We Represent Injured Clients on a Contingency Fee Basis

Traditional lawyer’s fees and hefty retainers might prevent an injured person from hiring legal representation in their fight to recover damages. At Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., we will represent you on a contingency fee basis. Because the fee for your case is contingent on the damages recovered for you, we are not compensated until you are. You benefit from a contingency fee because:

• It avoids a potentially costly delay in your case
• We absorb all upfront expenses related to your case
• Your post-accident financial challenges are not made worse by having to lay out legal fees

We will explain how and when the insurance company forwards compensation to us, the percentage of damages we retain, and how and when the remainder is forwarded to you. We make sure these details are clear right from the beginning of our fight for the compensation you deserve.

Proving Fault and Establishing Liability

To recover compensation for your damages, you must prove that the defendant’s negligence caused your accident. The law provides a set of criteria  for fulfilling this requirement, and it involves proving the following four statements to be true:

• The defendant owed you a duty of care to behave in a safe and responsible way.
• The defendant breached this duty.
• The defendant’s failure to uphold their duty of care caused the car accident.
• You suffered damages from the accident.

Our legal team will establish the defendant’s negligence and liability by establishing all the above statements using evidence from our law firm’s investigation.

What You Need to Know About the Statute of Limitations in Oceanside, NY

All civil lawsuits have a filing deadline imposed by the state. Called the statute of limitations, it defines how much time you have to legally pursue the at-fault party. In Oceanside, NY:

• The personal injury statute of limitations is defined by New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214
• The wrongful death statute of limitations is defined by Estates, Powers & Trusts § 5-4.1
• Depending upon the specifics of your case, a shorter statute of limitations along with other claim and lawsuit deadlines may apply.  We invite you to call us now for a thorough case review so you can be aware of applicable time limits

Complying with the statute of limitations is important. Failure to comply could mean you have no legal recourse to compel the at-fault party to compensate you. Their legal representatives are aware of the filing deadlines and will request an immediate dismissal of your case if it is filed late. Our law firm will ensure your potential lawsuit is filed on time.
