Dinkes & Schwitzer know litigation inside out; after all you don’t get to be one of the most respected law firms in the state of New York by getting pushed around in court. Over the years they’ve seen and heard it all, and that’s why when it comes litigation there’s no one better to have on your side. Today Dinkes & Schwitzer are going to explain a few essential elements of standard cases.
How do we begin a case?
If you’ve been injured and it wasn’t you fault you should contact a good attorney and file a claim as soon as you get out of the hospital. Dinkes & Schwitzer will then contact the relevant insurance agencies and other parties such as the police and the hospital.You need to file your claim as early as possible; get your statements while peoples’ memories are fresh and before relevant files get lost or buried. In most states you have three years to file a claim; but only sixty days or so to file against the government, so it often pays to make haste.
What evidence should I collect?
Anything that proves you were injured through the fault of another. The exact materials can vary from case to case but typical examples include statements made by the defendant, witnesses’ statements, police reports, medical records, samples of defective drugs or products and many more.
How much will I be compensated?
Again that varies from case to case; however you can usually expect to be compensated for all past and future medical expenses you incur, loss of past and future income, loss of consortium and in very serious cases punitive damages as well.
How much do Dinkes & Schwitzer charge for their services?
That’s the best part! D&S only charge fees if they win your case; if no settlement is received then you don’t pay a penny.
