If you’ve been in a motor vehicle accident, you may think that you don’t have a case because New York is a no-fault state, where your own insurance company typically pays your medical bills and lost wages regardless of who was at fault. However, the amount your insurance company will pay is limited and may not be enough to meet your expenses from the accident. Furthermore, justice for pain and suffering is not part of the no-fault system. New York recognizes this and permits people who are seriously injured to file personal injury lawsuits against the drivers or other parties responsible for causing the collision. In such personal suits, injury victims can recover for physical and psychological injuries, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and economic damages such as medical bills, future medical needs, and lost wages.

After an accident or injury, it’s essential to quickly contact an experienced trial lawyer who can gather key evidence, start an immediate investigation, provide advice and communicate with insurance companies and medical providers to protect your rights.

The compensation awarded in a personal injury case will depend on numerous factors, including whether the victim contributed to the accident, the extent and severity of any physical injuries and the individual characteristics of the victim or the defendant. Only an experienced personal injury attorney can review the unique facts and circumstances of your case and offer advice about the best way to proceed to obtain the compensation you deserve.

Many clients are surprised to learn they actually have a personal injury case. The first step is to seek advice from a lawyer who understands what it takes to successfully bring a personal injury claim and who understands what you and your family may be going through.

A successful personal injury case requires investigation, documentation, interviews, consultation with experts and intimate knowledge of the injuries and losses involved. In a personal injury case, there is no substitute for experience.
