FAQs About New York Personal Injury Cases

I’m one of several surviving family members. Can I file a claim on behalf of a loved one who died because someone else was negligent?

Only the personal representative of the deceased’s estate can file a wrongful death claim, though compensation is generally distributed among eligible family members.

Why do I need an attorney for a simple motor vehicle accident?

Even straightforward-seeming accidents can involve disputed liability, delayed injuries, or insurers offering less than a claim is worth. An attorney can help make sure your full damages are accounted for.

I have a permanent injury. How do I pursue compensation?

Documenting the full extent of a permanent injury, including future medical needs and lost earning capacity, typically requires medical experts and careful case preparation to ensure the claim reflects long-term impact, not just current costs.

My insurance company won’t pay my medical bills. Can you help?

Yes. An attorney can handle communication with the insurance company, challenge improper denials or delays, and pursue the compensation you’re entitled to.

How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

If you were injured because of someone else’s negligence, you may have a claim. The best way to find out is to have an attorney review the specific facts of what happened.
