Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical timeframe for a personal injury case?

The duration of a personal injury case can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the case. While some cases can settle in a matter of months, others may take a year or more. Our firm works diligently to move each case forward as efficiently as possible.

How is the value of my case determined? 

The value of a personal injury case is determined by calculating both economic and non-economic damages. We work with medical and financial experts to build a comprehensive picture of your losses.

Can I still file a claim if I was partially at fault for the accident? 

Yes. New York is a "pure comparative negligence" state. This means you can still recover compensation even if you are found to be partially at fault for the accident. However, your total compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
