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.
