filed accurately and on time.
Dealing with the insurance companies – Most successful personal injury claims end in a settlement from the liable insurer. However, insurers have a profit motive, which means they’ll deny or minimize any claim they can. There is an art to insurance settlement negotiations, and we know how to build a compelling argument and back it up with the threat of a lawsuit.
Preparing your case for trial – It is relatively rare for a personal injury case to make it to trial, but you should be ready for that possibility. If the insurance company will not agree to a fair settlement, you may need to force the issue at trial. Our veteran legal team has extensive courtroom experience and will thoroughly prepare your case for trial.

Evaluating Compensation in a Personal Injury Case

Every personal injury case is different, so it is hard to say how much yours is worth without reviewing your situation and examining the evidence. That said, a personal injury settlement or judgment could provide you with compensation for the following losses:

Any medical expenses related to the accident and your injuries
Your lost wages from the accident, along with your reduced future earnings if you have a disability
Your pain and suffering from the accident
Any emotional distress you experience due to the accident

Many injured people worry that they cannot pursue compensation because they were somewhat responsible for the accident that injured them. However, that is not the case in New York, which allows injured parties to receive compensation even if they were partially to blame for the accident. Our experienced attorneys are ready to review your case and determine your options.

New York Statute of Limitations on Personal Injury Claims

New York law states that, in most cases, you have three years from the date of an accident to file a lawsuit against any at-fault parties. While certain circumstances could extend the deadline for filing personal injury claims, there is no guarantee you will receive an extension. Meeting with a lawyer as soon as you can after the accident is the best thing you can do to avoid issues with the statute of limitations.
