Tell Us Your Story

Accidents can be complicated and loaded with pitfalls because both healthcare and the law are tricky. Your initial, person-to-person consultation with a Sobo lawyer will clear some things up, right away. It’s free and you have no obligation after sitting down with us. We’ll help.

In this first chat and soon thereafter, we’ll:

  • Explain your rights
  • Find follow-up medical care and testing
  • Arrange emergency financing if available
  • Discuss your special circumstances
  • Walk you through the legal process, step by step
  • Plan and prepare to pursue your case

Money Damages

The victims of accidents are entitled to compensation for their losses. The amount of money paid to victims varies based on the severity of damages, injury and other losses suffered.

Your Sobo & Sobo lawyer will explain:

  • Medical Expenses: Getting them Paid
  • Lost Wages: What You are Owed
  • Property Damage: Fixing or Replacing Your Vehicle
  • Pain & Suffering: Discomfort, Anxiety and More

Legal Fees

We represent clients on a contingent basis. That means we do not collect any money until your case is won and money damages are paid. We receive a portion of those damage payments only after they are finalized. So, you are never “out of pocket” any money to us.

FAQ in Personal Injury Cases

personal injury lawyers in new york, new jersey, Illinois and connecticut

A personal injury case arises when someone is injured due to another person or entity’s negligence or intentional actions. Personal injury cases can include car accidents, slip and fall incidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and more.

Sobo & Sobo handles a wide range of personal injury cases, including but not limited to:

  • Car accidents
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Medical malpractice
  • Workplace injuries
  • Product liability
  • Dog bites
  • Wrongful death

To have a valid personal injury claim, you must be able to demonstrate that:

  • The defendant owed you a duty of care.
  • The defendant breached that duty through negligence or intentional actions.
  • The breach directly caused your injuries.
  • You suffered damages as a result of the injury.

While it’s possible to handle a personal injury claim on your own, it’s not recommended. Personal injury cases can be complex and challenging to navigate without legal expertise. An experienced attorney can help maximize your compensation and ensure your rights are protected.

The statute of limitations for personal injury claims varies by state, typically ranging from two to four years from the date of the injury. For example, New York claimants have 3 years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit before it’s dismissed. However, New Jersey and Chicago residents only have 2 years to file an injury claim. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney in your state to understand the specific deadlines applicable to your case, and whether exceptions can be made in some circumstances.

If you were injured on someone else’s property due to unsafe conditions, you might have a premises liability claim. Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe conditions and warning visitors of potential hazards.

Yes, if you are injured at work, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. In some cases, you may also have a personal injury claim if a third party’s negligence contributed to your injury.

You will never owe our personal injury lawyers anything out-of-pocket. Instead, they’re only paid if they win, and only through a portion of your settlement. This gives you more financial freedom and peace of mind throughout the legal process, so you can focus on your recovery.

Probably not. Most cases at Sobo & Sobo settle without a trial. In the rare case where there is a trial, we do our best to make the experience a positive one.

The time to resolve a personal injury case can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and whether the case goes to trial. Some cases may settle within a few months, while others can take years.

You may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Property damage
  • Any other accident-related expenses

Social media can impact your personal injury case negatively. Insurance companies and defense attorneys may use your social media posts to undermine your claim. It’s best to avoid posting about the accident, your injuries, or your case online.
