Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Long Island

Personal injury lawsuits are available to those who have been injured due to the negligence of another. If you win your case, you could be entitled to compensation for the losses—in legalese, “damages”—you have experienced as a result of your injury.

The main categories of damages for which you may be compensated include:

Pain and suffering, physical and emotional
Medical bills and expenses
Lost wages, benefits, and reduced future earning potential

The point of a personal injury lawsuit is both to hold the at-fault party accountable for their actions and to make you whole from the losses you’ve suffered and will continue to suffer moving forward. However, there are time limits to any type of legal action which, if missed will cause you to forfeit your right to compensation. Therefore, you should not wait to consult a lawyer after your accident.
