Frequently Asked Questions

Q : How Much Does It Cost To Hire A Personal Injury Attorney In New York?

A : You won’t have to pay any money out of pocket to hire attorney Brian Elbaum. If he believes you have a strong, winnable case, he’ll collect a portion of your damages only after you win.

Q : How Do I Know If My Lawsuit Will Hold Up In Court?

A : Brian Elbaum will listen to the background of your injury, request medical records, and determine if your case will hold up in court. If you’ve been injured because of someone else’s negligence, call for a free initial consultation as soon as possible.

Q : How Long Do I Have To File A Claim?

A : If you are filing a personal injury claim against a city or town within the state of New York, you have 90 days to file a claim. If your claim is against a property owner or other party, you have three years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. Having said that, getting in touch with an attorney as soon as possible after your injury is always best and will help protect and strengthen your claim.

Q : Can I File A Claim If I Was Partly At Fault?

A : Yes, you can. New York is a “pure comparative negligence” state, meaning that you can still recover even if you shared responsibility for your injury. However, your damages will be reduced by the percentage of fault you share.

For example, let’s say your damages are worth $100,000. If you were 30% at fault for your injuries, you can collect $70,000 in damages (or 30% less). If you were 90% at fault, you can collect $10,000 in damages (or 90% less).

Q : How Long Does It Take To Resolve A Claim?

A : It depends upon the complexity of your claim and on how willing those responsible are to settle for a reasonable amount. Some claims can be resolved in as little as three months, while others can take a year or more to resolve.

Q : Should I Accept The Insurance Settlement Offer?

A : No! The vast majority of the time, an insurance company’s initial offer will not be anywhere near enough to cover your long-term medical costs, lost wages, or pain and suffering. And once you accept their initial offer, you lose your chances to request more compensation later.

Never accept an initial offer from an insurance company. Allow your attorney to handle these conversations and negotiations for you, to help you get the compensation you truly deserve.
