NYC PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER

Whether your injuries are from a motorcycle accident, train and subway accident, or construction incident, your NYC personal injury lawyer becomes your biggest legal resource and a major source of support.

Representation in these cases involves much more than filing documents with the court or answering emails. At the Law Office of David S. Leigh P.C., we provide comprehensive and robust legal services that support clients through every stage of a personal injury case.

When you hire our NYC-based law firm, your lawyer will handle all aspects of your lawsuit, including:

• Complete all necessary paperwork on time and accurately;
• Handle due diligence and the collection of information on your accident;
• Track deadlines, conferences, and court hearings for your case;
• Negotiate with insurers and explain the role of insurance companies in your claim;
• Provide you with a better understanding of the law and the outcome of your case;
• Contact expert witnesses to provide evidence or testify in your case; and
• Advise on options for alternative dispute resolution, settlement, and going to trial.

It is also an NYC personal injury lawyer’s familiarity with the law, experience with NYC courts, and network of expert witnesses and other professionals that can make a difference in your case.

At the Law Office of David S. Leigh P.C., we are with you every step of an NYC personal injury claim. It is also the job of your NYC accident lawyer to explain and communicate each and every step of the legal process. We help you navigate:

• The courts;
• Communication with the opposing party;
• Medical records;
• Collection of evidence; and  
• Insurance claims.

While your case could take a very different direction because of individual circumstances or responses by the at-fault party, you can anticipate these steps after hiring an NYC personal injury lawyer:

1. Collect medical records: Your lawyer, and eventually the court, will need to review and verify the cost of your medical treatment. You will need to obtain medical bills, charts, and even doctor’s notes or assessments when these are important to confirming the cause of your injuries.
2. Obtain eyewitness statements: If someone else saw your construction accident, vehicle collisions, or pedestrian accident, there needs to be a record of what the individual saw. The sooner that record is made and assessed by your NYC personal injury lawyer, the better. Memory can become skewed or unreliable soon after an accident or injury.
3. Make your own record of the accident: You may be called to testify or recount an accident or injury, particularly if there is doubt or discrepancy to the opposing party’s negligence. You want to write down your version of events very soon after the accident.
4. Calculate your costs and losses for a claim: Your NYC personal injury lawyer will want to understand the full scope of your damages from a personal injury. These damages include both economic costs, such as medical bills and physical therapy, and non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering.
5. Develop a strategy for your case: Once sufficient evidence is collected, an NYC personal injury lawyer begins assembling a coherent case against the at-fault party. Putting together a legal strategy requires substantial information about you, as an individual and the circumstances of your accident, and the financial implications of a personal injury.

To file and build an NYC personal injury claim requires specific skill, knowledge and legal training. As a professional with the necessary experience in personal injury cases, an NYC lawyer greatly improves your chances of a full and efficient recovery.

An NYC lawyer gives you certainty over your personal injury claim. When it comes to fully understanding a personal injury case in NYC, ask yourself these questions:

• Are you certain you calculated all costs related to your personal injury?
• Are you certain you named all negligent parties in a lawsuit and named them correctly?
• Are you certain you would file your claim with the right court in NYC?
• Are you certain you correctly completed all paperwork for your personal injury claim?
• Are you certain you provided the right response to the opposing party and insurance adjuster on your personal injury claim?
• Are you certain you will recover the damages and losses you deserve after a personal injury in NYC?
