Wrongfully Injured?
We Can Help

In order to secure compensation you must prove:

• There was negligence. (This could be on the part of a person or a company.)
• The negligence led to your suffering.
• You were physical, emotionally, or financially damaged.

Proving fault and documenting damages in an injury case is a complex process. At Belluck & Fox, our experienced personal injury attorneys have built a team of experts – construction accident, medical specialists, economists, accident reconstruction pros, and investigators – to consult on your case.

Armed with evidence, the injury attorney at our personal injury law firm will devise a smart legal strategy to pursue the compensation needed to get your life back on track after a serious accident.

Depending on the circumstances in your case, our Manhattan personal injury law firm may demand compensation for:

• Existing and expected medical expenses
• Lost income, including diminished earning capacity
• Property damage, such as to your vehicle
• Pain and suffering resulting from injuries
• Punitive damages, which are meant to punish the at-fault party in cases involving extreme misconduct

Do not accept a settlement offer without speaking to Belluck & Fox. Insurance companies always want to pay out as little as possible. In fact, they have teams of claims handlers and injury lawyers working for them to protect their profits.

The insurance company will try to pay you as little as possible. Accepting a settlement offer without consulting an injury lawyer is not a good idea. Especially right after an accident, you may not fully know the extent of the damages you will suffer or all the facts involved in your case.

Take advantage of our free initial consultation to learn what your personal injury case is really worth and how our skilled injury lawyer will fight for maximum compensation.

Most cases are resolved with a settlement, rather than a jury verdict. However, that settlement might come at the last possible minute, including in the middle of a trial.

At Belluck & Fox, our experienced accident injury law firm consists of both skilled negotiators and fierce litigators.

And we always pursue maximum compensation for accident victims, whether that comes in the form of a settlement or jury award.

There’s no simple answer to that question because every case is different. When you sit down for a free, no-obligation case consultation with our attorneys, we will review the details of your claim and map out a legal strategy tailored to your needs.

At Belluck & Fox, we will take your case on a contingency fee basis. That means you do not pay anything upfront for us to start working on your claim, and we only collect legal fees if we recover compensation for you. A contingency fee is a percentage of your compensation and is typically one-third of your recovery.

It’s important to take legal action as soon as you are injured because New York puts a statute of limitations, or time limit, on filing personal injury claims.

You may only have 90 days to file your claim. Standard time limits are:

• Three years to file a slip-and-fall claim
• Three years to file for vehicle accidents
• Three years to file a product liability claim
• Three years to file a claim for personal injury resulting from other negligence
• Two years to file a claim for wrongful death
• One year to file a claim for assault/battery

Based on the statute of limitations, it may seem like you have plenty of time to file your claim, but remember: It takes time to build a strong case, and evidence disappears as time goes by. So the longer you wait to contact an attorney, the more difficult your case becomes.
