Jackson Heights, New York, Personal Injury Attorneys
The financial impact of a personal injury can be significant when costs associated with future medical treatment, medical equipment, physical therapy and lost wages are taken into consideration. Since insurance companies are "for profit" businesses, most are interested in reducing the amount of money they pay out on claims in any given year. As a result, it can be difficult for injury victims to recover the compensation they need when an insurance company disputes the cause, scope and cost of an injury. At the law office of David B. Schachter, Attorney at Law, we regularly work with investigators, medical professionals, design engineers and safety experts in building our clients' cases. We also use medical economists and life care planners when determining the total cost of our client's injuries.
We help injured clients secure full and fair compensation for their injuries, whether they were injured while crossing the street, in a car accident, on a poorly maintained sidewalk or inside a store or hotel. To schedule a free consultation and learn how we can help you, contact personal injury lawyer David B. Schachter today.
Accidents That Cause Personal Injuries
If you have been a victim of any of the following, contact us:
Negligence Creates Liability
Liability for a personal injury does not necessarily depend on whether or not a person acted intentionally. Generally, property owners, operators, car drivers and manufacturers must exercise a duty of care toward patrons and customers. This duty may include removing or minimizing exposure to dangers and hazards and making sure that their premises are safe for people who might be present. If a property has cracked and uneven sidewalks, this may constitute a breach of the duty of care the property owner has to others.
As your attorney, David B. Schachter exposes negligent actions by retailers, government agencies, building managers and taxi cab drivers who violate a duty of care owed to others. Working with investigators, our office explains certain hazards and how their foreseeable consequences were ignored. We provide evidence, record eyewitness testimony and consult experts when analyzing evidence from the scene of an accident.
Personal Injuries - Protecting Yourself and Establishing Your Case
If you've been injured in an accident, avoid talking to an insurance agent before you've had a chance to consult an attorney. Insurance companies often fish for statements or information they can use against you later to reduce or deny claim amounts.
Our staff and consultants have over 50 years of experience with these matters. Please contact our firm today.
