Frequently Asked Questions

Common Legal Questions

Why do I need a car accident lawyer; can’t I just call the insurance company myself and try to get a settlement?
Insurance companies have skilled attorneys working to protect them as well as adjusters whose job it is to resolve claims for as little money as possible. Car accident victims representing themselves will usually be at a significant disadvantage. You should have skilled personal injury attorneys at your side, like those at Oresky & Associates, fighting for your rights, with a proven track record of obtaining over $300 Million Dollars in verdicts and settlements for New York accident victims. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation with an experienced New York car accident attorney.
Can I bring a car accident lawsuit if I am undocumented?
Personal injury lawsuits can be brought without regard to your immigration status. Even if you are undocumented you have the right to sue for money damages for lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering.
What is the Average Settlement for a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?
Since medical malpractice covers such a wide variety of injuries and scenarios, there is no average settlement amount for a medical malpractice lawsuit. Furthermore, many individual factors can affect a settlement’s amount, such as the injury’s permanence and impact on your job and whether your case settles out of court. When thinking about your malpractice case, remember that it is a  personal injury with losses. Malpractice is then subcategorized into different types, each with its own area.  To learn more, please read our full article here.
How does a medical malpractice lawsuit work?
Medical malpractice lawsuits usually begin with an insurance claim. Your attorney will attempt to prove your case and negotiate a settlement that covers your damages. If obtaining compensation outside of court is not an option, you can pursue a civil suit. Want to find out more? Read our full article here.
Why should I contact a spinal cord injury attorney after a spinal cord accident?
The challenges that a spinal cord victim faces are ongoing and life-changing. A skilled attorney who can fight for your rights, compensation, and continuing medical expenses is invaluable.
Will my car accident case go to trial?
Most car accident cases settle before trial, however, you must be prepared to go all the way to jury verdict. If the defense counsel or the insurance adjuster senses that you are not ready to go the distance, they will try and settle for less than full value. Make sure your case is prepared to go all the way.
What should I do after a car accident?
After a car accident, you should always call for help. While you wait for help to arrive, check for injuries—both your own and those of others involved in the collision. Be sure to accept necessary medical attention from any paramedics on the scene and follow up with a health care provider as soon as possible in the days following the accident. Last but not least, connect with a lawyer––and do it fast. Get more information on what to do after an auto accident by reading our full post.
Do I Need A Personal Injury Lawyer?
You do not need a personal injury lawyer, but one can benefit you in many ways following an accident resulting in serious physical harm. Severe injuries can lead to expensive medical care, extended absences from work, pain and suffering, and other damages. Read our full article to find out more about when it's right to hire a personal injury lawyer.

How We Recover Money Damages in Nursing Home Abuse Cases

Your loved one is injured and now you are faced with expenses for medical treatment, relocation, and other losses, not to mention the pain and suffering of such a traumatic event.

A nursing home abuse attorney will build a case to prove liability. We know how to investigate nursing home abuse cases with a careful process that includes:

  • Reviewing medical records, test results and reports to understand the full extent of the injury
  • Requesting information on the facility and caregivers, including training, background checks, and previous violations
  • Securing testimony from medical experts, witnesses, and police (or other first responders)
  • Taking photos or videos of your loved one’s injuries, torn clothes, and other photographic evidence of abuse or neglect

Our firm understands nursing home abuse and neglect cases and relevant state and federal regulations. We can report nursing home abuse to the proper authorities as we work to recover damages on your behalf.

Why Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Occurs

Nursing home abuse and neglect may constitute criminal acts. A nursing home abuse lawyer can report what happened to the appropriate agencies. You and your loved one have the right to pursue damages when a nursing home fails to uphold its duty to protect a resident from harm.

There is no excuse for abusing the most vulnerable citizens.  Often times neglect may be caused by:

  • Inadequate training
  • Insufficient staff that leads to a high caregiver-to-resident ratio
  • Incomplete background checks
  • Negligent supervision of residents, leading to violence or abuse between residents
  • High employee turnover

Warning Signs: How to Recognize Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Abusive caregivers tend to gravitate toward victims who are socially isolated or who are physically or cognitively challenged. That is why our nursing home abuse attorneys want you to be aware of the warning signs of abuse, including:

  • Unexplained bruises, burns, or falls
  • Dirty, unkempt appearance and living space
  • Missing money or valuables
  • Appearing fearful or agitated when abuser is present
  • Withdrawing from favorite activities or refusing a telephone or in-person visit

If you suspect that your loved one is the victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, do not wait. It is better to be proactive than regret inaction if tragedy strikes.
