Learn About Personal Injury From an Experienced Lawyer
You must meet basic requirements to file a personal injury claim after a car crash or other motor vehicle accident or another type of personal injury. First, you must show that you were injured. Second, you must prove that the injuries were the result of another party's negligence or recklessness. Third, you must show that the other party has insurance or other assets against which you are filing the claim. If you meet these criteria, you probably have a case. However, only an attorney can tell you for certain.
At our Albany, New York, law firm of Colwell, Colwell & Petroccione, LLP, our attorneys advise people injured in motor vehicle crashes and other personal injury accidents. We review the circumstances of their accident, evaluate their injuries and damages, and determine whether they meet the criteria outlined above. We also investigate the insurance coverage and assets of the other party to find out whether there are resources to pay the amount you will be claiming.
Prove that you were injured: Your injuries may be obvious to you, but the other side will try to prove that you were not injured at all or that your injuries are far less serious than you claim. Our Albany personal injury case lawyers consult with medical experts and specialists to demonstrate the extent of your injuries and their effect on your life, work and family.
Prove the injuries were the result of the other party's negligence or recklessness: For motor vehicle accidents, we employ accident reconstructionists, engineers and law enforcement testimony to demonstrate liability. In other cases, we consult specialists in the particular field involved: physicians in wrongful death and serious injury cases and s to accidents that occurred because of dangerous property conditions.
Determine that there are assets or insurance coverage: Our attorneys are adept at uncovering assets and insurance coverage. In some instances, we identify multiple insurance policies or dig deep to reveal assets that may not have been obvious at first. If there are resources and coverage against which to file the claim, rest assured that our lawyers will find them.
