FAQ (Click on a topic below to see your answer):
Why should I choose your law firm?
As experienced New York City trial attorneys we have successfully litigated hundreds, if not thousands of cases. We take your case because we believe we can win.
Do I have a case?
The viability of your case depends on three factors: liability, damages, and how much insurance coverage is available on your case. Liability depends upon whether the responsibility lies with the defendant, you, or with potential third parties. The damages consist of your harms and losses, including your physical injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and property losses.
How much compensation do you receive?
There are no legal fees, unless we are successful. We do not get paid unless your case is a success. If successfully prosecuted, our law firm is generally entitled to one-third of your compensation under New York State law. We will scrutinize and evaluate the facts of your case to determine the probability of success and the total amount of compensation your case merits. Our financial incentives are aligned with and predicated on the success of your case.
What fees will I be charged?
You will be responsible for costs incurred during the case. Some typical costs include court fees, examination before trial transcripts, expert fees, etc.
How long will the process take?
It is impossible to predict exactly how long a case will take before we have evaluated it. Generally, if a case goes to trial, it can take between three to five years. Other cases may reach a settlement in under a year. We prepare all of our cases as if they were going to trial in order to maximize your compensation.
