How I Learned To Love Being An Ambulance Chaser
When my dad took me to play tennis and ice skate - when we took our yearly Winter trips to visit relatives in Florida - when we shopped at Saks and Bloomingdales - all I ever heard was how my dad’s law practice paid for all of it. What was he doing to make money for all these nice things? I didn’t really know, but sometimes people would chuckle and say he’s an ambulance chaser. I didn’t really like the sound of this and wished that my dad was something cool like an actor or a civil rights leader. It’s been a long road, but I’ve come to understand the value of the business he built that continues to give low income people access to legal services - there’s a great [...]
How To Find The Best Accident Lawyer
Everybody always wants to hire the best. This is true when you’re looking for a doctor, lawyer, accountant, plumber, electrician or babysitter.

So, if you’re looking for the best accident lawyer in Forest Hills, it’s important to give some thought to what’s important to you. Do You Like To Be Informed?

That’s why it’s important to speak to a negligence lawyer in Queens to find out if what happened to you is something that justifies a lawsuit. Elements of a Negligence Claim 1 Duty of Care [...]

Types of Damages Recoverable in Personal Injury Law
Generally, a personal injury case begins with establishing negligence, which is the recognition of a legal duty and breach of that legal duty. This means that there must be something expected, such as a property owner’s duty to keep the premises safe, and the “breach” might be oil left spilled on the floor for an unreasonable amount of time. It also needs to be proven that the “breach of duty” caused the injury claimed. This is known as “causation.” Just because the oil was on the ground, doesn’t mean it caused the accident, it must be proven that that it was slipping on the oil that caused the accident. Once negligence is proven, as above, the damages are assessed. An experienced Personal Injury Lawyer NYC knows how to maximize the claim [...]
