New York Personal Injury Law FAQ's

Do I need a lawyer for my personal injury case?

While you’re not required to hire an attorney, personal injury cases can be complex. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working to minimize payouts. An experienced personal injury attorney levels the playing field and typically recovers significantly more compensation than you could obtain on your own.

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. Our fee is only collected if we win your case, and it comes as a percentage of your settlement or verdict. If we don’t recover compensation for you, you owe us nothing.

In New York, you generally have three years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, claims against government entities (like New York City) require filing a notice of claim within 90 days. Don’t wait – contact us immediately to protect your rights.

The value of your case depends on many factors including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs. We’ll provide a realistic assessment after reviewing your case details during your free consultation.

Every case is different. Some cases settle within months, while others may take 1-2 years or longer if they go to trial. Complex cases with severe injuries typically take longer. We’ll keep you informed throughout the process and work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible.

Most personal injury cases settle out of court through negotiations. However, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial to ensure we’re ready to fight for maximum compensation if settlement negotiations fail.

New York follows comparative negligence rules, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault, you can still recover 80% of your damages.

You may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical bills (past and future)
  • Lost wages and earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement

Do not give a recorded statement or accept any settlement offer from an insurance company before speaking with an attorney. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Let us handle all communications with insurance companies to protect your interests.

We can help connect you with doctors who will treat you on a lien basis, meaning they’ll wait for payment until your case is resolved. Don’t let financial concerns prevent you from getting the medical care you need.
