Should You Work With a Long Island Premises Liability Lawyer?
Working with an experienced Long Island premises liability attorney can make all the difference as you’re recovering from an accident. Attorneys can help you exercise your right to an insurance claim after a serious accident, all while protecting your right to use the civil system to demand compensation for your losses.
What’s more, our attorneys have access to a vast network of professional resources, including expert witnesses and investigators. We’re prepared to use those resources to help you build out a case that you might otherwise struggle to make on your own.
We offer these services on a contingency fee basis. In other words, you don’t have to put a dollar down to start working with a tried-and-tested legal team. You can contact us immediately after an accident and secure the compensation you need to financially recover without exacerbating your current situation.
When Can You Contact a Long Island Premises Liability Lawyer?
Contacting Shulman & Hill doesn’t lock you into any kind of legal action. It’s entirely up to you to decide whether or not you want to move forward with a premises liability case after meeting with our team.
That’s why we encourage you to contact our staff shortly after an accident. You can discuss your right to action, take time to consider your recovery strategies, and select the one that suits your individual needs.
However, we’re also mindful of New York’s personal injury statute of limitations, or N.Y. C.P.L.R Law § 214. This statute only gives you three years to take legal action against the parties responsible for your premises liability accident.
If you want to work in the civil system after a premises liability accident, reach out to our staff before your deadline comes knocking.
How Do Lawyers Prove Your Right to Premises Liability Damages?
Your attorney can emphasize your right to premises liability compensation by first proving that you were owed a duty of care at the time of your accident. Landowners and related parties owe duties of care to invitees and licensees. Invitees include business visitors and consumers, while licensees include social guests.
Once our attorneys break down your role on someone’s land, we can take a closer look at the negligence that led to your accident. Inappropriate security, dangerous environmental hazards, and unresponsive staff can all expose a landowner to a significant lawsuit.
The evidence we gather needs to meet or exceed New York’s burden of proof if you want to move forward with an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. Fortunately, we can work with professional investigators to build out your premises liability case.
Do You Have to Go to Trial to Fight for Premises Liability Damages?
You don’t have to present your case to a judge to fight for premises liability damages. Property owners throughout Long Island have insurance, meaning you can file an insurance claim with a relevant provider after an accident on someone else’s property.
However, if you want to move forward with an insurance claim, we encourage you to work with a Long Island premises liability lawyer to complete your paperwork and negotiate with adjusters. Support from a lawyer can prevent an adjuster from taking advantage of your stress or lack of information.
If an insurance company won’t acknowledge your right to accident damages, don’t panic. You can file a premises liability claim without going to trial. The civil process allows you to start negotiating with a landowner or liable party. If negotiations fall through, you can work with your lawyer to prepare for litigation.
How Much Money Can You Recover After a Premises Liability Accident?
The amount of money you stand to take away from a premises liability case will depend on the extent of your injuries, a liable party’s negligence, and a property owner’s insurance coverage. No two premises liability cases look alike, meaning that our team will need to conduct an individual investigation into your losses before assigning your case a value.
We can help you ask for a final settlement that addresses your:
- Pain and suffering
- Reduced quality of life
- Stress
- Emotional distress
- Emergency services and additional medical care
- Lost workplace benefits and/or reduced income
- Property damage
