| Description: | After a car accident in Long Island, it’s imperative that you seek medical attention as soon as possible — ideally, at the scene of the collision. By seeking medical attention as soon as possible, you can get severe injuries documented, and the insurance company can’t say you suffered those injuries in a later incident. Your lawyer may also work with other experts, such as psychologists, to determine how much your serious injury has altered your life. They may testify that such serious injuries have severely afflicted your mental and emotional well-being, and you, therefore, deserve compensation for pain and suffering. New York State is one of the very few that doesn’t put an explicit restriction on damages. |
