It’s always in the best interest of victims of negligence to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer after suffering injuries. Some ways a Brooklyn injury attorney can help include:
If you have recently suffered injuries due to another party’s carelessness, you might be unsure about your next steps. Until you have a chance to consult with an attorney, the answers to these frequently asked questions about personal injury claims in Brooklyn provide some beginning information. You can also find valuable information in our Free Books or our video library.
Your attorney must place a monetary value on your claim that includes economic losses and non-economic losses, which are more difficult to quantify. While it may be difficult to predict an exact amount, your attorney can provide you with a potential range of compensation you might receive if you prevail in your claim.
Although some exceptions exist, most victims of negligence have three years from the date of injury to bring a lawsuit against the party who caused their injuries. In some situations involving public entities, a claim must be filed as soon as 90 days from the date of injury. Families who are filing a wrongful death lawsuit must do so within two years after losing their loved one.
Each case is different. The length of time it takes to settle your claim depends on a number of factors, including the extent of your injuries. You might settle your claim within a few months if your injuries are minor and have resolved and you no longer need additional medical care.
If your injuries are more severe and you require extensive medical care, including surgery, rehabilitation and ongoing future medical treatment, your case may take longer. It is important to reach your maximum medical improvement which is when your lawyer knows to full extent of your injuries and whether you will require future medical care.
Some accident victims may wonder whether they even need to hire a personal injury lawyer to handle their Brooklyn injury claim. While minor injuries that resolve soon after an accident may not need a lawyer, more serious injuries that require extended medical care and/or surgery require the help of an experienced injury lawyer to help you recover maximum compensation.
