Types of Injury Cases our Attorneys Handle

How Brooklyn Injury Attorneys Help
As injury attorneys, it’s our job to build your case and represent your interests. At Shaevitz & Shaevitz, we do just that!
After receiving medical attention for your accident, it’s time to contact injury attorneys. From there, we will assess your case and gather any information that will help us represent you in court or in settlement negotiations. This may include witness statements, police reports, surveillance footage, and even expert testimonies. Depending on the nature of your case, we will likely need to determine who is at fault for your injuries and if you share any of the blame.
Fortunately, New York State operates under the comparative fault rule, which means that more than one person may be responsible for your accident. Even if you are partially responsible, you’re still eligible for any no-fault benefits and additional compensation, just at a reduced rate!
Additionally, as your injury attorneys, we will help you file any claims or paperwork (like a no-fault claim or notice of injury) within the statute of limitations. Then, we will negotiate with any insurance companies on your behalf, protecting your compensation from their minimizing tactics. In most cases, insurance agents try to minimize your payout because it saves their company money. With our legal expertise, we help navigate these conversations to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
If the insurance company fails to come to an agreement, we are ready and willing to represent your interests in court!
Learn If You’re Eligible for Further Compensation
In New York State, your injuries must surpass the serious injury threshold to qualify for additional compensation. This claim is separate from any no-fault claims or workers’ compensation claims. Instead, we will help you file your personal injury lawsuit against the party responsible for your injuries to recover compensation for non-economic losses.
The serious injury threshold includes:
- Death
- Disfigurement
- Dismemberment
- Loss of a fetus
- Permanent loss of an organ, function, or system
- Permanent limitation in the use of an organ, system, or body part
- Significant restriction in the use of a system or body part
- A diagnosed injury or impairment preventing someone from doing “usual” daily activities for at least 90 days during the 180 days following the accident.
If you believe you may surpass the serious injury threshold, contact Shaevitz & Shaevitz immediately.
