How Our Long Island Forklift Accident Attorneys Win Compensation
Our experienced attorneys generally win appropriate compensation for our clients through a negotiated settlement or a verdict in civil court. We prepare the evidence and organize it in a way that tells a compelling story about why the accused party or parties are liable. Sometimes, the insurance carrier recognizes their policyholder is going to have to pay and agrees to a fair settlement before we need to sue. Otherwise, depending upon the unique facts presented by each particular case, we will sue and prepare the case for trial. Like other states, New York has a deadline for suing for injury damages. While there are different statutes of limitations for different types of cases, under New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214 is most often applicable to accident cases. Best practices would support consulting with an experienced accident lawyer to make sure exactly which statute of limitations and other deadlines apply to the specific facts of your case. Additionally, there are numerous other reasons to get started with our team even sooner. The liable parties often hold a lot of the evidence in these cases. Unless we act quickly, it could be difficult to collect and preserve video of the incident, eyewitness statements, and other key evidence to develop a compelling case.Complete a Free Case Evaluation form now
