Frequently Asked Questions  About Catastrophic Injury Law

What qualifies as a catastrophic injury?

A catastrophic injury is one that causes permanent or long-term damage to your body or mind. This can include paralysis, traumatic brain injury, severe burns, amputation, or any condition that permanently impacts your ability to work or live independently.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit in New York?

In most cases, you have three years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York. However, there are exceptions; especially if the case involves a government entity or medical malpractice. It’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

Will I have to go to trial?

Not necessarily. Many catastrophic injury cases are resolved through settlement. That said, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial so we’re ready to fight for full compensation if negotiations fall short.

How much does it cost to hire your firm?

We work on a contingency basis. That means you don’t pay anything upfront, and we only collect a fee if we secure a settlement or verdict on your behalf.

Do you handle cases outside of White Plains?

Yes. While our office is based in White Plains, we represent clients throughout Westchester County and across New York State.
