How Do I Know If I Have A Good Case?

Every personal injury claim has two controlling factors, which are “injury” and “liability.”


The injury is the harm that you have suffered. It can be a physical injury like a broken leg or mental and emotional trauma that causes lost sleep or nightmares. Often it is a combination of the two. It also can include the loss of a spouse, child or parent which is a claim for wrongful death.


“Almost” or “nearly” may count in a game of horseshoes, but it does not apply to a personal injury claim. What that means is “If the bus hadn’t stopped, I could have been killed” is not the basis for a claim. To make a case you have to have been actually injured.



Liability is the legal responsibility of the person or organization which harmed you. Everyone has had the experience of tripping over their own feet at some point in life, and sometimes when people get badly hurt, it really was not anyone’s fault. Only a trained and experienced attorney can evaluate the question of legal liability. We have on occasion accepted cases that other law firms had rejected because they could not see the liability, and then we have gone forward to settle those claims for hundreds of thousands of dollars. It really does matter who you choose to represent you.

Liability Has Its Limits

Sometimes unfortunately there is a third factor which affects the value of a case. That is simply the question of “who’s paying.” Individuals or corporations always have the option of bankruptcy, which is the legal process of erasing debt. For that reason, it is usually not productive to pursue a claim beyond the available liability insurance.



In New York the legal minimum automobile insurance is $25,000/$50,000, which means a single claimant can receive no more than $25,000 and the total possible for a claim is $50,000. That can cause a very unfair result when, for instance, a whole family is struck by a poorly insured vehicle, and the best that they can ever get is possibly $10,000 each.


To avoid this possibility in terms of automobile accidents anyone who is better insured (say 100/300 coverage) can also purchase supplementary underinsured motorist coverage for a few dollars a year. That means that your own insurer would cover your claim once you have exhausted the other party’s lesser insurance. We recommend purchasing that coverage to anyone who has a car.
