Best Personal Injury Lawyers in Syracuse, NY

You should not speak with an insurance adjuster. Although they may reach out appearing friendly and sympathetic, they are hoping to get a statement out of you that would limit the responsibility (liability) of their insured. Tell the insurance adjuster to contact your attorney. If you do not have an attorney, you can tell them to reach out to your insurance company directly. If an attorney for someone else contacts you, the same rules apply.

If you were not at fault for the accident you can still recover damages from the at-fault party. They may be reduced to account for your pre-existing condition, but you can hold them responsible for aggravating your condition.

The majority of personal injury cases are settled before going to trial however sometimes settling out of court is not an option. A few reasons why your case could go to trail are: The defendant offers an unreasonable settlement or does not offer any settlement The plaintiff (victim) wants to go to trial The insurance company does not accept responsibility and says the injured person is at fault or contributed to the accident Damages are disputed
