Whether you've been injured in an auto accident or suffered a fall in a business, you may be entitled to compensation for the cost of your medical treatment, lost wages, and, in some cases, for your pain and suffering. Marc D. Orloff, Attorney At Law, an experienced law office serving Goshen residents and their families, recommends consulting a personal injury attorney if you:

• Suffered injuries due to someone else's negligence. Even if your injuries are relatively minor, there is no reason to deal with the consequences of another person's carelessness yourself.
• Your injuries required medical treatment. A trip to the emergency room can cost thousands of dollars, costs for which you may be eligible for compensation.
• The accident resulted in missed work. In most situations, you will be able to receive compensation for lost wages while you're in recovery.
• Your injuries are serious. Many accident victims suffer injuries with long-term, debilitating consequences that can seriously impact the rest of your life. In these cases, your damages will need to cover both you and your family's future.

If you've been dealing with the consequences of an accident, don't delay. Most states have statutes of limitations, after which you likely won't be able to file a claim. Many people hesitate because they aren't sure if they have a case, so consult with a personal injury attorney before it's too late.
