What is a Personal Injury Claim?
Personal injury claims work to financially compensate an individual who has been injured due to another person or entity’s negligence. Some personal injury cases reach a settlement (with an insurance company, for instance), while others may be brought to court.
There are many different types of personal injury claims. Examples include car accidents, motorcycle crashes, medical malpractice, premises liability, defective product liability, workplace compensation, dog bites, and property damage.
At William Mattar, our legal team handles a variety of personal injury claims for motor vehicle accident victims. Whether it is compensation for hospital bills, lost income, long-term medical treatment, or pain and suffering, our personal injury lawyers fight to get crash victims the compensation they deserve to financially recover.

How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Many people assume that they can’t afford to retain a personal injury lawyer if they’ve sustained a serious injury.
At William Mattar, we’re aware of his common concern and understand why injury victims may hesitate to contact a lawyer. That’s why we believe that everyone should have access to legal representation irrespective of their ability to pay.
With these concerns in mind, William Mattar law offices offers our No Fee Unless We Win, a promise which says that you will not owe us any attorney’s fees unless we settle or win your personal injury case. Instead, our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency-fee-basis, meaning there are no upfront costs and no hidden fees to worry about when you get started with your claim.
How Long Do You Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?
New York State has various statute of limitations for personal injury cases. A statute of limitations is a law dictating how long you have to take certain legal actions— such as filing a claim or lawsuit. However, the relevant statutes may vary from case to case.
The statute of limitations for a personal injury case in New York will vary depending on a number of factors. For instance, if you are filing a wrongful death lawsuit for a personal injury that resulted in a death, the statute of limitations may only be two years. It’s worth speaking with an experienced accident attorney to learn more about the deadlines that may apply to your case.
