- Work to maximize your compensation – Too many people assume that insurance companies will give them a fair amount of compensation.

We understand insurance companies and how they operate. We will stand up for you, and we will help you get the compensation you deserve.
- Answer your questions and provide personalized service – A personal injury claim can be a confusing and overwhelming time. An attorney can answer any questions you have, explain how the law works in your case, and guide you through the claim process from start to finish.

Can I Get Compensation for a Personal Injury?
In Queens, these types of compensation may be available to you in a personal injury case after an accident:
- Any medical costs related to your injuries – A personal injury lawsuit may include compensation for the medical treatment you need after an accident. A lawsuit may also cover the future medical care your injuries need.
- The wages and employment opportunities you lose because of your injuries – Injuries can take you out of work for a lengthy period and prevent you from advancing in your career. Compensation may cover these losses.
- Any loss of consortium caused by the accident – Serious injuries can hurt your marriage. You may not be able to participate in your marriage as you used to, and you may not be able to provide the support your spouse needs. Under those scenarios, your spouse might be eligible for compensation.

What to Do After an Accident
In the stressful time after a serious accident, take these steps to help protect your rights:
- If you have suffered an injury, get emergency services on the scene. Medical personnel who arrive at the accident scene can tend to your injuries. Even if you think you are okay, some injuries are not immediately apparent. It is vital to get a thorough medical review as soon as possible.
- Document the accident scene with photos. In a matter of minutes, an accident scene can change rapidly. Businesses may put up warning signs and crews may clean up debris. In no time at all, the scene can look very different from the time when your accident happened. If you can do so, quickly take photos of the accident scene. Those photos can be a key part of your personal injury claim.
- Get the contact information for anyone who saw what happened. Witnesses who saw the accident happen can become an essential part of your claim. If possible, get their contact information before they leave.
- Keep a journal of how you feel. The pain from your injuries may take time to show up, and your recovery may take days or weeks. Use a notebook or diary to keep track of the pain and suffering you are experiencing.
- Talk with a Queens personal injury attorney. As you recover, a lawyer at The Tadchiev Law Firm, P.C., can tell you what is needed to build your personal injury claim and guide you throughout the legal process.

What Do You Have to Prove in a Personal Injury Claim?
In New York, you must prove these four elements for a successful personal injury claim:
- Someone owed you a duty of care. You must show that someone had a responsibility to look out for your safety and well-being. For example, another driver on the road may have a duty to look out for your safety. A business that is open to the public may also have a responsibility to keep you safe.
- That person or organization failed in the duty to keep you safe. You must show that someone acted inappropriately or failed to act as they should have. For example, a store must keep its premises safe for use by members of the public. Suppose a store does not repair a broken step in its upstairs showroom. By not taking care of that dangerous condition, the store may have violated its responsibility to keep you safe.
- The person’s or organization’s failures are linked to the injury. To prove this element, you must show your injuries were caused by the responsible party’s failure to act. In the case of the broken stairs, you would have to show it was foreseeable that the unrepaired step would cause you to fall.
- You suffered damages. The final element you must prove is that you suffered damages because of your accident. Personal injury lawyers can use medical reports, documented property losses, and many other items to prove that you suffered injuries or losses because of your accident.
