Hunts Point Personal Injury Lawyers

Though Hunts Point residents know to be careful in their daily lives, not every accident is avoidable. They happen every day– from car accidents and slips and falls to premises liability, workplace incidents, and more. How can you tell when it warrants pursuit of a  lawsuit? The Douglas & London team of Hunts Point personal injury lawyers can help.

The right personal injury lawyer will not only help you determine if you have a case but will also support and guide you through the entire legal process to help you win the maximum possible compensation for your injuries and losses. 

Was there negligence involved in your accident?

The biggest step in deciding if you have a case for a personal injury lawsuit is determining if someone else’s negligence caused the accident. The only way to determine liability is to gather and analyze the evidence.

Personal injury case evidence can range from CCTV footage and eyewitness testimony to background information, physical evidence, and sometimes expert testimony. It’s important that you do not change or alter the scene in any way until the authorities can document and collect evidence.

You can also take your own photographs and videos of the scene if you choose.

What should I do after an accident?

The first thing you need to do after an accident is to take care of your health. Call first responders if an ambulance is necessary, or take yourself to a hospital or doctor to get examined. Nothing is more important than your wellbeing. Also, if you don’t seek treatment, this can give the defendant ammunition to say your injury was not severe and does not require compensation.

Next, you need to contact police or investigators to gather and preserve evidence and file a report. This is also a good idea as a third party, such as the police, can lower the risk of a confrontation between the victim and the negligent party.

Always call a lawyer

Your next step after an accident should be to call our team of Hunts Point personal injury lawyers. We will not only advocate for you and your rights but also will begin working on your case immediately to reduce your wait time before your settlement.

Also, almost every state has a statute of limitations law that puts a time cap on how long you can wait after an accident to file a claim. The sooner you call a lawyer, the easier it will be for you to get the compensation you deserve for your injuries and associated losses.
