Proving Your Case

To recover on a personal injury claim, you must prove two elements. First, you must have an injury. The more serious the injury, the larger the potential financial recovery. Second, your injury must have been caused by the negligence of another person or party such as a business or a government entity.

Your personal injury lawyer must therefore make sure to show the full extent of your injuries and who was at fault. Many accident victims do not recover as much as they deserve, because they accept low settlement offers from insurance companies that do not adequately cover the true cost of their injuries. Similarly, some accident victims do not have legal advocates on their side who know how to seek evidence regarding fault for the accident.

 

Seeking Maximum Compensation from Every Source

Even if you can establish these two elements, a successful personal injury claim requires that the party responsible for your injury have the financial resources to compensate you or have an insurance policy with sufficient coverage. Even if the responsible party has no resources or insurance, however, you may benefit from laws that protect victims of accidents. For example, in New York, a state fund exists to reimburse victims injured by a car that had no insurance. In addition, New York's no-fault insurance law grants injured people certain benefits regarding insurance, regardless of who cause the accident.

At Jeffrey B. Peltz, P.C., we seek compensation from all appropriate sources, including from your own insurance company if you have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, the at-fault party's insurance, and the New York state fund.
