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.
For decades, The Platta Law Firm has been representing injured accident victims in Brooklyn and winning huge cash awards on their behalf. Over the years, we’ve established close relationships with some of the most respected accident and injury experts in the tri-state area. It’s these highly-regarded professionals who can have a tremendous impact on the success of your case, and we’ve got them to fight for you. These experts along with our highly skilled, Brooklyn personal injury lawyers present the ultimate 1-2 punch for a winning verdict and the compensation that comes with it.
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.
Most NYC personal injury cases are subject to a three-year statute of limitations. However, there are some exceptions to the law, depending on the type of claim.
If you miss the deadline, your options become very limited. Once the statute of limitations expires, so does your ability to file a lawsuit and ask for compensation. However, there can be extensions given, as recently seen with New York’s Covid-19 Executive Order. Reach out to a New York personal injury lawyer as soon as you can to ensure all applicable deadlines are met – it’s the surest way!
Possibly, but most likely not. About 90% percent of all civil lawsuits settle outside of trial. Ultimately, it depends on the nature of the case and circumstances. However, pushing forward to trial can be a great strategic move, especially if you hire an experienced litigator.
There are no upfront fees and absolutely no cost if we do not win your case. Personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless your case ensures some kind of compensation – meaning that you get a secured settlement or win a verdict at trial. The contingency fee in New York is 1/3 (or 33.33%) of what you win. Every attorney’s fee must be signed upfront, as is standard practice. At The Platta Law Firm, we’re honest and transparent about our fees, if any apply.
What happens right after any accident can set the stage for your future case. Even minor instances can easily hurt your ability to seek compensation. So, here are a few tips for what to do (and not do) after an accident:
