Many people don’t realize how much a serious injury can disrupt everyday life until they have experienced it themselves. It can be overwhelming when you realize that, as you are physically healing, you will also need to decide how to pay for medical expenses on top of regular bills – especially if the injury is serious enough that you can’t return to work either temporarily or permanently. What adds additional frustration is knowing that you would never have been injured if someone else hadn’t behaved negligently.
Personal injury lawsuits cover all categories of accidents, including car crashes, scaffolding injuries, construction accidents, slip and fall, and medical malpractice. The law which applies to these cases is very complex and addresses issues of liability, safety regulations, structural engineering, and the losses suffered by the plaintiff. Our experienced White Plains personal injury lawyers have assisted thousands of clients and are dedicated to ensuring that victims get the compensation they desperately need.
Every personal injury case is unique, and there is no way to predict how long a case will take to settle. Some cases have the potential to be settled within weeks, but other cases could take years to reach a resolution, whether through settlement or trial.
If you have suffered an injury due to the carelessness (negligence) of another party, it is very possible that you have a viable personal injury case against the wrongdoer(s). However, the only way to know for certain is to contact a personal injury lawyer to discuss the matters surrounding your individual case.
Your health and safety should always come first, so prioritize the pursuit of medical attention. After consulting with a medical professional and attending to your medical needs, you should contact a personal injury attorney. The sooner you are able to get in touch with an attorney, the sooner your attorney will be able to begin protecting your interests and building a strategy for your case.
At Lever & Ecker, PLLC, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we receive compensation for our work only if we obtain a monetary recovery for our clients, whether through settlement or at trial.
