1. What qualifies as a personal injury case in Harlem?
Any injury caused by someone else’s negligence — car accidents, slip/trip falls, unsafe buildings, construction accidents, or negligent security.
2. How much compensation can I receive?
Damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, future earning loss, pain and suffering, and long-term rehabilitation.
3. Do I pay anything upfront?
No. Personal injury cases are handled on contingency — you pay nothing unless we win.
4. How long do I have to file a claim?
Most NYC personal injury claims must be filed within **3 years**, but many municipal and building-related claims have much shorter deadlines.
5. Should I speak to the insurance company?
No. They aim to limit payouts. Speak to an attorney first.
