Personal Injury Compensation: What You Need to Know

The cause of your injuries can play a role in how you seek compensation. You may make an insurance claim or take legal action by filing a personal injury lawsuit.

For example, if you were hit by another driver, you would usually make a claim through your own insurance provider. In New York, many medical expenses are recoverable as part of your own no-fault coverage. If your injuries meet a certain degree of seriousness, you can seek recovery from the at-fault party’s insurer.

You can also seek pain and suffering through a third-party liability lawsuit. Other damages you can seek include:

• Lost wages
• Reduced earning capacity
• Scarring and disfigurement

What if You Share Fault for the Accident?

We will also help you understand the role of contributory negligence. According to CPLR § 1411, any damages you might be awarded will be diminished according to the percentage of liability for your injuries assigned to you. We will help accurately assign fault and fight to protect your right to recovery.

Proving the Four Elements of Negligence

In any type of personal injury case, you have to establish the four elements of negligence. We can collect evidence that demonstrates the at-fault party had a duty of care and how they breached it. From there, we can work to show that their negligence caused or contributed to your accident. Finally, we can work to link your injuries to your accident.

The evidence we gather can range from witness statements to police reports, and we compile it for you. We can also collect evidence that proves and current and ongoing costs of treating the injuries you sustained.

Deadlines May Apply to Your Case

Our goal during representation is to negotiate the financial settlement you are entitled to. We can, however, file a lawsuit on your behalf to protect your right to take your case to trial if needed. We take this step to comply with the following filing deadlines:

• CPLR § 214: If the accident you were involved in resulted in injuries for you or someone you love, the personal injury statute of limitations generally entitles you to three years to file your lawsuit. The statutory clock starts running on the date the injury occurred.
• EPTL § 5-4.1: If the accidental injury in question resulted in the demise of someone you love, the state’s wrongful death statute of limitations generally entitles you to two years to file your lawsuit. The statutory clock starts running on the day of your loved one’s demise.

With enough notice from you, we can help you meet these deadlines. We can also clarify any circumstances of your injury that may extend the filing deadline. Similarly, seeking damages from a municipality could potentially shorten the filing deadline.
