According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a car accident occurs every thirteen minutes in the country. Car accidents have profound financial, legal, and physical consequences.
Enlisting the services of an experienced Queens Car Accident Lawyer can greatly enhance your chances of getting a fair settlement that covers your accident-related expenses and more.
Gathering Compelling Evidence To Secure Maximum Compensation
One of the most critical aspects of preparing for a settlement or a court trial is to gather evidence. In car accident claims, the injured party bears the burden of proof to establish that the at-fault party was responsible for the accident.
Proving fault requires comprehensive evidence. Your evidence should include the police report, witness statements, video and photographic evidence, medical reports, and testimonies of expert witnesses.
Documents that may be persuasive in supporting your claim include:
- Paychecks showing the wages/income you were regularly receiving in the months leading up to the accident
- Doctors’ notes detailing your medical treatment plan and how you are complying with it
- Correspondence from your employer verifying the number of months/days/hours you missed from work
- Opinions of experts on your future earning capacity if you have suffered permanent, debilitating injuries.
The more compelling evidence you can provide, the greater the likelihood of securing just and fair compensation for your car accident claim.
Identifying Damages To Secure Maximum Compensation
Establishing liability and damages in car accidents is pivotal to the success of a claim.
Experienced car accident attorneys know how to sort out insurance coverage issues to recover the maximum amount available to compensate for physical damage, injuries, and other losses.
At Gregory Spektor And Associates, P.C., our attorneys have one objective in mind – securing adequate compensation for accident victims. The lawyers at our New York personal injury firm know how to determine what damages you should seek and how best to pursue them.
Our seasoned attorneys help car accident victims recover economic damages such as medical bills, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, and costs of rehabilitation, and non-economic damages suffered due to pain and suffering, anguish and emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life and companionship.
Negotiations To Secure Maximum Compensation
Victims of devastating auto accidents should wait until they reach maximum medical improvement levels to settle their claims. Don’t let an insurance company coerce you into settling for less.
In many auto wrecks, injuries are apparent at the time of the accident or from a follow-up medical examination. However, in some cases, it may take longer to detect symptoms of underlying injuries.
Car accidents can leave a lasting impact that goes beyond medical expenses and property damage. Pain and suffering refers to the physical pain and mental suffering you’ve experienced and will continue to endure due to your injury.
While negotiating settlements with insurers, the experienced attorneys at Gregory Spektor And Associates will use a multiplier method where they will add up all of the economic damages and then multiply this by a set number (usually a number ranging from 1.5 to 5) to reach a figure for pain and suffering.
