What can make a case worth more or less
Proof of who was at fault
Police reports, photos, videos, and witnesses can help show who caused the injury.
How much insurance there is
The other side's insurance has a limit. That limit can cap how much gets paid.
What you actually keep
These amounts are before the lawyer's fee, case costs, and medical bills are paid. You keep less.
About this kind of case
How long do car accident cases take?
Many settle in 1 to 3 years. Clear-cut cases can be faster. Serious injuries or arguments about who was at fault can take longer.
What if I was partly at fault?
You can still get money in New York. Your amount goes down by your share of the blame. For example, if you were 20% at fault, you would get 80%.
