Queens Nassau County Long Island Personal Injury Lawyers Attorneys

A personal injury is an injury that causes discomfort to you in any facet of your life, from repeated doctor visits to disabling injuries. The injury may be temporary or permanent, partial or total. An injury causes a significant interruption in normal lifestyle due to loss of work, substantial pain, disfigurement, or the like. A serious injury adversely affects earnings and the quality of life for you and your family.

The compensation you are entitled to receive often depends upon the type of accident causing the injury. For instance, there are different rules of recovery when the injury results from an automobile accident than when it is an on-the-job injury.

To understand the rule that would apply to your situation, you need to consult with an attorney.

You must be aware of certain time limitations for acting to protect your interest and the interest of your family. If you do not act within certain time limits, you may lose your right to make a claim in the future even if the injury, which now seems relatively insignificant, gets much worse as time goes by. These time limits are particularly short when medical malpractice may have caused the injury.

The law permits the estate to file a lawsuit on behalf of the heirs. Wrongful death is a term used to describe the type of lawsuits brought by the surviving relatives of a deceased person, against the person who caused the death to occur.
