Whether you’re driving a car, crossing the street, or working at your job, there is always the potential for an accident to occur. While you can’t worry about these things, it’s important to know what steps you should take if you do get hurt, especially if it’s because of someone else’s negligence. With the help of a personal injury attorney from Vincent Criscuolo & Associates in Rochester, NY, you can discuss your options after an injury so you can get the compensation you rightfully deserve.

But how can a personal injury lawyer help you if you’ve been injured? First, you’ll need to schedule a consultation with an attorney you can trust and who has experience working with people who have similar injuries as you. From there, you’ll have two options: to take the person responsible for the accident to court or to make a deal (also known as a settlement). 

The first option is typically chosen if the other party doesn’t take responsibility for the accident or will not fully pay for your medical expenses. You’ll need to make a claim against them and create a civil court case. In a court case, your lawyer fees will add up and you’ll have to fill out extra paperwork. Additionally, in a lawsuit, you should be aware you may not win, no matter how hard your personal injury attorney fights for you.

This is often the simplest way to resolve a personal injury claim, not least because it allows you to avoid the stress of bringing the case to court. Once you’ve made the agreement and the deal is on paper, all you’ll need to do is sign and claim your compensation.

Above all, it’s important to find a personal injury attorney you can trust to make sure you get the justice you deserve. If you were hurt because of someone else’s negligence, the team at Vincent Criscuolo & Associates will fight hard to make sure you get a fair settlement. To contact a personal injury and disability attorney at their Rochester law office, visit their website or call (585) 232-3240.
