How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit?
New York law’s
statute of limitations dictates the amount of time you have to file a personal injury lawsuit. You have three years from the accident date in New York to file. If you go beyond these three years, your case will likely be dismissed, and you’ll lose your chance to pursue compensation through the court system. Your personal injury attorney will use this time wisely to
gather evidence to support your claim, negotiate with the insurance company, and file the necessary paperwork for a personal injury lawsuit. Since several steps in a lawsuit can take several months, this time can go by quickly. You must contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after your injury to begin the process.
How Working with a Bushwick Personal Injury Attorney Can Benefit Your Case
The weeks and months after an accident are challenging. You may feel as if your world was turned upside down as you dealt with the physical and emotional injuries from the traumatic event. The legal team at
Hach & Rose, LLP wants you to know we are here to fight for you. Choosing the right attorney to protect your rights and fight for fair compensation is important. You might feel that all attorneys are equally skilled. Yet, like other professionals, attorneys have varying abilities, experience, and success levels. Your selection can significantly impact
the outcome of negotiations with an insurance company or legal action in court. Not long after an accident, the at-fault party's insurance company may send an insurance adjuster to ask questions about the accident or to offer you a settlement. Although the insurance adjuster may act like they want to be a friend of the victim, their goal is to gather evidence to disprove your claim. Insurance adjusters are skilled negotiators representing the insurance company's financial interest. You should
have someone representing your financial interest, too. When the insurance company notices they are dealing directly with the victim, they may delay settling a claim in the hope that you will become discouraged and accept a lowball offer. The case may get delayed so long that it goes beyond the statute of limitations deadline for filing a lawsuit. The process of recovering compensation, or damages, for your injuries and losses, is not often simple. You may be hospitalized or unable to leave home because of accident-related injuries. Working with skilled and experienced attorneys who will fight to protect your rights is important.

Common Injuries from Accidents
Accidents can cause several types of injuries. While some are immediately obvious, others can take weeks to show up. You may experience physical, emotional, mental, and or psychological injury.

Types of Compensation Available
After an accident that was not your fault, you may be entitled to several types of compensation. These normally fall under the category of economic or non-economic damages. Economic damages are compensation for objectively verifiable financial costs for which you can usually produce a receipt. These expenses include medical expenses, lost wages, future earnings, and property damage. Non-economic damages are compensation for subjective losses for which you may not be able to produce a receipt. These losses can include emotional pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of companionship, and loss of consortium.
Reclaim Your Life After an Accident
After an accident, you are likely facing uncertainty and a long list of things to do. The added doctor's visits, pain, and medical costs greatly demand your time and finances.
