The legal process of a personal injury matter is complex but a very brief outline is as follows:

• Summons and Complaint (the Lawsuit is filed)
• Answer (Defendant’s Insurance Company submits a written Answer to the Complaint)
• Preliminary Conference (meeting with the judge to set up a scheduling Order)
• Written Discovery Exchanged (medical records, accident reports, employment records, etc.)

Depositions – Question and Answer sessions with all parties to the case. The key issues in an Accident or Injury case are 1) Liability: Who is at fault 2) Damages: Proof of Medical Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Economic Damages

Note of Issue (certifying all discovery has been completed and the case is trial-ready)

Trial (selecting a jury – voir dire. Commencing the trial before a judge and jury)

Our firm prepares our clients thoroughly. At trial, we offer the strongest possible presentation of liability and damages so that the jury will return a verdict awarding maximum compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in NYC

What is the legal process for a personal injury matter?

Resolving a personal injury matter takes several steps:

1. First, your attorney must file the Summons & Complaint (the lawsuit).
2. Next, the defendant’s insurance company submits a written Answer to the Complaint.
3. After that, there is a Preliminary Conference. This is a meeting with the judge to set up a scheduling Order.
4. The Exchange of Written Discovery takes place next. Written Discovery may include medical records, accident reports, and employment records, in addition to other relevant documents.
5. Next, it’s time for Depositions. This is where all involved parties answer a series of questions. Attorneys seek answers to questions surrounding liability (who is at fault?) and damages (expenses related to the accident).
6. After Depositions, the court must certify that all discovery has been completed and the case is ready for trial. This is called the “Note of Issue.”
7. The trial is the last step in the process. Beginning a trial involves selecting a jury. The trial commences before a judge. From start to finish, your personal injury case may resolve within several days to years.

What is the statute of limitations in New York for personal injury cases?

A personal injury case based on negligence has a statute of limitations of 3 years from the date the injury occurred in the State of New York.

Why is it important to hire a personal injury lawyer?

Hiring a personal injury lawyer if you’ve been injured due to another’s negligence can be beneficial for several reasons. For starters, a personal injury lawyer works to protect your interests and rights against the insurance companies, which often seek to settle claims for as little as possible. An attorney can help you save time on resolving your claim and bring you peace of mind, so you can focus on healing. He or she will evaluate the true value of your claim, calculating the costs of all damages associated with your accident.

Your lawyer will have the resources required to investigate the facts of your case and negotiate a fair settlement. If the insurance company cannot agree to the settlement you deserve, your attorney will be prepared to take your case to trial. Don’t settle for an offer without first speaking to an experienced personal injury lawyer in NYC.
