Work With Professionals to Assess Your Brain Injury
You can’t pursue brain injury damages in or out of civil court until a medical professional formally diagnoses you. Emergency responders and specialists can assess the damage from a recent accident to determine if you have a traumatic brain injury and what impact that injury may have on your overall quality of life.
Traumatic brain injuries can result from blows that directly or indirectly impact your head. These injuries can have a short- or long-term impact on your brain functions and, in some cases, can permanently impact your quality of life. Severe traumatic brain injuries can even leave some people in comas.
The most common accidents to result in brain injuries include vehicular collisions, pedestrian accidents, falls, sporting accidents, and assault.
When to Call a Brooklyn Brain Injury Lawyer
Once medical professionals diagnose you or a loved one with a brain injury, it’s time to think about how you want to hold negligent parties responsible for your losses. You can do this by filing an insurance claim with a liable party’s provider or by bringing a brain injury lawsuit forward in New York’s civil courts.
Working with a Brooklyn brain injury attorney makes it easier to weigh these options against one another while also accounting for the severity of your injuries. Our team will proudly handle the legwork needed to build a case for compensation on your behalf, giving you more time to prioritize your health and well-being.
In our years serving New York accident victims, we’ve developed strategies that make it easier for victims to identify the parties liable for their losses and meet the state’s burden of proof.
When you turn to us for legal support, you can trust us to:
- Work with professional investigators to find the evidence needed to establish your right to a case
- Connect with medical professionals who can provide us with testimony and reports detailing the severity of your injuries and other losses
- Use evidence to name the right party responsible for your injuries
- File a claim for compensation with a relevant insurance company
- Fend off insurance adjusters who want to pressure you or your loved ones into accepting premature settlements
- Preserve your right to take a brain injury claim to civil court
- Negotiate for a fair settlement after calculating the economic impact a brain injury has or will have on your life
- Litigate on your behalf
We Can Speak With Insurers and Liable Parties on Your Behalf
You do not have to speak to insurance adjusters or liable parties on your own after a serious brain injury. In fact, we encourage you not to. Unfortunately, a misspoken word can compromise your case for brain injury compensation and make it easier for insurers to claim that your injuries aren’t serious.
Insurance adjusters and liable parties may also argue that your injuries didn’t result from an accident involving a liable party, or that you bear some of the responsibility for your brain injury. These efforts to misrepresent your accident can leave you wrong-footed, but you don’t have to challenge them alone.
Let our Brooklyn brain injury attorneys manage your communications with insurance adjusters and liable parties. Our oversight can keep you from falling into a trap that might compromise your right to legal action or fair financial support. It can also give you the space to focus on your health without sacrificing your right to recoverable action.
We Represent Brain Injury Clients In and Out of Civil Court
Working with our legal team doesn’t obligate you to use a cookie-cutter strategy to pursue brain injury damages. You do not have to go to trial if you would prefer to work with insurance companies to secure brain injury compensation. We are here to meet your needs and can discuss how you want to approach your fight for support.
Once we understand your goals, you can trust us to use our vast experience to see those goals met. We can work with you to understand how insurance adjusters may approach your request for support, after which we can fend off attempts to minimize your losses.
If you’d prefer to move forward with a brain injury lawsuit, we can finalize your paperwork before New York’s statute of limitations expires and then represent you in private settlement negotiations. If negotiations fall through, we’re not afraid to litigate and can prepare you to go to trial accordingly.
