Questions
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?

What compensation can I recover for my injuries?
You may receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs related to your injury.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
New York generally allows three years from the accident date, but specific cases like medical malpractice have shorter deadlines.
Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle out of court, but our attorneys prepare every case for trial to maximize settlement leverage and ensure fair outcomes.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident?
New York's comparative negligence law allows compensation even with partial fault, though amounts reduce proportionally to your assigned responsibility.
