When should I contact a personal injury lawyer?

A: If you've sustained an injury due to someone else's negligence or recklessness, it's essential to contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. 

Time Limitations and Proving Liability

You typically have a 2-year limitation from the date of the accident to file a claim against the other party involved, and this period may vary depending on jurisdiction and specific circumstances. Proving the at-fault party's liability can be complex and requires evidence, expert opinions, and legal knowledge. A lawyer can assist in gathering necessary evidence and presenting a strong case.

Handling Insurance Companies and Valuing Your Claim

Handling insurance companies can be challenging, as they may attempt to settle a claim quickly and for less than its worth. A lawyer can negotiate with insurers on your behalf, ensuring fair compensation and protecting you from pressure tactics. They can also correctly assess the value of your injuries and losses, including medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.

Legal Representation and Support 

Legal representation can be crucial in various scenarios, whether you were at fault or not or if the accident involved minor or major injuries, fatal casualties, or disputes over fault. At Kantor LLP, we focus in handling these matters on behalf of our clients, allowing you to concentrate on your recovery. From arranging assessments with medical professionals to researching case law and determining financial losses, we protect your rights.
