How to File an Injury Lawsuit in New York

If you are seeking compensation for an injury lawyers triggered by another party's negligence, you may bring a formal lawsuit.

Every personal injury case will be individual and therefore it is impossible for us to predict how the case will last.

There are common signs in litigation that you must be aware as the case progresses through the system.

The Complaint

The Complaint is the first legal document to be filed in a lawsuit. It outlines your legal claims as well as the damages you're seeking, and the manner in which the defendant(s) caused your injuries. It also contains a request to set an appointment date for trial.

The complaint is filed with the court and then served to the defendants. They are given a time limit to submit an answer or a response. This is the time to contest the allegations in the lawsuit and present their defenses. At this point, your lawyer can also make a counterclaim, or a third-party defendant.

Your attorney will support his arguments by citing existing law (including laws and decisions, as well as other cases from the courts in which your case is currently being handled and also cases from other jurisdictions). This will help the judge know why they believe the defendant is responsible for your injuries.

We will then prepare an Bill of Particulars. It is an official document that lists your injuries and their total expense, including the cost of medical expenses, lost wages and other losses in money. We will also prepare an application for relief which provides the amount you are seeking. The demand is based on the medical treatment you received as well as any other evidence you have provided to your lawyer. During the discovery phase, which accounts for most of the lawsuit timeline between us and the defendant will exchange information with the help of various legal tools like interrogatories, admissions requests and requests for the production of documents. We may also depose doctors and experts.

The Notice of Claim

New York law imposes special rules for lawsuits against municipalities and other government entities. These rules stipulate strict deadlines for filing of claims and strict statutes of limitation in the circumstances where a lawsuit could be brought. It is essential to speak with an experienced injury lawyer in these instances.

The first step in the process of claiming against a municipality or another governmental entity is filing a Notice of Claim. The notice must be submitted in written form and notarized. It clearly identifies the person making the claim, and contains enough details about the incident or accident to let the city agency understand who is responsible for damages or injuries, and who is responsible for losses. It also identifies the amount of the claim.

After the City receives the claim it will acknowledge receipt and assign a claim number it. An examiner from the Comptroller's Office will be assigned to examine your claim and seek additional information from you or other sources. When you contact the City regarding your claim, you are asked to provide your claim number as well as the name of the examiner assigned to your case. The examiner will determine if the City is accountable for your damages and, if it is it will determine the amount you're entitled to under the law. If you and the city are not able to reach an agreement the case could go to trial.

The Discovery Phase

The Discovery Phase is an important part of any lawsuit, because it lets you gather information and evidence regarding the other party. It can be done by a variety of methods that include written requests (called "discovery letters") and subpoenas. This process of discovery will help you to build an argument that is convincing and succeed in proving your case.

The first step in the discovery phase is to study the current market conditions. This is accomplished by a knowledgeable team of project managers who examine the market and its competitors to determine the most current trends, as well as the most efficient solutions for your app.

This research also includes interviews with all stakeholders that can help in the success of your project. This includes the owners of the product administrators, end-users, and investors. This information will help you and your team identify the main goals for your project, and how to evaluate success.

A well-organized discovery phase will save you time and money. It will reduce the amount of changes required to the final product, eliminate misunderstandings and give you an official scope document that will help your software vendor determine the development process with precision. This will help you to avoid the dangers of the undefined budget of your project or delays in launching.
