Avoid These Common Mistakes After a Personal Injury
If someone else’s negligence injures you in Monroe County, act carefully. Many make mistakes that hurt their chances for fair compensation. Here are common errors to avoid. Also, see how The Nicotra Law Firm can help with your claim.
Delaying Medical Treatment
A major mistake is delaying or skipping medical care. Even minor injuries need prompt attention. This is vital for health. It also creates a record that strengthens your case.
Failing to Gather Evidence
Not collecting evidence at the accident scene is another mistake. You should take photos, get witness contacts, and obtain the police report. This evidence is crucial for proving fault and getting compensation.
Talking to Insurance Adjusters Without a Lawyer
Insurance adjusters often aim to reduce payouts. They might pressure you into accepting low offers. So, avoid talking to them without a lawyer. The Nicotra Law Firm will handle these talks for you. We ensure your rights are protected and you get full compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury in Monroe County
At The Nicotra Law Firm, we understand that navigating the legal system after a personal injury can be confusing and overwhelming. To help you better understand your rights and options, we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions that individuals who have been injured in Monroe County often have. Below are the answers to these common questions:
What should I do if I've been injured in a personal injury accident?
If you’ve been injured in a personal injury accident, the first thing you should do is seek medical attention for your injuries. Once you’ve received medical treatment, it’s important to gather evidence from the scene, including taking photos, obtaining contact information from witnesses, and keeping track of any medical records and expenses.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in New York?
In New York, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is generally three years from the date of the accident. However, it’s important to consult with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to ensure that you meet all deadlines and requirements for filing your claim.
Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Yes, New York follows a comparative negligence system, which means that you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the accident. However, your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you navigate the complexities of comparative negligence and ensure that you receive the maximum compensation available.
How much is my personal injury claim worth?
The value of your personal injury claim will depend on various factors, including the extent of your injuries, the impact they’ve had on your life, and the level of negligence exhibited by the at-fault party. Damages in a personal injury claim may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. An experienced personal injury lawyer can assess the details of your case and provide you with an estimate of the potential value of your claim.
Do I need to go to court to resolve my personal injury claim?
Not necessarily. Many personal injury claims are resolved through negotiations with insurance companies, resulting in a settlement outside of court. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your case may proceed to trial. Regardless of the path your case takes, our team at The Nicotra Law Firm will be with you every step of the way, advocating for your rights and fighting for the compensation you deserve.
