Accidents happen unexpectedly, and the aftermath can be physically, emotionally, and financially overwhelming. Whether you’ve been injured in a car accident, slip and fall, workplace injury, or wrongful death case, you have the right to seek compensation for your losses.
Hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer is the first step in protecting your rights and securing the maximum compensation you deserve.
At Redmond Law Firm, we focus exclusively on personal injury cases, advocating for accident victims throughout New York. Our legal team has a proven track record of fighting insurance companies and winning substantial settlements for our clients.
Why You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer
Many accident victims assume that insurance companies will handle their claims fairly. However, insurers are businesses first—their goal is to minimize payouts and protect their bottom line.
A skilled personal injury lawyer can:
- Negotiate with Insurance Companies – Prevent lowball settlements and ensure fair compensation.
- Prove Liability – Gather evidence, interview witnesses, and consult experts to build a strong case.
- Handle Complex Legal Procedures – File claims, meet deadlines, and comply with legal requirements.
- Take Your Case to Trial if Necessary – If a fair settlement isn’t offered, an attorney will fight for you in court.
