How to choose a lawyer in Rego Park
Choose a lawyer whose practice centers on personal injury, not one who handles it occasionally. Ask about their trial record and whether they take cases to court when needed. Get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays case costs. Ask who will actually handle your case day to day, and whether an associate or paralegal will do most of the work. Confirm the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Meet or speak with them before signing, and make sure the agreement is clear to you.
What to do after an accident in Rego Park

Avoid admitting fault and decline recorded statements from insurers until you have advice. New York's filing deadline is 3 years from the date of injury, so do not let time pass without acting.
