Compassionate And Experienced: Personal Injury Attorneys Dedicated To Protecting Your Interests

Many of us drive on highways or other roadways every day and often see billboard advertisements for personal injury attorneys who promise big results. However, it’s important to know that hiring a billboard attorney with a prominent face and a big advertising budget doesn’t always equate to meaningful representation or guaranteed lofty results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases

When it comes time to take the first step after a personal injury, more often than not, that first step is asking questions. At The Brenna Law Firm, we have the answers you need to get started and have confidence, and while your specific case will have some unique factors, your first questions will likely be much more general such as:

How much time do I have to file a personal injury claim in New York?

The statute of limitations in New York is generally three years for an injury, which isn’t as much time as you may think. This time can also vary depending on the specific nature of your case, so it is important to consult with an attorney as soon as you can if you have suffered an injury. Filing a claim in court will require you to understand that it’s a necessary step. But most people believe going to court for anything is a worst-case scenario and never think to try that.

Insurance companies count on that. They look at a person’s reluctance to take that step and offer them the barest minimum of compensation. But the reality is, you likely need a lot more than what the insurance company will offer, and to get them to raise their offer, you need to be willing to take the step of filing a lawsuit. Delaying that will only play into the insurance company’s hands.

What types of compensation are available in personal injury cases?

In any personal injury case, you’ll suffer two types of damages that you can pursue in a personal injury case. The first type of damages is economic damages, which are:

• Hospital bills
• Physical therapy
• Medications
• Mobility aids
• Wage replacement

Any tangible monetary loss counts as economic damage. However, there are less monetarily tangible losses that you suffer after an accident, from the mental anguish and stress of the recovery to any ongoing psychological damage. Those pains don’t have a specific corollary to a bill that you can show in court. There’s no equation for this kind of suffering. But you can still pursue compensation for it.

Do I need to go to court for my personal injury case?

You may, but it is not always necessary. If your case goes to trial and things end up before a judge, your attorney can represent you there, but you will likely need to be present. However, litigation and trials are only one piece of a personal injury case. You will go to the negotiation table, and personal injury cases end in negotiated settlements far more often than in a verdict.
