Catastrophic Injuries Require A Prompt Legal Response

  When an accident causes severe or catastrophic injuries, it’s important to take action immediately to preserve your claim.

Is My Case Frivolous?

  Accidents are the number one cause of death and disability in the United States and a leading cause of poverty, so it’s not surprising that people consider whether they should sue the responsible party when they’re badly hurt and suffering financially. That said, not every accident gives rise to a lawsuit and courts penalize attorneys for bringing frivolous claims. In New York, an attorney must affirm that the action is “not frivolous” before filing an action in court. Most people don’t like to think of themselves as cheap selfish people suing their neighbors for a buck, but if you’re seriously injured due to their carelessness or recklessness, being shy won’t pay your bills.
