What is a Contingency Fee Model for Car Accident Lawyers?

We work on what's called a contingency fee basis. This means that you don't pay any upfront fees for legal representation. Instead, our payment is contingent on winning your case or securing a settlement. Under this model, you pay nothing unless you win. If your case is successful, our fees are typically a percentage of the settlement or court award. This arrangement allows accident victims like you to access high-quality legal representation without worrying about out-of-pocket expenses during a potentially challenging financial time.

Compensation You May Be Entitled to After a Car Accident in New York

At Kelner & Kelner, we understand a car accident's far-reaching consequences on your life. As experienced New York car accident lawyers, we're committed to helping our clients understand and pursue the full range of compensation they may be entitled to following a car accident. Let's explore the various types of damages you might be able to claim.

Medical Bills

Medical expenses often form a substantial part of car accident claims. These can include emergency room visits, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and future medical treatments related to your injuries. Our New York personal injury lawyers work with medical professionals to accurately project your long-term medical needs and ensure these are factored into your compensation claim.

Lost Wages 

If your injuries prevent you from working, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages. This includes income lost due to time off work for recovery, as well as any bonuses or commissions you missed out on. In cases of severe injuries that impact your ability to work long-term, you may also be able to claim compensation for loss of earning capacity.

Pain and Suffering

Pain and suffering falls under non-economic damages and is meant to address the physical pain and emotional distress you've experienced. Factors influencing these damages include the severity of your injuries, the length of your recovery period, and any permanent effects. While challenging to quantify, our New York personal injury attorneys have extensive experience in valuing these claims to ensure fair compensation.

Emotional Distress

Closely related to pain and suffering, emotional distress damages compensate for the psychological impact of the accident. This can include anxiety, depression, PTSD, and fear of driving. Documenting these symptoms with professional help can be crucial in supporting your claim.

Loss of Enjoyment of Life

If your injuries prevent you from engaging in activities you previously enjoyed, you may be entitled to compensation for loss of enjoyment. This could apply to sports, travel, social events, or hobbies. We take the time to understand how your injuries have impacted your lifestyle and ensure this is reflected in your claim.

Property Damage

You're entitled to compensation for damage to your vehicle and any other personal property in the car at the time of the accident. This includes repairs, replacement if the vehicle is totaled, rental car costs, and damage to personal items.

Loss of Consortium

In cases of severe injuries, your spouse may be able to claim compensation for loss of consortium, which refers to the loss of companionship, affection, and intimacy resulting from serious injuries.

Punitive Damages

In cases where the at-fault party's behavior was particularly reckless, you may be able to claim punitive damages. These are intended to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.

No-Fault Benefits in New York

New York is a no-fault insurance state, meaning your own insurance company will cover some expenses regardless of fault. However, if your injuries meet certain thresholds, you may be able to pursue a claim against the at-fault driver for additional compensation.

How a Contingency Based Car Accident Lawyer Can Help

Let's explore how our team at Kelner & Kelner can assist you through this challenging time, all without any upfront costs.

Comprehensive Car Accident Case Evaluation with No Upfront Fees

When you come to Kelner & Kelner, we begin with a thorough evaluation of your case. This includes:

• Listening to your account of the accident
• Reviewing police reports and witness statements
• Examining medical records related to your injuries
• Assessing the impact of the accident on your life and work

This comprehensive evaluation allows us to determine the strength of your case and develop an effective legal strategy. Because we work on contingency, we're incentivized to give you an honest assessment - we only take on cases we believe we can win.

Gathering and Preserving Car Accident Evidence in New York

Crucial evidence can disappear quickly after an accident. Our team acts swiftly to:

• Obtain and analyze surveillance footage
• Collect and preserve physical evidence from the accident scene
• Interview witnesses while their memories are fresh
• Secure expert testimony when necessary

By working on contingency, we're able to invest the necessary resources into gathering this evidence without asking you to pay anything upfront.

Handling All Car Accident Lawsuit Communications

After an accident, insurance adjusters may contact you, the other party's lawyers, or other involved parties. These interactions can be stressful and potentially detrimental to your case if not handled correctly. When you work with Kelner & Kelner:

• We handle all communications related to your case
• You're protected from potentially manipulative tactics by insurance companies
• You can focus on your recovery while we manage the legal aspects of your situation
• Accurate Calculation of Damages From the Car Accident

Determining the full extent of your damages is crucial for securing fair compensation. As your contingency-based lawyers, we meticulously calculate all potential damages, including:

• Current and future medical expenses
• Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Other accident-related expenses

Our car accident lawsuit experience and resources allow us to accurately project long-term costs, ensuring we seek compensation that reflects the accident's impact on your life.

Skilled Negotiation with Insurance

Insurance companies often try to settle claims quickly and for as little money as possible. Our contingency fee arrangement motivates us to negotiate for the maximum possible settlement. We bring to the table:

• Years of experience in dealing with insurance companies
• A thorough understanding of New York car accident laws
• A reputation for aggressive advocacy on behalf of our clients

If the insurance company isn't willing to offer a fair settlement, we'll take your case to court.

Court Representation

While many car accident cases settle out of court, sometimes litigation is necessary to secure fair compensation. If your case goes to trial, Kelner & Kelner will:

• Prepare and file all necessary legal documents
• Develop a compelling court strategy
• Present your case persuasively to a judge and jury
• Handle any appeals if necessary

Our contingency fee arrangement means you don't have to worry about mounting legal bills as your case progresses through the court system.
