Let Hedayati Law Group P.c. Advocate For Your Rights While You Focus On Recovery

One of the key aspects of a personal injury lawsuit involves negotiating with insurance companies. Their goal is to minimize the compensation you can receive. This is why working with a lawyer can make a significant difference in seeking the reparation you need. We can carefully review your situation and make sure that we protect your rights and future when speaking and negotiating on your behalf.

Most personal injury lawsuits rely on proving negligence, a failure in providing appropriate duty of care that results in harming another person. Working with an experienced lawyer is key to successfully establishing negligence with acceptable proof.

The four main elements of proving negligence are:

Duty of care: We must demonstrate that the defendant owed you, the victim and plaintiff, an obligation of care. For example, a driver should respect traffic rules, or a medical provider must establish an accurate diagnosis.
Breach of duty: Our lawyers must prove that the defendant did not act appropriately.
Causation: The defendant’s actions directly harmed you and caused your personal injury.
Damages: We establish the specific physical injury, financial loss, and any other damages that the defendant caused to you.

Under New York law of pure comparative negligence, a court may hold a plaintiff partially responsible for their injury and reduce the victim’s damages accordingly. A common example is if a car accident victim did not wear their seat belt at the time of the injury.

Our personal injury attorneys not only bring thorough legal knowledge to your case, but we can work with medical and financial experts when necessary. We carefully conduct our own investigation and gather evidence to prove your claim, which may include speaking with witnesses who, like independent experts, can testify about your case.
