Aggressive Legal Representation for Personal Injury Claims in NYC

An unexpected injury can turn your world upside down and make you wonder how you can cope with this sudden life change. Beyond the initial shock and immediate pain, the real costs of a personal injury add up over time and for a lifetime:

Medical expenses
Hospital bills
Lost income due to missed work
Rehabilitation or therapy
Ongoing pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Property damage
And more.

Too often, victims enter into a hasty settlement agreement with an insurance company after an accident. That’s almost always a mistake. Here’s why:

Insurance companies don’t represent your best interests. It’s just the opposite, in fact. They’re only looking out for themselves – and their customers – first.
Settlement offers from insurers are almost always “lowball” (in other words, they offer much less than the victim deserves).
These settlement offers, once signed, mean that’s all you get, and you cannot take any future action.
Many injuries can take weeks or even months to appear. Where does that leave you if you took the quick money and signed the release?
Bills can pile up slowly. Your accident might look like a low-cost incident now. But the reality could be different in a few months. And if you’ve already settled, chances are you will have to eat those losses yourself.
You can hire our personal injury lawyers without paying any money up front. We won’t charge you unless (and until) we get you money.
