Why You Should Hire a Catskills Personal Injury Lawyer

If you have suffered an injury in a car crash, slip and fall accident, or due to a medical error, the only thing you should be focused on is healing. But the steps you take immediately following a personal injury accident can dramatically impact the outcome of your case. That’s why hiring a Catskills personal injury lawyer is so important.

At The The Law Offices of Evan W. Kohn, we will thoroughly analyze your claim to determine fault and calculate damages. Then our attorneys will gather evidence to substantiate your claim and negotiate with the insurance company for the maximum settlement. Although we always wish to settle out of court, our highly-skilled injury team is prepared to take your case to trial and fight aggressively to get you every dime you deserve. You’ve been through enough, let us handle the rest.

Don’t make the mistake of accepting the insurance company’s initial settlement offer without legal counsel by your side. Insurance companies know how desperately injury victims need to deposit that settlement check. They take advantage of their vulnerability by offering unreasonably-low settlements, knowing that claimants without representation are likely to accept much less than they deserve.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

At the The Law Offices of Evan W. Kohn, our skilled Catskills legal team handles every type of personal injury matter that exists, from slip and fall and product liability accidents, to nursing home negligence and wrongful death. However, the most common cases we handle involve: 

Auto Accidents

Car crashes, commercial truck collisions, motorcycle accidents, taxi/rideshare accidents, and other types of motor vehicle accidents are among the nation’s leading causes of accidental injury and death. In Catskills, traffic accident-related injuries are the second leading cause of injury hospitalizations.

If you’ve been injured in any type of auto accident, you may be able to obtain substantial compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related damages. There are steps you can take in the minutes, days, and weeks following a motor vehicle accident to protect your rights and get the compensation you deserve. Contact an Catskills personal injury lawyer today to determine how to proceed.

Medical Errors and Malpractice

Medical mistakes can occur without fault, but negligence-based medical errors are a leading cause of injury and death in the United States. When medical negligence results in harm, those responsible should be held accountable. Medical malpractice lawsuits are highly complex. If you or a loved one has been injured due to a delayed or mis-diagnosis, medication error, birth injuries, or another medical mistake, it is in your best interest to seek legal counsel from an injury attorney with extensive experience in medical malpractice.

Construction Accidents and Other Work Injuries

It is a well-known fact that construction is an inherently dangerous occupation. Even so, many of the thousands of annual construction injuries (and fatalities) are largely preventable. Whether your construction injury was due to improperly-erected scaffolding, inadequate supervision, or lack of training, it is in your best interest to seek legal counsel from an experienced Catskills personal injury lawyer.

Construction is one of the most dangerous industries, but it is far from the only occupation to report thousands of annual injuries. In fact, musculoskeletal injuries suffered at office jobs are one of the most common workers’ compensation claims each year.

What To Do If you Have Suffered a Personal Injury in Catskills, NY

Although the steps you take after an injury accident vary slightly based on the type and severity of your injury, the following tips can help you after any injury accident.

• Document the scene of the accident to the best of your ability. If you are able to do so, take pictures of any visible injuries and contributing factors, such as a spill on the grocery store floor, or a stop sign blocked by a tree;
• If any witnesses were present, ask for their names and contact info;
• If injuries are serious, or if you have been involved in any type of motor vehicle accident, call 911;
• Seek medical attention, even if injuries aren’t immediately apparent. Certain serious injuries, such as internal bleeding and soft-tissue damage, may not produce symptoms for days or weeks; and
• Consult with a personal injury attorney immediately.
