After suffering a personal injury, figuring out what to do next can be overwhelming.
A personal injury lawyer provides legal representation to individuals who suffer physical, emotional, or financial harm due to someone else’s negligence. Seeking the guidance of a dedicated New York Personal Injury Attorney can help protect your rights. It’s essential to understand the role and responsibilities of a personal injury attorney.
Dedicated Legal Representation
A personal injury attorney serves as an advocate for clients. They represent an injured party’s interests during settlement negotiations with insurance companies and in court if a case goes to trial. From the initial consultation to case resolution, they offer guidance, support, and legal advice throughout the personal injury claim process.
Your personal injury lawyer can determine liability, assess damages, and help you understand the Statute of Limitations for filing your lawsuit. New Yorkers have three years from the date of the accident to initiate a civil lawsuit. Your lawyer may advise you to seek the prescribed medical treatment, not to provide any written or oral statements to the at-fault party or their insurer, and to avoid posting details of the accident on social media.
Case Assessment And Valuation
Evaluating the viability of a personal injury case is one of the first things an attorney does. A knowledgeable personal injury attorney has experience in determining the value of your injuries and obtaining the evidence necessary to establish that value. Compensation for personal injuries must include medical and rehabilitation costs, income replacement benefits, and caregiver and attendant care expenses.

Investigations
Experienced personal injury attorneys utilize their resources to thoroughly investigate your accident. Investigations involve gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and obtaining medical records and other documentation. The investigation may also include hiring life care planners and economists to determine the impact of injuries on a victim’s life and the potential value of the claim.
Negotiations
One of the most significant responsibilities of personal injury lawyers is to negotiate with insurance companies. Personal injury lawyers are skilled negotiators who fight for your rights and work tirelessly to obtain fair compensation on your behalf. Your personal injury lawyer will use documentation such as accident reports, doctor’s notes, and other evidence to support your claim and to negotiate the highest possible settlement.
Litigation
If you reject the settlement offer of the insurance company or the insurance company denies your claim, you can file a lawsuit to take your case to court. At Gregory Spektor And Associates, our trial lawyers prepare your case for trial from the very beginning.
