The 3 steps you need to take to obtain personal injury compensation

Personal injury cases in the United States are often particularly complicated, especially when you do not have enough knowledge about the victim’s rights and the legal processes that must be followed to obtain benefits. Do you know why it is important to have personal injury lawyers in these cases? Here’s what you need to know.

Personal injuries tend to be one of the most common types of accidents in the country. According to figures from the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI), at least 1 million emergency room visits are recorded annually in the United States for slip and fall-related personal injury cases.

In the case of New York City, the numbers are not much different, so this is also a type of accident that can cause significant damage to a victim. However, if you do not know the rights that the law grants in these cases and the benefits that can be claimed, the situation can be worse.

Call us now or schedule an appointment with us so we can defend your rights.

What cases are considered personal injury?

In general, there are many cases that could be considered personal injury. Whenever the victim is slightly or seriously injured as a result of an accident, it can be a personal injury case. This means that personal injuries can happen in work accidents, construction accidents, traffic accidents, etc.

However, there are certain cases that are considered exclusively personal injury cases and can lead to compensation to recover every expense resulting from your injuries.

The most common personal injury cases are the following:

Slip and fall accidents.

  • Pedestrian accidents.

In each of these cases, the injuries you may sustain entitle you to take significant legal action, and you may be able to receive benefits that will allow you to get justice for your case. At Nonna Shikh Law, we can help you get justice and vindicate your rights before any legal instance.

How to Get Compensation for Personal Injuries

As with any other accident case in the United States, in the case of personal injury there is a process that you must follow to ensure your access to the benefits that the law offers you as a victim, and thus achieve a full recovery without any inconvenience.

This process consists of 3 essential steps, which are the following:

1. Report the Incident to the Authorities

First of all, it is important to make sure that you report the accident to the local authorities where the accident occurred. This will allow you to have a legal report from the authorities, detailing important facts about the accident, which will help you better understand the context in which the accident happened.

2. Collect Information from the Property Owner

If the injuries suffered occurred in a place where there is a responsible party, such as the sidewalk of a house, the aisle of a store, or the stairs of a shopping mall, etc., it is important to collect the information of the owner of the place, who will be responsible for the injuries suffered by the victim.

3. Take Sufficient Evidence of the Case

In case it is necessary to take important legal actions, such as filing a lawsuit demanding the enforcement of your rights and the delivery of compensation for your injuries, it will be necessary to have as much evidence as possible. In this case, photographs, videos, and audio recordings, among others, may be useful.
