Dealing With Insurance Companies After an Accident
Insurance companies may begin investigating an accident shortly after it occurs. Adjusters may request statements, medical information, documents, or other information while evaluating the claim.
It is important to remember that an insurance company’s interests may not always align with yours.
The Law Office of Gina M. Wicik can communicate with insurers on your behalf, gather and present available evidence, document your injuries and financial losses, evaluate settlement offers, and negotiate toward an appropriate resolution.
If a fair resolution cannot be reached, we can evaluate the additional legal options that may be available based on the circumstances of your case.
New York Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims
In most injury cases, we file an insurance claim to settle the situation. It helps our clients secure the finances they are entitled to. If necessary, our trial attorneys do that on your behalf and fight for an appropriate settlement.
The New York statutes of limitations (SOL) are a deciding factor in whether or not and when we file a lawsuit. The restrictions may also depend on the type of case you have.
New York law imposes deadlines for filing personal injury lawsuits. The deadline that applies depends on the type of claim, the parties involved, and the specific circumstances of the case.
Many negligence-based personal injury claims in New York are generally subject to a three-year statute of limitations. However, different and sometimes much shorter deadlines may apply in certain situations, including claims involving municipalities or other government entities.
Waiting can also make a claim more difficult. Evidence may disappear, surveillance footage can be erased, witnesses may become harder to locate, and memories can fade over time.
Because filing deadlines vary, injured individuals should speak with an attorney as soon as possible to determine what deadlines may apply to their specific case.
Personalized Representation for Injured New Yorkers
Every personal injury case is unique. The Law Office of Gina M. Wicik takes the time to understand how an accident has affected each client’s health, work, finances, and daily life.
We evaluate the circumstances surrounding the accident, available evidence, insurance coverage, medical treatment, lost income, and other damages when developing a strategy for pursuing a personal injury claim.
Our goal is to provide clear guidance, responsive communication, and strong advocacy throughout the legal process.
Common Personal Injury
Cases We Handle
Automobile Accidents
Car accidents are among the most common causes of serious injuries in New York. Collisions caused by speeding, distracted driving, unsafe lane changes, failure to yield, impaired driving, and other negligent behavior can leave victims facing significant medical treatment and financial losses.
If you were injured in a New York car accident, our firm can investigate the circumstances of the crash, review available evidence and insurance coverage, and help you pursue compensation for damages that may be available.
Bicycle Accidents
Bicyclists are especially vulnerable when sharing New York streets with cars, trucks, and other vehicles. Distracted driving, failure to yield, unsafe turns, opening car doors into a cyclist’s path, and other negligent actions can result in serious injuries.
If you were injured in a bicycle accident, the Law Office of Gina M. Wicik can investigate what happened, review available evidence and insurance coverage, and help you pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages that may be available.
Dog Bites
Dog bites and attacks can cause serious injuries, including puncture wounds, nerve damage, infections, scarring, and emotional trauma. Determining responsibility can depend on the circumstances of the attack, the dog’s history, and other factors under New York law.
If you or your child was injured by a dog, Attorney Gina M. Wicik can evaluate the circumstances of the incident, explain your legal options, and help you pursue compensation for the injuries and losses you suffered.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can result in severe and life-changing injuries because riders have far less protection than occupants of passenger vehicles. Collisions caused by distracted driving, unsafe lane changes, failure to yield, speeding, and other negligent conduct can leave injured riders facing extensive medical treatment and time away from work.
If you were injured in a motorcycle accident in New York, our firm can investigate the crash, gather available evidence, evaluate potential sources of insurance coverage, and help you pursue compensation for your accident-related losses.
Pedestrian Injuries
Pedestrians struck by cars, trucks, bicycles, or other vehicles can suffer devastating injuries. New York pedestrian accidents frequently occur at intersections, crosswalks, parking areas, and other locations where drivers fail to see or yield to people on foot.
If you were injured as a pedestrian, the Law Office of Gina M. Wicik can investigate the accident, review available evidence, communicate with insurance companies, and help you pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages that may be available.
Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents
Property owners and others responsible for maintaining premises may have legal obligations to address dangerous conditions. Wet or slippery floors, broken stairs, uneven surfaces, inadequate lighting, snow and ice, and other hazards can lead to serious slip, trip, and fall injuries.
If you were injured because of a dangerous property condition, our firm can investigate what caused the accident, evaluate whether negligence may have contributed to your injuries, and help you understand your options for pursuing a personal injury claim
Truck Accidents
Accidents involving commercial trucks can cause catastrophic injuries because of the size and weight of these vehicles. Truck accident claims can also be more complex than ordinary car accident cases and may involve drivers, trucking companies, vehicle owners, contractors, insurers, or other potentially responsible parties.
If you were injured in a truck accident, Attorney Gina M. Wicik can investigate the circumstances of the collision, identify potentially responsible parties and available insurance coverage, preserve important evidence, and help you pursue compensation for your injuries and losses.
