What You Need to Know About The Financial Recovery Process

The evidence collection we assemble will prove the following required elements of negligence—duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages. We document these elements to prove your case meets the legal parameters of personal injury compensation.

Our Burn Injury Attorney Ensures Your Potential Lawsuit is Filed on Time
The statute of limitations is an important part of your case. State law determines the amount of time you have to file your lawsuit. The personal injury statute of limitations (New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214) and wrongful death statute of limitations (Estates, Powers & Trusts § 5-4.1) vary.
The statute also varies according to the age of the injured party and the at-fault party’s actions. The best way to ensure the state’s filing deadline is to let our burn injury attorney handle it for you. We will ensure it is accurately interpreted and filed within the allotted time.
When you act before the statute of limitations expires, we also have time to canvass the accident scene, request accident reconstruction, and interview witnesses while their memories are fresh. The sooner you contact us, the more time we have to build the strongest possible case for appropriate compensation.
