Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York
I was in an accident whereas we were rear ended. I sustained soft tissue injuries. I also have other health issues that the impact has aggravated. The other person has insurance. How can I find an attorney to represent me for my injuries, pain and suffering.

Your best bet is to ask close friends, relatives or neighbors on their fairly recent experience with a capable attorney in your area specializing in personal injury actions. Otherwise, start interviewing a couple of attorneys from Yellow Pages who specialize in the field.
I am sorry to hear about your accident. It is important to speak with an attorney to know what your rights and responsibilities are. DO NOT speak with either insurance company prior to speaking to an attorney as they can be sneaky and have you sign papers giving up you rights before you even have a chance to enforce them. Please get a copy of your police report ASAP. You have 30 days from the date of accident to apply for no fault benefits. This is the most important deadline you have at the moment. Please feel free to contact me for an absolutely FREE consultation. You can call the office on Monday at 347-702-4133 or you can email me at [email protected] anytime with questions. If you want to email me earlier then Monday and wish to leave me a contact number I would be happy to discuss your accident sooner. Best of luck!
