THE IMPORTANCE OF CHOOSING AN EXPERIENCED NYC PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY WITH A SUCCESSFUL TRACK RECORD
Throughout the years, our personal injury attorneys have successfully represented individuals and families in New York and New Jersey who suffered injury by the negligence or recklessness of others and we understand how devastating and overwhelming it can be to deal with mounting costs and suffering caused by serious personal injury. We retain the very best experts including accident reconstructionists, biomechanical engineers, medical doctors, forensic pathologists, economists and other experts from the various disciplines involved in the case because every personal injury case requires the plaintiff to prove both liability and damages. Each case has its own set of associated costs, including pain and suffering, lost wages, the cost of care and many other monetary costs and these must be clearly demonstrated. Our trial lawyers will document and preserve any evidence necessary to prove your case and meticulously prepare your case for trial.
