What Your Hicksville Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer Will Do for You
With one of our dedicated lawyers representing you, you will not have to do anything other than focus on your healing. Once we have access to your medical records and other information about your damages, your Hicksville personal injury lawyer will work on every detail of your case.
Building and successfully resolving a spinal cord injury case typically calls for tremendous attention to a great number of case details, including the following:
Staying in Touch With Our Hicksville Clients
Our legal team understands that you have a lot to worry about, from receiving medical care to rebuilding your life. We will guide you through your case from beginning to end, keeping you updated on what we are doing and what decisions you have to make along the way.
Please rest assured, the tone of our communication with you as your case advances will always be patient and supportive. We will listen to you and make certain we understand what is important to you.
When we ask you for a decision, we will first provide the best available relevant information, and we will, whenever possible, give you our opinion as to the course of action that we believe is in your best interest.
Identifying Who Caused Your SCI
Your lawyer will look into who is responsible for your accident and who is responsible for your damages. A single party might or might not be responsible for both. For example, if an employee with the Nassau County Department of Public Works (DPW) contributed to your accident, the government, not the employee, might be accountable for your damages.
Regardless, our spine injury attorneys will identify the liable party or parties and work tirelessly to build the strongest possible case against them on your behalf.
Communicating With Others Involved in Your Injury Case
The most complicated step in your case could be negotiating with the insurer, especially if they resort to various tactics to try to devalue your damages and diminish your case. However, your spinal cord injury lawyer from our law firm will know how to handle such tactics.
Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., will also maintain contact with other parties, such as the court.
Collecting Evidence for Your SCI Case
Our legal team will find evidence of the other party’s liability for the accident and your injuries. This evidence could come from any number of sources, such as a witness or the Nassau County Police Department.
Your lawyer will also find evidence and proof of your damages, which could come from your doctor, an accident reconstruction expert, income records, or some other relevant source of supporting evidence.
Valuing Your Personal Injury Case
SCIs are often catastrophic, meaning that victims are often able to recover a wide range of damages.
Your Hicksville attorney will attribute appropriate monetary values to your intangible damages, including your physical, mental, and emotional damages. This will indicate to the at-fault party’s insurance company that these damages are, in fact, legitimate and serious.
We must also add the value of your intangible damages to your financial damages. The final number will be the overall possible settlement range of your case.
Suing the Party Responsible for Your Spine Injury
If the insurer fails to make an appropriate offer, our spinal cord attorneys will be prepared to commence a personal injury lawsuit and present your case to a judge and jury at trial. Knowing that we are ready, willing, and able to take the case to trial exerts pressure on the insurance company to improve its offer.
Under New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214, we have a limited time to sue for spinal cord injuries, so act quickly after your accident, just in case this becomes necessary. (It is also very important to note that a shorter statute of limitations may apply to your situation, depending upon the circumstances of your case.
It is best to take advantage of a free case review with our firm so that you know exactly what deadlines you are facing and what your best options for legal action are.)
