Do I Have a Case?

If you have suffered a serious injury or wrongful death due to someone else's fault in causing an accident, or due to medical malpractice, a defective product or drug, police brutality or any other form of negligence, you have a right to sue for damages for your pain, suffering, mental anguish and loss of enjoyment of life, as well as past and future lost earnings, loss of support, medical bills and any other economic damages you sustain.

Immediate investigation of your case could make the difference between winning and losing. Evidence, records and witnesses can disappear, and critical evidence can be lost.
Some claims must be made within 30-days.

Call us for a free consultation as soon as you can, because time is of the essence.

What to do after an accident

Seek medical attention immediately- victims are often unaware of the extent of their injuries due to shock.

Get information identifying the person that caused the accident and any witnesses and write it down.

Take pictures (with your cell phone if necessary) to document the accident and your injuries.

Write your own account of the accident while it is fresh in your memory and list contact information for any witnesses.

Do not give any verbal or written statements to investigators or insurance companies.

Do not sign any documents offered by insurance adjusters. You could be signing away your rights to receive full compensation.

Contact the Law Firm of Jonathan C. Reiter as soon as you can, so that we can conduct an immediate investigation and file whatever papers are needed to protect your legal rights. A prompt investigation could make the difference between winning and losing your case, so do not delay.

New York Injury Accident Lawyer : Wrongful Death Case

Wrongful Death Case

Wrongful death cases are among the most complex of all personal injury case types. This is partly due to the fact that the dead person is unable to testify to the facts of the accident, thus requiring thorough professional investigation and frequently expert testimony by qualified specialists in accident reconstruction, pathology and other medical specialties.

Additionally, those responsible for the wrongful death may go to great lengths to prove their lack of culpability.  This is particularly true if the guilty parties are large corporations or medical institutions that have the financial backing to vigorously defend their case, even when their liability is obvious. Fortunately an experienced, qualified wrongful death attorney can help the families of the victims of wrongful death to stand up for their rights no matter what their financial circumstances, since the Law Firm of Jonathan C. Reiter advances the costs of litigation and receives a legal fee only after the case is won.

A wrongful death case under New York personal injury law may entitle the family of a fatal accident victim to recover compensatory damages such as loss of financial support, medical expenses, and funeral costs. Children are also entitled to receive substantial damages for the loss of nurture, care and moral guidance of a parent. A wrongful death case may also be joined with a claim for the pain and suffering of the deceased, loss of companionship of a spouse, and in some cases punitive damages.

 A wrongful death lawsuit may be filed by the estate representative of the deceased victim on behalf of the surviving spouse, children, parents or other family members of the decedent. However, there is a limited amount of time allowed to make a filing for this type of case. Therefore, prompt legal action is necessary for ensuring that valuable rights to wrongful death compensation are not lost.

The New York wrongful death lawyers of the Law Firm of Jonathan C. Reiter have over 30 years of experience successfully handling the cases of accident injury victims throughout New York. The firm is committed to providing diligent and compassionate care in representing New York wrongful death clients, and in seeking the maximum compensation allowed for damages incurred due to the untimely loss of their loved ones. Although wrongful death damages cannot fill the void of losing a loved one, it can help alleviate the financial strain caused by a family member’s untimely death.
