When a New York construction accident attorney gets involved in a lawsuit it is typically because there is a construction accident at a construction site in New York. And when there is an accident in a or at a construction site in York, it is important to document all of the events that led or give rise to the accident. This is so that your attorney will be able to concisely and very clearly identify what the issues are, what the gaps are, what the information here she needs is or are, and then the people that could be potentially responsible for compensating you for your injury. This is important so that the case can get efficiently and effectively resolved. And the resolution is very important and you have more than 90% of cases in New York get settled out of court. And this is important because there is or there is a lot of work that has been done ahead of time, to create the best possible case for your recovery in the context of a construction site accident in New York.
When our New York construction accident attorney first gets the file, here she should review the facts that are pertinent to the particular case. It is important to get the facts together, because those facts could potentially give us a liability against the defendant. And the defendant in any given case could include the property owner, the property manager, or other potential responsible parties. Once the demand letter goes out to these parties, it is a fact that the insurance company that covers those parties will also become involved. And once the insurance companies become involved, then it is typically a matter of numbers. I wanted it’s a matter of numbers, it’s a very cut and dry discussion. There are a lot of formulas that involve, and risk analysis, and once those risk analyses are performed, the insurance companies assign a dollar amount to the accident and to the recovery for the accident, and that is where the discussions occur.
In New York construction accident attorney should be familiar with working with attorneys for insurance companies. We have TheLawyerJames certainly are, and we have attorneys who have worked with insurance companies before and this is important because there are a lot of insurance companies and their attorneys who cover insurance related payments to victims or people who involved in a construction accent in New York. And New York is an interesting place to be, because there’s a lot of construction that goes on. When there’s construction that goes on, there’s a lot of workers that also go to work at construction sites. And when there’s a lot of workers at construction sites, they could conduct themselves in such a way they can create a dangerous working environment, and because of their is a dangerous work environment or a potentially dangerous work environment there could be a lot of potential accidents or at least some potential accidents. Of course the goal is to get to no accidents.
Once you’re in New York construction accident attorney reviews everything they will probably have some questions to follow up with you about. This is no problem because what they are trying to do is to refine the facts of your case so that you can get the best and highest amount of recovery possible in the shortest amount of time. Once this information gets put together, your attorney, particularly if you have a good case, should consider sending a demand letter for us to the potential responsible parties, this is so that the ball can get growing fairly quickly. And this is important to know so that you put the other side on notice that there is a pending lawsuit, and since so many cases settle out of court, this means that it’s good to have all the information that you have when you have the first discussion or first contact with the other side.
Just because your New York construction accident attorney sent a demand letter to the other side doesn’t mean that the other side will even respond. Sometimes we have TheLawyerJames send demand letters and they go on answers. When they go unanswered, it is of course frustrating, but it just means that we need to take the matter to the next level. And will we take the matter to the next level, it typically means that we file a lawsuit. Because once we file a lawsuit, the other side is compelled to attend or at least the Pierre in the lawsuit once they are surge. If they do not appear once they are served, then they risk that a default judgment get entered against them. But even though there is a default judgment or in the event that there’s a default judgment, it doesn’t mean that without more effort, the person is just going to pay.
Your New York construction accident attorney should tell you that there are risks associated with commencing a lawsuit. And those risks include not being able to recover against a potentially responsible party. This is also another reason why this process should be commenced fairly quickly, particularly when the construction company has been newly created, or is not established, or could simply shut down and run out of money. Of course this is not a good situation for someone who has been injured and is trying to get compensation for their injury due to a construction site accident in New York. It’s also very important not to get terribly emotional about these types of things. That is, of course, very difficult. When someone is injured, is out of work, has no income, and needs to support a family. These are terrible situations to be in and it’s critical that the attorney be mindful of the timeline, and the amount of recovery that should be pursued. If necessary, after sending the demand letter, to go to court, a summons and complaint will be filed with the court. After the summons and complaint is filed, then it is served, and then the lawsuit is underway and the timeline or at least the deadline for the defenders the answer has been set.
