A Personal Injury Lawyer From Our Team Will Fight for Damages from Your Accident
The level of compensation you receive is largely dependent on the type of injuries you suffered, the duration of those injuries, how much you have incurred in medical expenses, and whether or not the injuries have prevented you from working.
Our legal team will look into the types of damages you suffered in your accident in New Cassel, then calculate their value. These damages figures will determine how much compensation we should demand when negotiating with the liable party’s legal representatives.
There are many types of damages that entitle plaintiffs to financial compensation, such as:
- Medical treatment expenses you are facing
- Medical treatment expenses you could face in the future, depending on your treatment plan
- Income you lost while recovering from your injuries
- Income you could lose because your injuries are ongoing and might even be permanent
- Pain and suffering you endured because of the accident
- Reductions in your earning potential due to your injuries
- Damages related to having to live with a long-term or permanent disability, loss of bodily function, or significant change in your physical appearance (e.g., scarring)
You could be entitled to other damages not listed here based on how the accident affected you. For example, if you suffered psychological trauma from the accident, you might be able to claim “emotional distress,” which encompasses, among other consequences, depression, anxiety, and insomnia caused by a stressful event.
If the Injured Victim Is Not Present to Pursue Compensation
If your loved one passed away because of their accident-related injuries, we offer you our heartfelt condolences. You could seek to recover damages through a wrongful death lawsuit. This type of civil action allows plaintiffs to pursue additional damages related to their loved ones’ deaths, such as:
- Funeral arrangement costs
- Burial or cremation costs
- Loss of consortium (The special types of harm, recognized by law, that a person experiences when their spouse suffers a wrongful death.)
- Loss of financial support
- Loss of parental guidance (for surviving children)
- Loss of companionship (for surviving spouses)
Our hearts go out to you, as coping with a loved one’s unexpected loss is overwhelming. We want you to know that our team is here to handle all the legal tasks in building your case for you. Rather than try to balance legal obligations with personal matters, you could hire our team to do the hard work for you and gain some peace of mind.

Our duty to you as our client could involve:

- Creating the case argument and presenting it to the insurance company or judge

Regarding legal deadlines, our legal team will identify how long you have to file the case. New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214 generally sets the legal parameters for personal injury cases.

Other laws govern statutes of limitations as well and claims and lawsuits are subject to numerous time-limiting rules too.

Components of a Personal Injury Case
For a personal injury claim to be successful, the following criteria must have been present:
- The at-fault party owed you a duty of care: A “duty of care” generally involves a duty to keep others from harm. For example, a driver owes a duty of care to other drivers on the road. They must follow road rules and use reasonable care when driving.
- The at-fault party breached his duty of care: Continuing the example above, if the driver was texting while driving, they could be held liable for an accident because they breached their duty of care to follow road rules.
- The at-fault driver’s breach of duty caused an accident, and you suffered actual damages as a result: We must be able to connect how the at-fault or liable party’s actions or inactions caused the accident that led to your injuries. Here, we will list the damages you suffered.
At Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., we will help you determine liability, prove negligence, and negotiate with the insurance companies to potentially secure a settlement. If the insurance companies are unwilling to offer an acceptable settlement, depending upon the unique circumstances of your accident, we will take the case to court.
