What Compensation Can You Recover After a Personal Injury?
A personal injury claim is designed to make you whole financially and to address the potential lasting impact of an injury. Depending on the facts of your case, you may be able to recover:
- Medical expenses and ongoing treatment costs
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Long-term disability or impairment
- Wrongful death damages in fatal cases
Insurance companies routinely work to minimize their payouts. They may dispute liability, question the severity of your injuries, or make a lowball offer hoping you’ll accept it before you hire a lawyer. We have the know-how and determination to level the playing field. If the insurer refuses to offer a fair settlement, we will take your case to court.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims
How much is my personal injury case worth?
Each case is different. The value of a claim depends on factors such as the severity of the injury, medical costs, lost income, long-term limitations, and available insurance coverage. A full evaluation considers both current losses and the potential future impact of the injury.
Can you sue a city or government entity for a personal injury?
In some situations, you may be able to bring a claim against a city, town, or other public entity in New York. These claims often involve specific procedures and deadlines, such as filing a notice of claim. Because those requirements can affect your ability to proceed, early evaluation is important.
How long do you have to file a personal injury claim in New York?
In most cases, New York law allows three years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, shorter deadlines may apply in certain situations, especially if the claim involves a city, town, or other public entity. Because these deadlines can affect your ability to recover compensation, it is important to file a claim as soon as possible.
What should you do after an accident to protect your claim?
After an accident, seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if injuries are not immediately apparent. If you are able, document the scene, gather contact information from witnesses, and keep records of treatment and expenses. Avoid discussing fault or giving recorded statements to insurance companies before speaking with an attorney.
