Frequently Asked Questions About The Law Office of Raji S Zeidan PC
Do I have a personal injury case?
A personal injury case may be valid if you've been injured due to another party's negligence. This could occur in various situations, such as car accidents or slip and fall incidents. The key elements are the other party's duty of care, breach of that duty, and the resulting injury. Our law office provides complimentary consultations to assess your situation and recommend appropriate actions.
How much is my case worth?
The value of a personal injury case is determined by several factors, including injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, future care requirements, and pain and suffering. Each case is unique, and our legal team conducts a thorough evaluation of all damages to pursue the maximum compensation you're entitled to receive.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Our law firm operates on a contingency fee basis. This means there are no upfront costs for our clients. Our fees are deducted from the settlement or verdict we secure for you. If we don't win your case, you won't owe us any fees. It's a straightforward arrangement designed to make legal representation accessible.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Each state has a statute of limitations that sets a deadline for filing personal injury lawsuits. While this period is often two to three years from the injury date, it can vary. It's crucial to initiate legal action promptly to preserve your right to seek compensation. Our law office can provide specific guidance based on your case details.
Will I have to go to court?
The majority of personal injury cases are resolved through settlements without court proceedings. However, if a fair settlement can't be reached with the insurance company, our legal team is prepared to take your case to trial and advocate for your rights. We'll provide guidance throughout the entire process, regardless of whether your case settles or goes to court.
Should someone speak to the police after being arrested?
Upon arrest, individuals have the right to remain silent and to consult with an attorney before speaking to law enforcement. Our general advice is to refrain from making statements without your attorney present and their approval. Typically, we advise against providing statements to law enforcement, as it's difficult to predict how information might be used in the case.
Is a restraining order and an order of protection the same? Also, how long do they usually last?
In New York state, the terms 'restraining order' and 'order of protection' are indeed synonymous. These orders can be limited, allowing some contact, or full, prohibiting all contact. The duration of an order of protection can vary based on the specific case and can be reissued for the duration of the legal proceedings.
If I am arrested but not read my Miranda rights, will my charges get dropped?
Contrary to popular belief, failure to read Miranda rights doesn't automatically result in case dismissal. However, if Miranda warnings aren't given, any statements made can't be used as evidence at trial. It's important to consult with an attorney to understand how this might impact your specific case.
Are there alternatives to going to jail or prison?
For many charges, there can be a range of sentencing options available. The district attorney's office and the judge often have discretion in sentencing. An experienced attorney can explore various sentencing scenarios to potentially avoid incarceration. Each case is unique, and outcomes depend on specific circumstances.
Do you offer virtual sessions for consultations?
Our law office is committed to accommodating various appointment types, including virtual consultations. We understand the need for flexibility and are equipped to provide legal advice and discuss case details through remote sessions when necessary or preferred by our clients.
