Personal Injury Frequently Asked Questions

Ladies and gentlemen, residents of of the Big Apple, Aronov Law NY has compiled answers to the most sought after questions in this legal in our injury FAQ below.

How Can I Discern If I Have a Personal Injury Case?

If you have sustained an injury due to the dereliction of another person or entity, it is essential to establish liability and damages to determine if you have a case. In order to file a personal injury claim in New York, the plaintiff must provide evidence that the defendant is responsible for the injuries and demonstrate the nature and extent of the damages. If these characteristics can be verified, you may have a practicable case, and we suggest conferring with a personal injury lawyer to examine your situation.

How Can I Select the Appropriate Personal Injury Attorney for My Case?

When deciding on a personal injury lawyer, it is crucial to ask pertinent questions to ensure you find an experienced, qualified professional who suits your needs. Here are ten questions you may want to consider asking during your consultation:

How much experience do you have handling personal injury cases?
What percentage of your practice is devoted to cases like mine, and how many similar cases have you handled previously?
What is your conquest rate in resolving or prevailing a personal injury case, and what sort of compensations or verdicts have you acquired for clients with injuries similar to mine?
How will you communicate with me and keep me apprised about the progress of my case?
What are your fee arrangements, and how are they structured? Do you work on a contingency fee basis, where payment is contingent upon winning the case, or do you charge hourly or flat rates?
Who will be responsible for handling my case? Will it be you or another attorney from your firm?
How long do you anticipate my case will take to resolve, and what steps will you take to expedite the process?
Can you deliver references or testimonials from past clients?
Will you negotiate with the insurance company on my behalf, or is litigation likely?
What is your approach to settlement negotiations, and how do you balance the goal of reaching a fair settlement with protecting my interests?

What Types of Damages Can Be Compensated in a New York Personal Injury Case?

While each case is unique, the most common damages sought in a New York personal injury lawsuit include pain and suffering resulting from the injury, lost wages related to the injury, and medical expenses (both current and future).

How Is Compensation for Pain and Suffering Determined in a Personal Injury Claim in New York?

Pain and suffering are non-economic damages resulting from the defendant’s negligence. Under New York Law, the time of recovery for pain and agony varies widely hinging on the events of each case. If your case is settled outside of court, your attorney will negotiate with the defendant to determine the compensation for pain and suffering. The value of your case will depend on factors such as the liability of the negligent party, the severity and permanence of your injury, and the income lost due to the injury. In assessing your case, your attorney will consider monetary awards in similar cases. If your case goes to trial, the jury will decide the amount to be awarded for pain and suffering. Your attorney will present expert testimony from professionals such as physicians, economists, and life care planners. Every case is unique, and the selection of experts will depend on the specific facts involved.

How Much Does a Consultation with a Personal Injury Attorney in NYC Cost?

Consultations with personal injury lawyers to discuss potential cases are typically free, as personal injury counsels usually work on a contingency payment basis. This means that the attorney does not charge for the consultation but instead receives a percentage of the amount recovered, typically around 33.33%.

How Personal Injury Law in New York Works?

Personal injury law protects individuals against any wrongful conduct that results in physical harm or mental harm, whether intentional or accidental. These acts are referred to as tort acts or tortious acts. Unlike in a criminal case where the government prosecutes the defendant, in tort lawsuits the objective is to seek compensation for damages resulting from the wrongful conduct of the defendant.

Personal Injury Claims

Any civil wrongdoing that causes physical injury, mental damages, or emotional damages, can be used as a claim against the wrongdoer. The most common claims under personal injury law include:

General Injuries

These types of claims include common injuries like product defects, occupational injuries and tripping.

Medical Injuries

Personal injury law also covers accidents arising from negligence by a healthcare professional. These include both medical and dental accidents. Personal injury claims as a result of medical malpractice constitute a very large part of personal injury lawsuits. In fact, more than $3 billion were spent in the US for medical accident payouts in 2012 alone.

Intentional Torts

Intentional torts are civil wrongdoings that are committed with the intention of posing harm to the victim. Intentional torts commonly include: assault, theft, false imprisonment, domestic violence, and actions that cause emotional distress.

Types of Damages

Damages from personal injury cases are classified into special damages or general damages.

General damages tend to be difficult to measure, in that the damage suffered by the victim cannot be measured in terms of monetary compensation. General damages include emotional distress, pain and suffering, emotional and mental trauma, and loss of consortium. To determine compensation for such damages, expert testimony is often necessary. These gray areas are where the court-battle between accident & injury attorneys can really heat up.

Special damages, on the other hand, are much easier to measure because they typically involve damages with tangible costs. These include, damages to property, medical expenses, and loss of income.

Settlement of Personal Injury Cases

Personal injury, accident or tort cases can be resolved in one of two ways. The plaintiff can either file a formal lawsuit (civil complaint) against the wrongdoer. If it is established in a civil court trial that there is negligence on part of the defendant, the defendant must then compensate the plaintiff for all damages established in the tort law case.

Another, more discreet option, is to settle the tort case informally. In an informal settlement, the people involved or their local injury or accident lawyers typically agree to a settlement without filing a legal case against the defendant. The settlement typically comes in the form of monetary compensation for damages to the plaintiff.

Most personal injury law cases in NYC are settled informally. Instead of letting the case reach the civil court, settlement is discussed during litigation. In some cases, when the defendant is sure to be at fault, both parties agree upon an early settlement of the dispute where the defendant compensates the plaintiff for damages incurred as a result of the former’s negligence. The plaintiff, on the other hand, agrees not to pursue a lawsuit in exchange for compensation.

To determine the best course of action for a personal injury case, it is best to discuss your options with your attorney.
