Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in the Hudson Valley?

Our goal is to make quality legal representation accessible to everyone. We want you to focus on recovering, not on worrying about legal bills.

What kind of losses can I seek compensation for in the Hudson Valley?

A serious injury can have a devastating impact on your life, both financially and emotionally. State's law allows you to seek compensation for various losses, including:

Economic Damages

These cover tangible expenses related to your injury, such as:

Medical bills (past and future)
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Rehabilitation costs
Property damage

A serious injury can leave you facing financial hardship. Economic damages are intended to alleviate that burden.

Non-Economic Damages

These aim to compensate you for intangible losses, such as:

Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Loss of enjoyment of life
Disfigurement

Your lawyer knows how to assess your losses accurately and can determine a fair amount of non-economic damages to negotiate for in your claim.

Punitive Damages

In rare cases where the at-fault party acted with extreme recklessness or malice, the court may award punitive damages as further punishment.

The amount of compensation you can recover depends on the specific circumstances of your case. An experienced personal injury attorney can assess your damages and help you fight for the maximum amount to which you are entitled.

How long do I have to file a Hudson Valley personal injury lawsuit?

The statute of limitations is a law that sets a strict deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit. In most cases, you have three years from the date of your injury to file a claim. If you miss this deadline, you could lose your right to seek compensation entirely.

However, there are some exceptions to this general rule. For example, the statute of limitations may be extended if:

The injury was not immediately discovered
The injured person is a minor
The at-fault party is a government entity (special notice requirements apply)

It's crucial to consult with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after an accident. They can help you understand the specific deadlines that apply to your case and ensure your rights are protected.

How long does a Hudson Valley injury case take?

The timeline for resolving a personal injury case can vary widely. Here are the key factors that can impact the timeline:

Severity of Injuries: Cases involving complex injuries and ongoing medical treatment often take longer to resolve, as it's important to understand the full extent of your damages
Clarity of Liability: When it's clear who was at fault, cases tend to resolve more quickly, but complex cases involving disputes over liability can add time
Negotiations: The majority of personal injury cases settle without a trial, so the length of time depends on the complexity of the case and how quickly the parties can reach an agreement
Trial: If your case goes to trial, it could add several months or more to the process
