When you have been hurt in an accident caused by someone else’s carelessness or negligence, you are entitled to receive compensation. Personal injury lawyers can help you fight for this compensation by filing a claim or lawsuit. Having a skilled personal injury law firm on your side will ensure that you get the full amount of compensation possible to pay for your medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses.
Injuries from traffic accidents, such as car accidents or motorcycle crashes, may cause significant physical injuries and financial damages to victims. These include loss of work, disability, and pain and suffering. Those who have suffered from these accidents should contact an experienced New York personal injury attorney at Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., for a free consultation to learn more about their rights and how we can assist them with their case.
A New York City personal injury attorney from our team will review your case during a free consultation to help you determine if you have a valid claim and what compensation you can receive. In addition, your personal injury lawyer will review any subrogation provisions in your health and auto insurance coverage that apply to your case. They will also ensure that your insurer is not trying to hide or underpay your claim, and that you have the right to sue your insurance company.
Some personal injuries are life-altering or permanent, requiring surgery, physical therapy, and other costly treatments to cope with. They can even lead to disabling conditions, including paralysis and wrongful death.
Many people who are hurt in an accident do not immediately realize that they may be able to file a claim against the responsible party. Having the legal support of an experienced personal injury law firm can make all the difference between a successful settlement and a lengthy court battle.
Your attorney will work with medical professionals to determine your injuries, restrictions, and disabilities. This can be done in person or over the phone. Your lawyer will also gather documentation on your past and future medical expenses and income loss, along with a liability analysis to determine whether or not your case has merit.
Once your lawyer has an understanding of the nature of your injuries and the extent of your medical treatment, they will draft a demand letter that you can submit to the liability carrier. This demand letter usually includes a packet of your medical bills, reports from medical experts, and income loss documentation.
If the liability carrier does not accept the demand, your attorney will take the case to trial in order to secure a fair settlement. During trial, your lawyer will use evidence and witness testimony to demonstrate that the liability carrier was negligent in the accident and should be held accountable for your losses.

They can be compassionate and supportive of your needs throughout the litigation process. Their knowledge and experience will help your loved ones get the compensation that they deserve, so they can move forward with their lives.
