Personal Injury

Plaintiff personal injury and wrongful death cases can be difficult.
NY Injury Justice's attorneys understand how insurance companies and lawyers on the other side think. Insurance companies are, of course, interested in minimizing their exposure when a serious injury or death has occurred. They hire attorneys whose job it is to aggressively undermine each aspect of the plaintiff's claim. We know their tactics and do my best to protect the rights, health and safety of my clients. We prepare each case as if it will proceed to trial and we we take a case all the way to verdict if that is what is necessary to produce the fairest result.

When you have been injured:

 

• Gather as much information as you can and preserve evidence. Remember, in most accidents, the negligent party will quickly notify his/her insurance company and act to limit liability. Insurance company adjusters work quickly and efficiently to reduce their risk. If you wait too long to start protecting yourself, you may allow the other party or their insurance company to gather evidence you need. They may speak with witnesses and obtain physical evidence before you can even think about what you need to do.

 

Many people put off contacting a lawyer in the hope of feeling better ("This soreness will go away with time.") or because they believe the other side will treat them fairly. Regrettably, too often we find that an injured party's claim is barred because they simply waited too long or evidence they need had vanished.

 

It is a fact of life that, while injured parties and their families are recovering or grieving, the other side is working diligently to protect their interests and limit their liability.

 

• Identify witnesses. Get their names, addresses and phone numbers. After the passing of time, witnesses often disappear or are unwilling to get involved or give accurate statements of what they saw or heard.

 

• Do not talk to the other side's adjustor or their attorney until you have spoken with your attorney. Remember, if you enter into an agreement with them or sign a release or other document before getting the advice of a lawyer, you may unknowingly limit or prevent your right to a fair recovery. In order to protect yourself and your loved ones, do not make an agreement or sign a document until you have discussed the matter with an attorney of your choice.
