## Understanding Your Legal Rights in Personal Injury Cases

At The Steiner Law Firm, PLLC, we believe that an informed client is an empowered client. That’s why we prioritize educating you about your legal rights and options throughout the entire process.

As your injury attorneys, we’ll help you understand the specific laws and regulations that apply to your case, ensuring that you’re well-equipped to make informed decisions about your legal journey.

### Key Legal Considerations in Personal Injury Claims

When pursuing a personal injury claim, there are several crucial factors to consider. As experienced accident lawyers, we guide you through these considerations, which may include:

Statute of limitations: In New York, there are strict time limits for filing personal injury claims. It’s crucial to act promptly to preserve your right to seek compensation.

Comparative negligence: New York follows a “pure comparative negligence” rule, which means your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault in the accident.

Insurance negotiations: Dealing with insurance companies can be challenging. Our PI attorneys have extensive experience in negotiating with insurers to ensure you receive fair compensation.

## The Value of Specialized Legal Representation

When facing the aftermath of a personal injury, having a skilled injury lawyer on your side can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. At The Steiner Law Firm, PLLC, our team of personal injury attorneys brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, offering you the specialized representation you need to navigate the complexities of your claim.

Our PI lawyers work diligently to ensure that all aspects of your damages are thoroughly documented and accounted for in your claim. We understand the long-term impact that injuries can have on your life, and we fight to secure compensation that reflects the full extent of your losses.

## When to Seek Legal Help: Timing Is Crucial

If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, it’s crucial to seek the assistance of an accident lawyer as soon as possible. Delaying legal action can potentially jeopardize your case and limit your options for recovery. At The Steiner Law Firm, PLLC, our injury attorneys are ready to spring into action the moment you reach out to us.

There are several key reasons why prompt legal intervention is essential in personal injury cases:

Preservation of evidence: Critical evidence can disappear or deteriorate over time. The sooner you involve a personal injury law attorney, the better chance we have of collecting and preserving vital evidence to support your claim.

Witness statements: Memories fade, and witnesses may become harder to locate as time passes. Our PI attorneys can quickly gather statements while events are still fresh in witnesses’ minds.

Statute of limitations: As mentioned earlier, New York has strict deadlines for filing personal injury claims. Engaging a personal injury lawyer early ensures that all necessary legal actions are taken within the required timeframe.

### Navigating Insurance Company Tactics

Insurance companies often act quickly after an accident, attempting to settle claims for as little as possible. Without proper legal representation, you may be at a disadvantage when dealing with these tactics. Our accident attorneys are well-versed in handling insurance companies and can protect your interests from the outset.

By involving a personal injury attorney early in the process, you can avoid common pitfalls such as:

Making statements that could be used against you later

Accepting a settlement that doesn’t fully cover your damages

Missing important deadlines or failing to file necessary documentation

At The Steiner Law Firm, PLLC, our team of PI lawyers is committed to providing you with the skilled representation you need from day one. We handle all aspects of your case, allowing you to focus on your recovery while we fight for your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.

Common Questions about Personal Injury

What is personal injury law?
Personal injury law is a legal practice area that deals with cases where an individual has been physically or psychologically injured due to the negligence or wrongful conduct of another party. This can include accidents, medical malpractice, product liability, and more. In New York, personal injury laws are designed to protect victims and help them seek compensation for their losses.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in New York?
In New York, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years from the date of the injury. However, there are exceptions to this rule. For example, medical malpractice cases have a 2.5-year statute of limitations, and cases against government entities may have shorter timeframes. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure you don’t miss any important deadlines.

What types of compensation can I receive in a personal injury case?
In a New York personal injury case, you may be eligible for various types of compensation, including:

1. Medical expenses (past and future)

2. Lost wages and loss of earning capacity

3. Pain and suffering

4. Emotional distress

5. Property damage

6. Loss of enjoyment of life

7. Punitive damages (in cases of extreme negligence)

The specific compensation you may receive depends on the details of your case and the extent of your injuries.

How does New York’s “no-fault” insurance system work for car accidents?
New York follows a “no-fault” insurance system for car accidents. This means that regardless of who was at fault, your own insurance company will cover your medical expenses and lost wages up to a certain limit (typically $50,000). However, if your injuries meet the “serious injury” threshold as defined by New York law, you may be able to step outside the no-fault system and file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver for additional damages.

What is comparative negligence, and how does it affect my case?
New York follows a “pure comparative negligence” rule. This means that even if you were partially at fault for your injury, you can still recover damages. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found to be 20% at fault for an accident and your total damages are $100,000, you would be able to recover $80,000 (80% of the total damages).

Do I need a lawyer for my personal injury case?
While it’s not legally required to have a lawyer for a personal injury case, it’s highly recommended. Personal injury laws can be complex, and insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you navigate the legal process, negotiate with insurance companies, gather evidence, and ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in New York?
Most personal injury lawyers in New York, including The Steiner Law Firm, PLLC, work on a contingency fee basis. This means you don’t pay any upfront fees, and the lawyer only gets paid if they win your case. Typically, the fee is a percentage of the settlement or court award, usually around 33% to 40%. This arrangement allows injured individuals to access legal representation without worrying about out-of-pocket expenses.

What should I do immediately after an injury?
After an injury, it’s important to take the following steps:

1. Seek medical attention immediately

2. Report the incident (to police, property owner, etc.)

3. Document the scene and your injuries (take photos if possible)

4. Gather contact information from witnesses

5. Keep all medical records and receipts

6. Do not give statements to insurance companies without legal advice

7. Contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible

How long does a personal injury case typically take in New York?
The duration of a personal injury case can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Some cases may settle in a few months, while others can take a year or more. Complex cases that go to trial can sometimes take several years to resolve. Your attorney can give you a better estimate based on the specifics of your case.

What if the person who injured me doesn’t have insurance?
If the at-fault party is uninsured, you may still have options. These could include:

1. Filing a claim with your own insurance if you have uninsured motorist coverage

2. Pursuing a lawsuit directly against the at-fault party

3. Exploring whether a third party might be liable

4. Checking if you have other applicable insurance coverage

An experienced personal injury attorney can help you explore all possible avenues for compensation.

Can I still file a claim if my injury occurred on someone else’s property?
Yes, you may be able to file a premises liability claim if you were injured on someone else’s property due to their negligence. Property owners have a duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. This can apply to various situations, including slip and fall accidents, inadequate security leading to assault, or injuries from poorly maintained structures. The specific circumstances of your case will determine the viability of your claim.

What if I was injured by a defective product?
If you were injured by a defective product, you may have a product liability claim. In New York, manufacturers, distributors, and sellers can be held liable for injuries caused by defective products. These cases can involve design defects, manufacturing defects, or failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions. Product liability cases often require expert testimony and can be complex, so it’s important to work with an experienced attorney.

1. Free initial consultation to evaluate your case
