PERSONAL INJURY

Valley Stream Personal Injury Attorneys

Local Injury Representation for Long Island Residents

After an accident or injury, it is important to speak with an experienced lawyer who can advise you on your legal options in regards to seeking compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. This monetary award can help pay for your care and treatment, repair damaged property, and hold the negligent party responsible for your injury accountable for their actions. 

Our Valley Stream personal injury attorneys at Nass Roper & Levin, PC are experienced in trying a range of personal injury matters where a person’s, company’s, or entity’s wrongful conduct causes another’s injury. Courts then award compensation to victims in an attempt to make them whole once again.

What Is the Statute of Limitations?

The statute of limitations is a law that limits how long injury victims have to file a personal injury claim before they lose their legal right to do so. How long the statute of limitations is depends on the state. According to New York Civil Practice Law & Rules section 214 the statute of limitations in the state of New York is three years. 

This means you have three years from the date your injury was inflicted to file a claim or you risk losing your ability to file and effective claim compensation. There are some exceptions to this law that can extend or shorten the amount of time you have to file so it’s important to speak to an experience attorney about your case as soon as possible. If you have been injured, call our firm today to schedule a free consultation.

To discuss your case and learn how our Valley Stream personal injury lawyers can help, call (718) 775-3246. We offer help in English, Spanish, and French for your convenience.

The Elements of a Successful Personal Injury Claim

To succeed in a personal injury lawsuit, you will need to prove that an entity owed a reasonable duty of care, breached that duty, and caused injury. The state of New York has a three-year statute of limitations for most personal injury lawsuits, meaning that if you do not file your lawsuit within three years of the accident, your claim may be time-barred. This is why it is vital that you speak with a Valley Stream personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. 

At Nass Roper & Levin, PC, we can look at the details of your accident, including your medical records, witness testimony, any evidence from the scene of the injury, in order to build a claim for compensation on your behalf. The sooner you contact our firm, the stronger your case will be, as memories fade and evidence can disappear. 

The statute’s countdown also begins on the date of your accident, in most cases, so while it is important you get prompt medical attention, the next step you take should be to contact our Valley Stream personal injury lawyers.

Seek Justice for Your Injury with Our Valley Stream Legal Team

If someone else’s negligence has caused you or a loved one an injury, you might be entitled to compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. Courts award successful personal injury plaintiffs specific damages for medical costs, lost wages, and property damage.

Courts also award damages for less quantifiable injuries like pain and suffering for the emotional toll that your injury has taken. In cases in which the defendant acted with malice, the court may award the plaintiff additional punitive damages.
