While the law surrounding concussions sustained in car accidents in New York is complex, if it can be proven that the negligence of another party caused your injuries you have a right to sue.
For example, our firm successfully obtained a $2,000,000 pre-trial settlement for a vehicle accident caused by a negligent driver who struck our client’s vehicle, resulting in a concussion and post-concussion syndrome.
Concussions are brain injuries. Which means that if you have suffered a concussion due to the negligence of another party, your first step is to consult with an experienced brain injury lawyer. With over 43 years of experience in representing brain injury survivors in New York, the brain injury attorneys at De Caro & Kaplen, LLP can evaluate your case, explain your rights, and guide you through the legal process.
Working together our attorneys will assist in obtaining all relevant details about your case. This may involve speaking to witnesses, obtaining CCTV footage where available, obtaining police records, consulting with medical staff involved in your treatment, and talking to insurance companies.
Our firm has access to doctors and other experts who specialize in concussions and brain injury. These expert witnesses will assist our attorneys in the prosecution of your case, and provide necessary expert testimony to establish the malpractice if your case proceeds to trial.
Once we have collected evidence, and consulted with qualified experts, we will prepare a lawsuit against the responsible parties. This initiates the legal process and notifies the defendants of your claim.
After a concussion lawsuit is instituted, various steps take place including obtaining additional records and information from the individuals or entities we have sued. We have the opportunity to question individuals under oath during a deposition.
In many cases, the parties may reach a settlement before going to trial. We may participate in a process with the insurance carriers and attorneys representing the individual or entity known as mediation. We will discuss options with you and attempt to negotiate on your behalf to ensure you receive fair compensation.
If a settlement cannot be reached, your concussion case will proceed to trial. We thoroughly prepare your concussion case including all witnesses and documents, and present your case to a jury who will determine the outcome.
