Selecting the most qualified lawyers can have a huge impact on the dollar amount of your cash settlement. Get the maximum monetary award you’re entitled to. Call our experienced Brooklyn personal injury law firm today at 212-514-5100 to get the money you deserve.The monetary value of any case depends on a few important factors, including:
Most notably, catastrophic injuries and wrongful death cases usually top the list. Nevertheless, every accident and therefore every case is different.
You can normally recover compensation for both economic damages (financial losses) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering). Our NYC personal injury law firm can help you seek maximum compensation for all your damages, including:
Punitive damages are also at play for New York personal injury lawsuits. However, there must be robust evidence of willful or wanton negligence, a high degree of moral turpitude, or purposefully dangerous behavior.
Pain and suffering legally translates into the emotional trauma and physical discomfort that you experience after an accident. These types of after-effects don’t set the compensation amount but can greatly influence the process. Needless to say, calculating pain and suffering is not easy.
The “multiplier” method is used most often. Economic damages are first established – things like hospital costs, lost income, and personal expenses. Those damages are multiplied by a number – usually between 1 and 5. The more serious the injury, the higher the multiplier. The total would provide your non-economic award.
When you retain a NYC personal injury lawyer, you are aiding yourself with vital legal help. This allows you to focus more on your physical recovery than the heavy burden of putting your case into suit. During recovery, your lawyer will:
If negotiations take a turn for the worse – meaning that you don’t get a reasonable offer – then we will take your case to trial. Personal injury lawsuits are often settled before a court date is even set. This is why showing your willingness to go to court can pressure insurance companies to make a better offer.
Following your Brooklyn accident, you can pursue a monetary award from those responsible for your injuries. No matter the type of accident or severity of the damages, we’ll fight to get you the compensation you need to cover your expenses during this difficult time. A winning cash award on your behalf should provide all the funds to cover such things as:
Medical Care, Emergency Room Costs, Rehabilitation (Physical and Occupational Therapy), In-Home Health Care, Lost Income & Wages, Reduced Earning Capacity, Childcare Costs, Emotional Distress, Pain & Suffering,
Loss of Enjoyment of Life, and Damages for Wrongful Death.
