DIFFERENT PERSONAL INJURY CASES, WE ACCEPT
Davidoff Law has an eclectic team of New York City personal injury lawyers. We have taken the time to become highly familiar with all sorts of different personal injury case types, especially those that occur the most.
As a potential client, you do not have to worry about whether or not we have the know-how needed to work on your case. Thanks to our backgrounds and collective legal knowledge, you can trust that we can handle anything that comes your way. Even if a major insurance company represents the opposing party, we will be ready to protect your best interests.
Car Accidents
Auto accidents are one of the most common causes of preventable injuries in New York, including here in New York City.
If you were hit by a distracted, drunk, or reckless driver on the streets of NYC, let our law firm know right away. We can help you explore your legal options, such as using personal injury protection (PIP) insurance provided by your auto insurance company.
Truck Accidents
Commercial truck accidents are usually devastating because the truck is much larger and heavier than the other vehicle. We can help manage your claim and pursue the most compensation, which could be significant if your injuries are catastrophic or permanent.
Motorcycle Accidents
Were you riding your motorcycle when a motorist ran into you or chased you off the road? You deserve compensation to get you back on your feet without draining your bank account. Allow us to manage your claim so you can care for yourself and your health without getting bogged down in legal procedures.
Slip-and-Fall Accidents
A slip-and-fall accident might not seem like a big deal at first, but such accidents are extremely dangerous, especially to elders and people with pre-existing injuries. We can research your slip-and-fall accident to see who is liable for it.
Often, the property owner on which the accident occurred is liable. For example, we can file against a retail store, commercial property manager, or neighbor.
Catastrophic Injuries
Life-changing injuries will call for a life-changing amount of compensation, but securing that amount will not be easy. Insurance companies do not like to pay large amounts to claimants.
If you were catastrophically injured – such as a brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, etc. – then you should prepare for a tough fight against an opposition that does not want your case to succeed by any means.
Wrongful Death Claims
After losing a loved one in an accident, you might feel paralyzed with grief. It will help if you take the time to grieve and heal. You also need to consider starting a wrongful death claim if you want justice and fair compensation. We can take care of your wrongful death claim so you do not feel even more overwhelmed.
COMPENSATION YOU ARE OWED
You deserve justice and a sense of closure after being in a bad accident that left you or a loved one seriously injured. You also deserve fair compensation to help you get back on your feet and avoid a financial downfall directly caused by the aftermath of your injury.
Indeed, the objective of a personal injury case is to ensure that you are financially compensated first and foremost. The other benefits of a successful claim usually come naturally after the compensation is secured.
When our New York City personal injury attorneys are on the job, you can depend on us to fully calculate the damages the liable party or defendant should provide you. Suppose the extent of your damages and losses are too much for a single insurance policy held by the defendant.
In that case, we can look into filing against more than one policy, which is made easier thanks to our extensive practice experience. Clients and other law firms know us as a legal team that only slows down once every last penny owed is secured through a settlement or a court award.
Medical Bills
In a medical malpractice claim, the most significant economic damage owed to the claimant often relates to their medical costs.
Everything from emergency medical attention and hospitalization to specialized surgeries and prescription medications should be paid for by the liable party and their insurance, not the claimant. Importantly, your future medical costs, not just those you have already incurred, should be covered.
Lost Wages
Did you lose weeks or months of work because your injuries kept you from clocking in? In your personal injury claim, we can pursue damages related to the wages that you never earned.
Even if you received partial wages through disability benefits, you can seek whatever was not provided. We can also sue for the future income you cannot earn due to a lasting disability that has changed the trajectory of your career.
Permanent Disabilities
Most injury cases we handle involve clients with permanent or life-changing injuries. If you suffered a severe injury that caused a permanent disability, you can seek additional damages related to the hardships and costs caused specifically by that disability.
For example, if you need to install a motorized lift along your home's staircase, the liable party should pay for it.
Pain and Suffering
The physical pain, mental anguish, and emotional suffering you have endured due to your injuries can be translated into a financial award in anl injury claim in New York. When such abstract concepts are turned into a monetary recovery, it is called non-economic damage. Non-economic damages are not unusual in exceeding economic damages in a serious injury claim.
WAYS OUR ATTORNEYS CAN HELP YOU
Our clients know Davidoff Law as strong legal allies, genuine moral supporters, and friends. During the difficult days following an accident, you will have so much on your plate.
It would be our honor to help relieve your burden by taking care of every step needed for your claim to advance. We do mean every step, too. If you want, you can leave your entire claim to our team from start to finish.
To name a few of the ways that we can help build your case:
- Investigation: Every strong personal injury claim begins with an equally strong investigation into the circumstances of the accident and its outcome. With decades of collective legal experience, we know how to investigate even the most intricate cases.
- Evidence analysis: Once we have found evidence through our investigation, we must find the best way to use it. Carefully analyzing the available evidence will allow us to position it correctly in your case to do the most damage to the opposition's arguments. If the opposition knows that our evidence will be too much to overcome, we can convince them to settle early.
- Third-party assistance: Another great way to bolster your claim's validity is to contact a third-party expert. For example, we can work with medical experts who can testify to the severity of your injuries and how they will impact you for the rest of your life, even in minor ways.
- Filing a claim: Upon completing the first stages of your claim, it is time for our team to file it on your behalf. We can identify the correct defendants and relevant insurance policies and file your case at the correct court. All the while, you can continue to focus on your health and rest.
- Negotiating a settlement: If your claim is well-organized and backed by a professional team of attorneys like ours, then the liable party and their insurer might realize they will lose if it goes to court.
In such a situation, negotiating a settlement in a conference room might be possible. We will not make you sign any settlement offer you do not believe is fair or enough. We are here to make sure you get the right amount. We can handle everything from car accidents to some forms of medical malpractice. Let us negotiate settlements for your personal injury. - Litigating in court: Sometimes, insurance companies do not want to admit that their policyholder did anything wrong and are willing to go to court for it. The good news for you is that we are also willing to litigate, if that is what must be done. A trial does not scare off our NYC personal injury attorneys. Let us help you seek compensation.
