Do I need a personal injury attorney to make a claim?

While you can submit a personal injury claim on your own, hiring an experienced lawyer at Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys can significantly improve your chances of success. Personal injury claims can include complicated legal procedures, tight timeframes, and aggressive insurance companies attempting to reduce their awards. Without legal understanding and bargaining skills, you may accept significantly less than your claim is genuinely worth—or risk having your case dismissed on a technicality.

Sullivan Brill's attorneys understand how to obtain compelling evidence, establish liability, determine reasonable compensation, and communicate with insurance. We also understand when to seek a settlement and when to take your case to trial. With decades of combined experience, we've helped numerous New York customers navigate the legal system and receive the recompense they deserve.

Hiring our firm provides you with more than just legal representation; you also receive a dedicated advocate who will battle to preserve your rights and financial future.

What kind of compensation may I anticipate to receive? 
 
The compensation you may obtain in a personal injury case is determined by a number of variables, including the severity of your injuries, their impact on your daily life, and the magnitude of your financial losses. At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we work hard to help our clients get the full compensation they deserve under New York law. 
 
Personal injury compensation typically covers economic damages such as medical expenditures, lost wages, and future medical costs. If your accident prohibits you from returning to work or earning the same amount, we may seek compensation for lost earning capability. Non-economic damages may also be given for pain and suffering, mental anguish, and a lower quality of life. 
 
Punitive damages may be available in circumstances of excessive negligence or purposeful wrongdoing in order to punish the culprit and deter similar behavior in the future. Our legal team meticulously examines all aspects of your case to ascertain the utmost value of your claim.
