Common Misconceptions About NYC Accident Lawsuits

The laws governing the filing of accident lawsuits are different from state to state. There are many misconceptions that surround accident lawsuits in NYC. No two accidents are exactly alike; no two cases will also be litigated the same way. The Jacob Fuchsberg Law Firm is an experienced accident law firm in NYC. Working with our law firm can erase many misconceptions you may have about NYC accident lawsuits.

Some of the most common misconceptions surrounding NYC accident claims are that they are exclusive of common injuries and that they are too expensive to pursue; both of these are false. In NYC, accident lawsuits can be pursued by anyone that has experienced an accident resulting in an injury where there was a negligent or malicious party involved. These cases can involve work place injuries, car accidents, faulty products, and even animal attacks. The misconception that NYC accident cases are expensive to pursue is false as most law firms will take an accident case on a contingency basis and do not charge a fee unless the outcome of the case is favorable to the client.

Another, and usually the most prevalent, misconception about NYC accident lawsuits is that only greedy people file an accident lawsuit. However this is false; most accident cases in NYC are dependent on insurance companies and it is usually the desire of the insurance company to keep profit margins high. This leads to a conflicting motive where the victim in the accident case is looking to be paid for the damages that have been inflicted on them yet the insurance company is trying to pay the minimum so they can make certain that they satisfy the stockholders. This is the major reason that clients pursue a claim in NYC accident lawsuits.
