Accident Questions & Answers
1. What should I be doing before I see an attorney? I
am not sure yet how serious my accident was.
Please do the following:
-
Document all events in a journal, including doctor’s
visits, and any contact by anyone regarding the
accident. Photograph your injuries from day one.
- Do not speak to anyone regarding the accident, such as
an insurance agent or adjuster without contacting your
attorney.
- See an attorney as soon as possible to discuss this.
You can always elect to drop the matter, but it is
important to see that your rights are preserved.
2. My insurance company is offering me a nice
settlement. Should I take it?
No. Tell the insurance company that you will get back to
them. Contact an attorney at Oshman & Mirisola, LLP
immediately. An insurance company may offer a minimal amount
of money in return for your signature stating that you will
not sue them. Never take an insurance check without first
consulting an attorney to discuss your case.
3. How will I pay for my medical bills?
If you have been injured, you will likely have medical bills
from physicians, hospitals, physical therapists, and other
health care providers. Those bills will be in your name and
will usually be sent to your address. You are primarily
responsible for paying your bills, regardless of the cause
of your injuries. The at-fault person's liability insurance
carrier is responsible for paying you reasonable
compensation for damages incurred, which includes medical
bills, but the insurance carrier is not responsible for
paying your doctors, hospitals, and other providers.
Sometimes the amount the insurance company is willing to pay
is far less than the actual amount you owe. You need an
attorney who fill fight for your rights with the insurance
companies to ensure that you are fully compensated. Contact
Oshman & Mirisola, LLP today to discuss your course of
action.
4. What are the most common work injuries claims?
Some of the most common work injuries involve:
- Employee death
- Head injury
- Brain injury
- Skin disease
- Neck Injuries
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Spinal cord injuries
- Back injuries
5. Are there any laws governing work injuries?
Workers' Compensation law provides benefits to workers who
are injured on the job or who suffer an occupational disease
arising out of and in the course of employment. The problem
with Workers' Compensation benefits is that the compensation
is often not sufficient to address the extent of the
injuries. In this situation, an attorney can advise you on
how to obtain the compensation you need to cover your
medical costs. Contact Oshman & Mirisola, LLP to discuss
your case.
6. What is the statute of limitation to bring an
accident claim in New York?
As with any personal injury claim, the statute of
limitations is three years from the date of the accident. If
a wrongful death has occurred due to a construction
accident, you have two years from the date of death to file
your claim.
