Bronx Personal Injury Lawyers
Bronx Personal Injury Information
When you are injured - whether it is because of an auto accident, workplace accident, fall or medical negligence - it is natural to feel helpless, confused and frustrated. Personal injuries cause not only emotional strain, but also severe financial strain in the form of increasing medical bills and loss of wages resulting from inability to work. The biggest concern you probably have if you have been injured is to get back to a state of normalcy.
If you have been injured as a result of someone else's negligence, the experienced Bronx personal injury lawyers of Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro & Halperin, LLP can help get victims lives back to normal. In some cases, victims may be left with lifelong disabilities. However, a skilled injury lawyer can help ensure that victims receive fair compensation for their injuries and losses, so they can move on with their lives
Victims of personal injury cases can seek compensation for the following:
- Medical expenses - All medical bills including cost of hospitalization, surgery, medication and treatment.
- Time away from work - The earnings you lost while recovering from your injuries.
- Pain and suffering - It is difficult to put a monetary value on pain, but serious injuries often cause severe pain and suffering. A skilled lawyer will help victims and their families determine the value of their claims.
- Therapy bills - Severe injuries often require repeat hospital visits and extensive therapy sessions. Settlements offered by insurance companies may not include future medical expenses so it is important to not sign any settlements until you have consulted with a Bronx personal injury attorney. Remember, once you agree to a settlement, you cannot make any future claims. Some injuries may take weeks or even months to manifest. So, it is always a good idea not to rush a settlement and wait to see how things play out.
- Funeral costs - The families of someone killed in an accident may recover losses such as funeral expenses by filing a wrongful death claim.
No amount of money can truly compensate for the pain and inconvenience suffered in a serious accident, but a Bronx personal injury attorney can assist injured victims in recovering financial losses while ensuring that their legal rights and best interests are protected.
A Bronx injury attorney can assist victims of many types of accidents. It does not matter if the injury incident was a deliberate crime or a preventable accident. Either way, injured victims would be well advised to consult with a Bronx NY personal injury lawyer who has the experience and tenacity to hold the negligent party accountable for their actions.
There are limits on when you can file a personal injury claim. Depending on the incident, you may have as little as one year to file a claim. After the statute of limitations is up, you can no longer sue for civil damages.
