Each state has a statute of limitations that establishes a deadline for filing personal injury lawsuits. While this period is typically two to three years from the date of injury in many states, it can vary. It's crucial to take prompt action to preserve your right to seek compensation within the applicable legal timeframe.

The majority of personal injury cases are resolved through settlements without court proceedings. However, if the insurance company fails to offer a fair settlement, we are fully prepared to litigate your case in court to protect your rights. Our team will provide guidance and support throughout the entire process, regardless of the path your case takes.

Upon arrest, it's essential to remember your constitutional rights, including the right to remain silent and the right to legal counsel before speaking with law enforcement. Our general advice is to refrain from making any statements until you've consulted with your attorney, who can determine if it's appropriate for you to speak. In most cases, we advise against providing statements to law enforcement, as any information could potentially be used against you in legal proceedings.

In New York state, the terms 'restraining order' and 'order of protection' are indeed synonymous. These orders can be categorized as limited, allowing some contact, or full, prohibiting all contact. The duration of an order of protection can vary and may be extended for the entire duration of a case. The specific length depends on the nature of the case involved and the court's determination.

Contrary to popular belief, failure to read Miranda rights does not automatically result in case dismissal. However, if law enforcement neglects to inform you of your Miranda rights, the prosecution cannot use any statements you made as evidence in court. It's important to understand that while this oversight can impact the admissibility of certain evidence, it doesn't necessarily lead to the dismissal of all charges.

For many charges, if a person is convicted, there are often various sentencing options available. The district attorney's office typically has a range of sentence offers they can propose, and judges also have discretion in imposing sentences. It's crucial to have an experienced attorney who can explore all potential sentencing scenarios to maximize the chances of avoiding incarceration.
