Have a law-related question? We have the answer! Check out our FAQs below to learn more about our company and services.

  • How much is the fee?

    We're hardworking and caring injury lawyers, and we ensure that you only have to pay if we win your case. Contact us so that we can discuss the specifics of your case.

  • What should I do after an accident?

    If you've been injured in an accident, get a police report and seek medical attention immediately. Then contact a personal injury attorney. Don't give any statements out to the other parties' insurance company before speaking with an attorney.

  • Will my lawyer travel to me if I'm in the hospital?

    Absolutely. If you've experienced personal injury and are in the hospital, we will travel to you. We cover all jurisdictions. Call us if you have additional questions.

  • How long do I have to file a personal injury case?

    In the State of New York, the statute of limitations is 3 years for personal injury cases. However, we urge you to speak to a lawyer immediately to verify how much time you have because it can vary depending on the case.

  • How long does a personal injury case take?

    It varies! Generally, a personal injury case can last several years. This is, however, dependant on the type of case and where the case takes place. 

  • Will I be taxed on my personal injury settlement?

    We know your rights when it comes to compensation. Compensation for personal injury cases is not taxable. It does not matter if you went to trial and won. You cannot be taxed by the government or your state.

  • Can cases settle without going to trial?

    Definitely. Cases settle about 90% of the time. That being said, there can be instances you will need to go to trial. If this happens, seek experienced personal injury lawyers to handle your case. Visit our "Results" page to see some examples of our recent settlements.

  • What if I was partly at fault for the accident?

    It is a jury's job to decide who is or is not at fault. Whether you or another party experienced personal injury or damaged vehicles, you need to hire an accomplished trial lawyer to defend your case.

  • Is my conversation with my lawyer confidential?

    Whether you're hiring us for a personal injury case or a criminal law case, your lawyer cannot speak to anyone about conversations you have with them. It's attorney-client privilege that preserves confidentiality.

  • Do I have to go to court every day/week/month?

    No, you do not. Your injury lawyers will go to court for all conferences and take care of everything for you. We will also file all papers for you.
