A car accident, trip and fall, or construction accident can lead to serious consequences or even death. Injuries can cause heavy financial losses from missed work and medical bills. This can be tough, especially if it’s through no fault of your own. If you are left with a long-term disability, those losses could last a lifetime. A personal injury attorney will ensure that you have full representation and that any negligent parties responsible for your injury are held liable for your financial losses. |
“I lost my husband due to a defective product. Our family needed an attorney to vigorously represent my family and fight for justice. We entrusted our case to you and you did everything possible to ensure our rights were preserved. Thank you for being so aggressive and for resolving the matter on favorable terms to the estate and our family.”
Whether you are in the process of buying or selling a home you want to make sure that your investments are protected. A real estate attorney will review all of the documents and revise them if necessary. They will also help handle transactions and review purchase agreements to ensure full transparency. They can aid you with acquiring title insurance, settling any disputes if they arise, and offer advice on property taxes, appraisals, and local regulations.
The majority of tenants and landlords will never have issues during the rental period. At times, disagreements may arise over things like an increase in rental rates, the habitability of a property, or a failure to pay rent, among other things. An attorney can help settle these disputes and inform tenants and landlords of their rights and what their plan of action should be for any given situation. If you have been served with eviction papers of feel you are a victim of housing discrimination, you will greatly benefit from the services of a qualified attorney.
A buyer’s closing attorney is responsible for reviewing the contract of sale, advising the client of key provisions before signing, performing due diligence tasks, ordering a title search, ordering title insurance, coordinating closing documents, attending the closing and advising the client accordingly, distributing funds and more.
A seller’s attorney general drafts the contract of sale and seeks to expedite the sale of property on a particular closing date. The seller’s closing attorney advises the clients of any issues that may prevent the closing and seeks to coordinate to remedy them with the real estate broker.
You can hire an attorney recommended by your broker. You should note that real estate attorneys many times receive a large share of referrals from real estate brokers.
If you die without a will, the New York State Intestacy laws will apply. Your surviving relatives will have to file paperwork in Surrogate’s Court to distribute any assets not passing to your beneficiaries. A will or trust allows you to plan ahead and determine how your property will be divided, and also plan in avoiding taxation.
Accident lawyers generally do all the following:
– investigates the circumstances surrounding the accident
– collects information such as police reports, accident reports and medical records
– determines who may be responsible for causing the accident
– determines what the statute of limitations applies
– determines where to bring any lawsuit, such as federal or state court
– obtains statements from witnesses where warranted- researches what your case is worth
– and much more.
Every case is different and you should hire an attorney as soon as possible as time limits may likely apply.
Yes. Under New York law, you can fire your lawyer at any time. All you need is to advise your attorney you are terminating the attorney’s services. It is advisable this be memorialized in writing via email or correspondence. If you hire a new attorney, your new attorney will send out any notice.
Accident attorneys generally take accident cases on a contingency fee. This means that an attorney will charge a percentage of any settlement or recovery obtained. This type of fee is popular throughout New York, and the US generally, since most accident victims don’t have the means of paying an attorney an hourly fee. The contingency fee arrangement allow clients to proceed with claims they otherwise would not be able to hire an attorney to prosecute. An attorney takes a percentage of the recovery if there is recovery, and bears the risk if no recovery is obtained. This type of contingency fee arrangement is not common in other areas of law such as real estate, will preparation, matrimonial law, etc.
If you are being sued by a person injured in an accident, you should immediately forward the lawsuit papers to your insurance carrier. Your insurance carrier is obligated to hire an attorney to defend you and your interests in any lawsuit. If for some reason you do not have any insurance coverage, then you will likely need to retain counsel out of pocket to defend you.
