You Deserve Compensation
An accident can leave someone with a concussion, neck injury, nerve damage, laceration, or spinal column injury. These injuries are expensive. A personal injury claim is one way to defray the cost by seeking to force the person responsible to pay compensation.
Our personal injury lawyers fight for:
- Economic damages, including property damage, lost wages, lost income, lost benefits, and medical bills, including rehabilitation expenses. Economic damages may include future losses.
- Non-economic damages for mental distress, anguish, bodily pain, and loss of consortium. We don’t minimize the emotional side of an accident or your injuries.
- You should meet with an attorney to discuss the facts of your personal injury case. Some people will qualify for more compensation than others, and there are many factors to consider. Everything depends on the facts of your case.
Our Personal Injury Lawyers Have the Skills You Need
Most cases involve negotiating with an insurance company for the defendant. Insurers are generally hostile to paying fair compensation. They might claim you are entirely culpable for your accident and deny a claim outright. Other insurance companies will accept a claim but minimize the pain or mental distress you experience. They will offer a small settlement.
Our personal injury law firm knows how to negotiate effectively to increase the pool of compensation in your personal injury lawsuit:
- Full documentation of your personal injury case. We not only want to fully document your injuries and pain, but we learn everything we can about the accident. This information strengthens our hand in negotiation.
- Knowledge of New York personal injury law. Because we know the law, we can advocate to show why you deserve compensation.
- Negotiation experience. We know how much insurance companies can pay and when they are pretending they can’t pay anymore. We can also demand that they treat your claim in good faith.
- Litigation. Not every case will settle outside of court. Sometimes we need to litigate in court. Even the threat of litigation is often enough to bring the defendant to the bargaining table in good faith.
