The Importance of Hiring a Good Personal Injury Lawyer in New York

Personal injury lawyer advising a Hispanic client in a modern legal office in New York.

Being involved in an accident can bring serious physical, emotional, and financial consequences. Many people try to resolve their case directly with the insurance company, not realizing this could cost them thousands of dollars. At Proner & Proner, we know that having a personal injury lawyer can be the difference between receiving the compensation you deserve or settling for less.

What does a personal injury lawyer do?

An experienced lawyer protects your rights by:

  • Evaluating the medical and legal aspects of your case,
  • Calculating the real value of your compensation, not just what the insurer offers,
  • Negotiating with the insurance company to prevent unfair treatment,
  • Collecting strong evidence such as medical reports, accident photos, and witness statements,
  • Representing you in court if necessary.

A good lawyer doesn’t just handle your case, they protect your future.

What happens if you handle the case without a lawyer?

Trying to manage a case alone can be risky. Without legal support, you might:

  • Accept a much lower settlement than you deserve,
  • Make legal mistakes or sign something that harms your rights,
  • Overlook future costs like ongoing therapy or lost income,
  • Say something the insurance company can later use against you.

Insurance companies have legal teams. You should have yours too.

With 30 years of experience winning top settlements, we know how to deal with insurance companies and the legal system. You’re in the best hands with us.

At Proner & Proner, we are committed to defending our clients with strength and experience. We specialize in:

  • Recovering millions of dollars for accident victims in New York,
  • Serving the Hispanic community in Spanish with professionalism and empathy,
  • Working on a contingency basis — we don’t charge unless we win your case.

When should you contact a lawyer?

Missing the legal deadline can mean losing everything:

  • Your case may be automatically dismissed by the court.
  • The insurance company won’t be required to pay you.
  • Even if the accident was someone else’s fault, you could lose all rights to compensation.
