How to Know If You Have a Personal Injury Case

If you were injured in an accident that was someone else’s fault, you may be entitled to compensation. Of course, proving that another person was liable for the accident and your injuries is difficult.

To have a personal injury case, you must be able to demonstrate:

The at-fault party owed you a duty of care
The at-fault party failed to uphold their duty of care
Their failure caused your injuries
You suffered damages because of your injuries

These things are complicated to prove. However, a skilled attorney like ours will be up for the challenge. Contact us if you have questions about your case and whether you can pursue an injury claim or a lawsuit. We would gladly schedule a time for you to speak with our Staten Island personal injury lawyer.

The Personal Injury Statute of Limitations in New York & New Jersey

The statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits in New York is three years from the date of an accident. If you were under 18 at the time of the accident, you have three years from your 18th birthday to file a lawsuit.

The statute of limitations for personal injury cases differs from wrongful death claims in New York. Surviving family members or estate representatives have two years from a person’s death to make a wrongful death claim.

In New Jersey, you have two years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. For wrongful death claims, the Garden State’s statute of limitations is also two years.

Meet Our Attorneys Dedicated Advocates You Can Trust

Serving New York and New Jersey since 1998, our team has successfully defended countless individuals' driving rights and fought for fair compensation for the injured.

What Is the Average Personal Injury Settlement?

Every accident and injury case is different. The value of yours will depend on the severity of your injuries and the damages you incurred.

You may receive compensation for:

Medical bills
Lost wages
A lower earning capacity
Property damage
Pain and suffering
A decrease in quality of life

It is important to note the at-fault party’s insurance company will likely try to minimize the amount they pay you or even deny a claim altogether. Before you accept an insurance settlement or engage with an insurance company’s adjuster, consult an attorney.

Why Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

While it is possible to navigate a personal injury case on your own, doing so is not the best option. This area of law is complicated, and the stakes are high. Putting your case in the hands of an experienced, qualified attorney can improve your chances of holding the responsible party accountable and getting the compensation you deserve.

Additionally, hiring a personal injury lawyer like ours can benefit you in the following ways:

Counsel backed by experience: Our attorney has handled cases like yours. He can use his wealth of experience to develop and implement a personalized strategy.
Advocacy during negotiations: Most accident injury cases are settled outside of court in negotiations with insurance companies. You can count on our lawyer to stick up for you and fight to get the maximum possible compensation.
Objective advice in crucial moments: Making wise decisions in stressful moments can be difficult. You can lean on our attorney for objective advice when emotions get high.
Time savings: Handling a personal injury case alone can be time-consuming, especially if you have little knowledge of the legal system. Hiring a personal injury lawyer frees up your time so you can focus on recovering from your injuries.

Seeking the help of our Staten Island personal injury attorney is a decision you will be glad you made. Schedule a free consultation today to discuss your situation.

Hired Helene Mark’s office from the start. I could not be happier. Will never hire anyone else & tell anyone I know to look no further in finding someone to defend against their traffic tickets! Both dismissed.
