We Will Seek Economic and Non-Economic Brain Injury Damages on Your Behalf
To ensure all losses are considered properly, damages are typically split up into categories referred to as economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages account for all of your financial losses, while non-economic damages cover the intangible ways your injuries have affected your life.
Traumatic brain injuries are known for being particularly devastating. We believe that it is essential to have all your costs covered by the liable party so that you can begin rebuilding your life. We are 100% committed to achieving that result for you. Examples of both economic damages and non-economic damages that could be paid out in a Long Island brain injury case include:
- Loss of income and other employee benefits
- Existing and future healthcare costs
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Costs of home health care and medical equipment
- Psychological trauma, emotional distress, and mental anguish
- Physical pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium (These are the types of damages recognized by law that a person experiences when their spouse suffers a personal injury.)
- Personal property damages
If you want to learn more about how much your brain injury case is worth, Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. is here for you. We will review every loss in-depth to ensure you are appropriately compensated for your damages.

You Will Not Owe Us Any Fees Until Your Brain Injury Case Is Settled
When your injuries have made it impossible for you to live your life normally, figuring out how you will make the liable party pay is critical. However, when funds are limited, you could be worried that you will not be able to afford the costs of hiring a lawyer.
That’s why Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. offers free consultations and contingency-fee agreements.
Our initial meeting with you is free of charge and without any obligation whatsoever. We will patiently and comprehensively discuss the details of your case with you and present your options for moving forward.
We work with you on a contingency fee basis, so you do not have to put a retainer down to secure legal services. We will cover all the costs of taking on your case and absorb the risk of pursuing it.
You only have to pay attorney’s fees if we win. The fees we receive will not come out of your own pocket. Instead, we will collect a percentage of your compensation as our fee.
Deadlines for Filing Brain Injury Lawsuits on Long Island Could Impact Your Case
Time is limited to get your case filed. According to New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214, you have three years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit against the liable party. If you miss the deadline, you could lose your legal right to compensation. (It is important to note that a shorter statute of limitations may apply to your case. For this and other reasons, we suggest you call us for a free, no-obligation case review. We will let you know what deadlines apply to your case and lay out your various options for taking legal action to recover your damages.)
The sooner we get started on your cases, the more likely it is we will be able to gather all the evidence we need to build the strongest possible case and show that the at-fault party is responsible for your traumatic brain injury damages.
