Do I have to pay any upfront costs to hire your firm?
No, we operate on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay us anything unless we win your case. There are no hidden fees or costs. We only get paid if we secure compensation for you.
How long must I file a personal injury claim in New York?
In New York, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years from the date of the accident. However, there are some exceptions, such as claims against a municipality or public authority, which have a much shorter notice of claim requirement, often within 90 days of the incident.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases are settled out of court through negotiations with insurance companies. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are not afraid to take your case to trial to fight for the compensation you deserve.
How long will it take to resolve my case?
The length of time it takes to resolve a personal injury case varies depending on the case’s complexity and the insurance company’s willingness to negotiate a fair settlement. Simple cases may be resolved within a few months, while more complex cases can take a year or more.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes, we offer free consultations to all potential clients. This allows us to review your case, answer your questions, and determine if we can assist you in seeking justice and compensation.
What if I can't come to your office?
We understand that some clients may have difficulty visiting our office due to their injuries or location. That’s why we offer home and hospital visits for those who cannot visit us.
What if the insurance company offers me a settlement?
It’s important not to accept any settlement offers from the insurance company without first consulting with an attorney.
