Have you been in a car accident and sustained injuries? Have you been injured because of an unsafe condition?
At McCann Legal, P.C., we are passionate about fighting for you so that you can get back to living your life. We have the knowledge and experience to support you in proving your case.
Our goals for every injury case are to identify all possible sources of money and to extract as much money as we can for you, to help you hold on to as much of that money as possible by negotiating unpaid medical bills or liens, and to relieve you of the burden of dealing with insurance companies so you can focus on getting better.
HOW DO WE EVALUATE INJURY CASES?
First, we determine who was at fault. For car accident cases, even if you were partially or mostly at fault, New York law allows you to recover damages up to your percentage of fault. Often, insurance companies will try to convince you that since you contributed to your accident, that you will not receive a dime. For slip and fall or trip and fall cases, we need to determine who owned, maintained, repaired, or was otherwise responsible for the area you sustained your injury.
Second, we get an idea of your current and past injuries to assess the damage you sustained. If you haven't had a serious injury, a personal injury case will not be very productive as the only compensation you can receive is for damages and injuries that we are able to prove.
Third, we obtain all of your medical records so that documentation and proof of your injuries can be shown to the insurance company, or if they do not agree to pay, to a jury. Often, insurance companies will have their own formulas for allowing or denying certain claims for injuries, and these formulas may not be based upon any medical reasoning at all.
Finally, we determine if there are any liens, or amounts paid by your personal insurance or Medicare, that may need to be paid back. We will negotiate and fight for every dollar to be put kept in your pocket that we can.
Contact us today if you have been injured in a car accident or due to an unsafe condition. There is Zero risk to you, we only get paid if we win your case.
We give injured people a chance to tell their stories to insurance companies and juries so they can get paid the money they are owed.
