How Much is my Nassau County Personal Injury Case Worth?

You may be entitled to recover a few thousand to millions of dollars in compensatory damages when you have been injured by someone else’s carelessness in Nassau County. The amount you can recover varies based on the unique facts of your case, such as the severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical care, the weight of your evidence, and your personal injury lawyer’s skills.

How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in Nassau County?

It costs nothing upfront to hire a Nassau County injury lawyer at Chopra & Nocerino. We work on a contingency fee arrangement, which means you pay nothing unless we win. We cover the costs of pursuing justice, such as court filing fees and expert witness retainers, to ensure financial concerns never stand in the way of justice.

What is the Statute of Limitations on Personal Injury Claims in Nassau County?

The New York personal injury statute of limitations generally requires you to file your lawsuit within three years of the accident. For fatal accidents, a personal representative can file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the victim’s family up to two years after the death. In limited circumstances, the statute of limitations may be paused, or tolled, such as in cases involving minors or medical malpractice injuries that were not immediately discoverable.

You may be entitled to recover economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are compensation for your accident’s financial costs, such as medical expenses, property damage, and lost wages. Non-economic damages are compensation for your emotional losses, such as pain and suffering, loss of society, emotional distress, and loss of consortium.
