Upper West Side Personal Injury Attorneys

Personal Injury Attorney Serving Upper West Side

It is unfortunate, but accidents happen. You may be entitled to compensation if you were injured in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence. The Upper West Side personal injury attorneys of Hach & Rose, LLP know that you face a financial, physical, and emotional burden after a severe injury.

During this challenging time, our legal team can help protect your rights and fight tenaciously for fair compensation for your injuries. You should not have to face this challenging time in life alone. Our legal team is committed to understanding the details of your case and unearthing the evidence needed to support your claim.

Insurance companies employ adjusters who work hard to lower their company’s financial liability. These people are skilled negotiators. They often want to speak with you directly after the accident for more information and possibly to offer you a quick settlement. It is important you don’t speak with an adjuster without your attorney present so you don’t accidentally say something that negatively impacts your case.

You should also know that the first settlement is not often a fair settlement. Insurance companies have experienced adjusters and lawyers representing their rights. You should too. Call the legal team of Hach & Rose, LLP at (212) 779-0057 or contact us online to schedule your free case evaluation.

What Type of Compensation Is Available?

After an accident, your attorney may be able to negotiate a fair settlement with the at-fault person’s insurance company. If a reasonable settlement can’t be reached, you may wish to file a personal injury lawsuit to recover compensation, called “damages.” If your case goes to court, you may be awarded compensation for several accident-related losses to help cover your costs. These include:

Medical expenses: The money is meant to cover your medical bills related to the injury. This can include doctor visits, surgery, medical specialists, physical therapy, and prescription medications. Depending on your injuries and the estimation of your future costs, the court may also award you compensation to cover future medical care. This can also include home care.

Lost wages: These are damages paid for the time you may have missed work due to the injuries you received in the accident because of another person’s negligent actions. If you are unable to return to your old job because of a physical disability that resulted from the accident, you may be entitled to help or retraining so you can find a new job.

Property damage: The court may award you compensation for property damaged during the accident, such as a cell phone, laptop, bicycle, motorcycle, car, or recreational vehicle.

Pain and suffering: The law allows an individual to be compensated for pain and suffering and other emotional distress, such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD, after an accident.
