Obtaining Compensation for Serious Injuries
Burns, scarring and fractures are all threshold injuries under New York State's no-fault auto insurance law. This means that if you received these injuries in a car accident, you aren't limited to benefits under your no-fault auto insurance. You have a right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent driver who caused your injury.
At the Schonberg Law Offices of the Hudson Valley, I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your personal injury case. I will also assist you with your no-fault claim at no cost. With law offices in the Towns of Monroe/Woodbury, Newburgh and Poughkeepsie, I represent car accident victims in Orange County, Dutchess and surrounding counties in New York's Hudson Valley.
Striving to Obtain the Best Medical Treatment for Your Injury
When you have suffered a serious injury, you may need an advocate to ensure that you receive the best medical treatment.
For example, a broken ankle may be treated by putting the ankle in a cast or with surgery. Surgery will provide the most precise alignment of the bones. However, your doctor may have a financial incentive to provide the least-expensive treatment. Only a second opinion will tell you if you are receiving the most appropriate treatment for your injury.
With scarring injuries, your doctor may not know whether you will need future revision of the scar until a year after your injury. For a child who suffers a scar injury in a car accident, the doctor may not want to perform this surgery until your child is older. If the injury was caused by someone else's negligence, it's important to demand enough compensation now to meet your future medical needs.
As your lawyer, I will work to help you obtain the right medical treatment and make sure you do everything you need to do in order to document your personal injury claim and obtain full compensation.
