What compensation is available for long-term care needs?
Under New York law, individuals injured due to someone else’s negligence can seek compensation covering a wide array of needs. This includes medical expenses for both immediate and future care, lost wages, and other damages like pain and suffering. Specifically, New York’s General Obligations Law § 9-103 provides a basis for claims arising from accidents on certain public properties, although proving negligence remains essential. Securing adequate compensation often requires demonstrating how the injury impacts your daily life and your ability to earn a living.
How can a personal injury lawyer help in securing compensation for long-term care?
A skilled lawyer can guide you through the process, from gathering the necessary medical documentation to negotiating with insurance companies. They will advocate on your behalf, ensuring that all potential costs of your care are considered in any settlement or award. In essence, their role is to maximize your compensation while you focus on recovery.
As long as our legal team can help prove that you were injured as a direct result of another party’s negligence, you should qualify for compensation to help cover the cost of current and ongoing medical treatment.
