Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

Re: accidents

If you were seriously injured you should hire a lawyer, on contingency, to pursue a pain and suffering claim against the other car. You may also hire your own lawyer to oversee the insurance company lawyer, but this would not be a contingency fee arrangement and is not usually done by individuals. Good luck. Best, M. E. Zuller

Re: accidents

If you want to be compensated for your injury, then you should hire an attorney for that. I would have to know more about your injury, and where this happened, to say whether we would be interested.

Re: accidents

You are probably fine letting the insurance carrier's attorney defend the law suit against you. However, if you want to sue the other driver for your injuries, you need to retain your own attorney as the insurance company attorney won't do that for you. Whether you have an injury worth pursuing depends on whether you have a "serious injury" as that term is defined by law. Please feel to contact me if you want to discuss your options. I handle these cases on contigency.

Re: accidents

The answer depends upon the extent of his injury and the extent of your insurance coverage. If you have limited coverage you should retain your own attorney, as your interests may differ from your insurance carrier.
