Re: Information about cases similar to mine

Go to a law library and ask for a binder of the New York Jury Verdict Reporters. Each issue is about forty pages. In the back of each issue is an index where you can search for cases by injuries (look under facial lacerations and broken vertebrae) and by county (very important!). Look through at least six months of back issues and try to find at least 5-6 similar cases. There are also services that will find similar injury settlements and verdicts and send them to you. Just be aware that people unrepresented by attorneys rarely get anything close to the figures you'll be seeing. Best of Luck! If you have questions or want an opinion on a settlement figure, feel free to contact me at 917-922-0835.
