Your Lawyer Can Help You by Properly Filing an Insurance Claim
After determining who is liable for your injuries, your attorney will place a just value for your losses and file an insurance claim with the responsible party’s insurance company. We will then negotiate with the insurance company to get you the compensation you deserve.
On your own, an insurance company may:
- Delay processing your claim and responding to requests for information about your case
- Not acknowledge receipt of medical records or delay evaluation of them for months
- Put pressure on you to settle the case before all the evidence is collected, so they don’t have to pay out as much as they would otherwise
With decades of experience representing injured New York construction workers and their families, Friedman & Simon L.L.P. in New York can represent you in your fight back against these practices.
You Have a Limited Amount of Time to File a Lawsuit
According to New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214, if you or someone you love suffers an injury at a construction site in New York, you have three years from the date the accident occurred to file a lawsuit against the negligent party.
If you can’t reach a settlement with the insurance company and you decide to file a lawsuit, you must do so within the time limit allowed by law. If this time limit expires, any compensation you are entitled to may be lost.
Three years may seem like enough time, and it is. However, it takes time to gather evidence and build your case. That’s why it’s crucial to begin the process immediately after your accident. The sooner you reach out to us the greater our opportunity to build the strongest case possible on your behalf. Your lawyer will also make sure all deadlines are met so you don’t lose your right to compensation.

“They did all they could do for me, and I feel that I was in very good hands. When I had my accident, Roger and Eddie stepped up and took care of the problems. You have to understand that when you have been injured that it takes time to deal with the insurance companies. They and the ladies in the firm will take very good care of you. They will explain it all to you, so you know what is coming. They made a bad time in my life as good as it could have been. Thanks, team. – Andrew
“I was astonished at how hard he fought for me to get my life back financially. Mr. Friedman wasn’t just my lawyer. He was a very concerned and a very caring person. He made sure I was in good hands.
