If you have sought medical care or been hospitalized for injuries in an accident, you will face multiple expenses along with your need for physical and emotional recovery. New York personal injury law allows you to obtain compensation from any person or entity whose negligence or intent has caused you harm. To do so, you must initiate a claim. However, if your claim is for a significant amount of compensation, it will likely be disputed. Such cases require skilled personal injury lawyers.
To determine how much your claim is worth, our attorneys will evaluate the losses and damages you have suffered. This may include payment for:
In cases of disability or another long-term recovery, our team can work with consultants to create a life care plan, which projects future medical and personal care costs for those with catastrophic injuries. We also work with financial consultants to develop an accounting of income losses due to unrealized earnings related to your injuries.
If you have not already done so, you should create a file for all documents, particularly bills and receipts, related to the accident, medical care, lost work time, repairs, etc. Save everything. We will also discuss with you and/or family members the need to keep a journal about how your injury and recovery affect your daily life, both physically and emotionally. This will help to demonstrate your pain and suffering.
Your emotional recovery from an accident is as important as your physical recovery. Many people who have suffered catastrophic or disabling injuries seek psychological counseling to help cope with the drastic change in their lives. Family members who witness a terrible accident or have suffered loss from a loved one’s injuries or death may benefit from this medical care, too. The full costs of these services are included in a proper personal injury or wrongful death claim.
You should contact our Queens personal injury attorneys as soon as possible about a potential personal injury or wrongful death claim. The State of New York’s statutes of limitations imposes strict deadlines after which lawsuits may not be pursued.
The investigations required to develop solid personal injury and wrongful claims are often complex and time-consuming. In addition, an insurance company that fears a large settlement can employ multiple obstructions and delay tactics in hopes of making the statutes of limitations work in their favor.
Additional factors may affect your claim, but general N.Y. statutes of limitations deadlines include:

Queens residents are injured in accidents every day. But we all have a duty of safety to each other. When someone is injured because of another person’s carelessness or negligence, the victim deserves to be compensated for the financial costs of the injuries, as well as for the pain and suffering.
The Queens personal injury attorneys of Zlotolow & Associates have the resources and experience needed to put pressure on insurers. We help clients in a variety of cases, including:
It is a mistake to deal with insurers on your own after a serious accident. Insurance adjusters are legally obligated to their company and its bottom line, not to you. Their job is to pay you as little as possible, close your claim file, and move on.
Our objective as your personal injury attorneys will be to protect you from carrying a financial burden after your accident. Proceeds from a claim should cover all economic costs and losses related to your injuries, and New York personal injury law allows you to receive payment for your pain and suffering, as well.
If someone has injured you or a loved one in an accident, contact our Queens personal injury lawyer today for assistance with a claim. We are experienced and aggressive attorneys who will fight insurers for every bit of compensation you deserve. Contact us online to get started — with no cost and no risk to you.
