If you, or a loved one, have been involved in an accident, you may not know what to expect. Below, we have included some essential information that you should know before pursuing legal action.

1. Most Personal Injury Lawsuits are Based on Negligence: While accidents and resulting injuries can arise in numerous ways, most personal injury cases are based on the legal theory of negligence.

2. The Dietrich Law Firm P.C. Works on a Contingency-Fee-Basis: As part of our representation, the Dietrich Law Firm P.C. will assume all expenses related to filing and pursuing your injury claim. Our clients never pay any out-of-pocket costs or up-front expenses to retain the legal services of our highly qualified lawyers. We will only seek a fee after your claim is settled or successfully tried. You have absolutely nothing to lose. Our final legal fees are subject to the compensation we obtain for you. If you decide to retain us, we will enter into a contingency-fee-basis agreement specifying that the Dietrich Law Firm P.C. will collect a set percentage of your case’s final settlement or court award.
3. All Personal Injury Lawyers are not Created Equal: The importance of retaining an experienced, competent, and knowledgeable personal injury attorney cannot be emphasized enough. Even the slightest mistake could greatly impact your right to compensation as well as the damages you can obtain. Being represented by a practiced lawyer can make a world of difference to your case. Victims want the best possible personal injury attorney handling their case.
4. Victims Have Limited Time to File Lawsuits: In New York State, there is a statute of limitations for most personal injury claims. Failure to file a claim within the applicable statute of limitations can bar your right to recover compensation for any damages.
5. Victims can Recover Compensation for Economic and Non-Economic Damages: Financial awards in personal injury cases are intended to restore victims to their pre-accident conditions. If you have suffered an injury caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be able to obtain full compensation for all past and future medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost wages, diminished future earning capacity, loss of enjoyment, loss of consortium, pain and suffering (caused by your injury, as well as treatment and recovery), permanent disability suffered, costs to repair or replace damaged property, and any other unforeseen damages.

6. Most Personal Injury Claims Settle: The truth is most personal injury cases are settled out of court, either through negotiations or mediation. The Dietrich Law Firm P.C.’s veteran lawyers strive to obtain fair and timely settlements on behalf of all of our clients. This means that we may be able to obtain the compensation you deserve without ever going to court. Nevertheless, we have extensive courtroom experience and, if necessary, we will take your case to trial.
7. Even if Partially at Fault, Victims can Still be Compensated: Under New York law, if you have been injured in an accident, even if you were partially at fault, you may still be entitled to recover compensation. The legal doctrine of comparative negligence permits juries to award victims damages for their losses but decrease it by the percentage that they were responsible.
8. Never Accept an Insurance Company’s First Settlement Offer: You should never agree to an insurance company’s settlement offer before consulting with a personal injury attorney. Insurance companies are notorious for downplaying injuries and making lowball settlement offers. Upon accepting a settlement, you will be unable to seek additional compensation even if your injuries turn out to be more severe than you originally believed. Although settling your claim promptly may be enticing, it could result in obtaining considerably less compensation than you deserve.
9. Personal Injury Cases Can Take Time: Some personal injury lawsuits are more complicated than others. Cases typically take anywhere from 6 months to as much as 5 years. Insurance companies are notorious for dragging out the process to get victims to settle for less. The amount of time it takes to settle your claim depends on liability, the defendant’s insurance policy, your injuries, required future medical treatment, and settlement negotiations.
10. Every Claim is Unique: No two personal injury cases are the same. Claims encompass countless variables, such as the type of accident, nature and severity of injuries, the specific facts of the case, the defendant’s insurance company, other damages involved, and the expected recovery time. As a result, cases can vary greatly in duration and whether they are settled or tried.
