Best Personal Injury Lawyers in Brentwood, NY

The simple answer to this question is no. There are times when you will be able to resolve a legal dispute without a lawyer. Unfortunately there rarely are simple cases. When you are a victim of an accident that was caused by the negligence of another, it is extremely important to consult with an attorney to know your legal rights. It is certainly possible that after discussing your case with an attorney that you will decide that you do not need the services of the lawyer. But most times, you will need a lawyer to make sure your rights are protected and that you receive all the compensation that is available to you under the law.

When you are a victim of an accident and sustain a serious injury due to the negligence of another, whether it be an individual or a corporate entity, you can be rest assured that the person who caused the accident has retained a lawyer who is experienced in handling this type of case and whose job it is to limit the amount of compensation that you get. Doing the same and hiring an experienced attorney who has handled the type of case that you have will best serve your interests.

A class action is a lawsuit that allows a large number of people with a common or identical interest to sue. Class actions allow individuals to bring suit together where the matter in controversy may not be economically feasible to bring as an individual. Class actions usually require common questions of law and fact amongst the class members, the class must be so numerous as to make individual suits impractical, the claims of the class members must be typical and the class representatives must adequately protect the interests of the class. Many class actions are brought in federal court and are now subject to the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005. This Act reduced the ability of some class actions to be brought and remain in state court and allows the defendants that are being sued to move or remove state class actions to federal court depending on various factors.
