Finding The Best New York Construction Accident Lawyer
Construction site accident claims are among the most complex claims to handle for a personal injury lawyer. If you have been injured in a construction accident and are looking to pursue compensation, you need to make sure that the lawyer who represents you is best equipped to handle your claim.
Here are three proven tips that can help you find the best New York construction accident lawyer to achieve maximum compensation from the negligent parties for your construction site injury claim.
Choose an Attorney with Experience in Handling All Types of Construction Injury Claims
One of the most important factors you should consider is the type of construction injury claim you intend to file against the at-fault party to recover compensation.
- If you were injured as a result of a third party’s negligence on the construction site, you can file a personal injury claim against them and recover damages for medical costs, loss of wages, and pain and suffering.
- If you were injured as a result of a defective product or construction equipment, you can file a product liability claim against the manufacturer and recover personal injury damages.
- If you were injured as a result of your own negligence or your employer’s negligence, you can file a workers’ comp claim and receive medical benefits, lost wages, and disability benefits.
It is best to choose a lawyer who has successfully handled similar construction injury claims as yours and has a proven track record of recovering maximum compensation for their clients. This is vital because an experienced lawyer might be familiar with local, state, and federal laws specific to your case, legal precedents, and the issues that might come up during the trial.
Moreover, an experienced construction injury lawyer would also be familiar with the strategies that defendants and their insurance companies might use to pay you as little as possible or deny liability altogether. As a result, they will be able to prepare the necessary counter arguments and gather the right kind of evidence to convince the insurance company during settlement negotiations or the court to obtain the compensation you rightfully deserve.
Choose a Lawyer with Courtroom Trial Capabilities
An established track record of taking cases to trial and recovering damages is the single biggest factor that can help your lawyer gain leverage over the at-fault party in a construction site accident claim. The more experienced your lawyer is in litigating cases, the greater are the chances that they can recover the maximum possible compensation from the at-fault party.
It is noteworthy that when your construction injury attorney has the reputation, resources, and courtroom skills to take your case to trial, the defendants and their insurers would often be much more willing to settle your claim quickly rather than take the risk of fighting you before a jury.
Choose a Construction Injury Attorney with a Proven Record of Personal Injury Settlements and Verdicts
If you have sustained debilitating injuries in a construction accident, experienced prolonged pain and suffering, and your working capacity has been severely affected as a result, you might be entitled to hundreds of thousands of dollars – or even millions – in compensation.
In order to recover the damages you are entitled to, you need a lawyer who has demonstrable professional credentials (such as a membership of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum) and a proven history of recovering large settlements and jury awards.
