Brain Injury Attorney in Queens

You don’t have all the time in the world to pursue a brain injury case. Unfortunately, these cases are highly time-sensitive due to statutes of limitations.

Just to give you some perspective, here in New York, you generally have three years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim. If you wait for too long, you risk jeopardizing your case, as evidence can disappear, and witnesses' memories can fade. Even worse, once this deadline has expired, you won’t be allowed to pursue compensation even if you have a valid case.

In contrast, acting quickly ensures that your attorney has ample time to build a strong case, negotiate with liable parties, and secure the kind of compensation that makes you feel whole again.

Never rely on the other party or their insurance company to look out for your best interests after a brain injury. If they didn’t care about hurting you or a loved one, why should they care about compensating you?

Keep this in mind instead: their primary goal is to minimize their payout. That’s why they’ll try to offer settlements far below what you need and deserve.

They might even downplay your injuries or try to shift the blame onto you. And in a pure comparative negligence state like New York, the compensation you may be entitled to will depend on your percentage of fault.

Having a Morgan and Morgan brain injury attorney on your side ensures that your rights are protected from the moment they take on your case to the very end.

Most victims don’t realize that the impact of a brain injury extends far beyond medical bills.  On top of the medical expenses, you may also be eligible for compensation for:

• pain and suffering
• emotional distress
• loss of enjoyment of life
• long-term care, rehabilitation, and home modifications
• funeral and burial expenses (if a loved one succumbed to their injuries)
