Long Island Negligence Lawyer

Personal Injury & Negligence

Negligent acts of commission or omission are the basis of a personal injury claim. When seeking compensation for an accident-related injury, the negligent aspects of the incident must be established. This includes proving that the party involved had a duty to act with a reasonable standard of care, that duty was violated, and it resulted in an accident that caused injuries. The compensation that is awarded in a personal injury case can include damages for:

• Medical care and treatment
• Lost current and future wages
• Pain
• Suffering
• Emotional trauma
• Property damage

Insurance carriers will try to avoid paying a claim whenever possible. They will use tactics to delay the processing of the claim, find reasons to reject the claim and offer you less money than the claim is worth. Representation by a knowledgeable and caring personal injury attorney can keep your case moving forward and help you seek a favorable settlement. An attorney can also pursue the matter in court if the carrier refuses to settle the case.
