Recovering Physical Therapy Costs
High physical therapy and medical costs, lost wages from being out of work, and other damages make it expensive to get injured in New York state. Fortunately, filing a personal injury case can help those who are injured due to the negligence of another party.
According to the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), an average of 8,000 New Yorkers are killed each year from injuries. An additional 115,000 are injured severely enough to require urgent medical care annually.
In these cases, having an experienced and trusted personal injury attorney by your side to maximize your settlement can help you recover financially, enhance your physical recovery, and increase your quality of life.
If you or a loved one are recovering from injuries caused by the negligence of another party, the personal injury lawyers at Sobo & Sobo can help you receive compensation for your damages.

- Premises Liability: Dog bites, slip (trip) and falls, and any other injury sustained due to the failure to follow safety standards by a third party may make victims eligible for compensation.
- Work-Related Injuries: Employers are responsible for ensuring workers are equipped with proper safety tools and equipment. They are also responsible for making sure work areas are hazard-free. Workers injured due to the employer’s negligence to abide by safety standards may receive compensation for injuries, as well as lost wages from days spent out of work.

Personal Injury Lawsuits:
What to Do Before You File
There are certain steps you can take as soon as possible after your accident to maximize your chances of building a successful case—before you file a lawsuit:
- Do NOT let the other party’s insurance company take a recorded statement regarding the accident. This is typically asked by insurance companies so that statements made before consulting with an attorney can be used as evidence that may discredit any recounting of the accident later
- Collect a copy of the police report
- Try to get a recording or hand-written account from any witness of the accident willing to give you a statement
- Many areas are equipped with security cameras to catch people who illegally disregard safety standards. This can be valuable evidence for your case. A personal injury lawyer will be able to help you collect this evidence.
- Keep a detailed record of all medical records relating to your injury, as well as a list of lost working hours and wages that are directly related to any injury.
It is recommended that you enlist the help of a personal injury attorney with years of experience representing those involved in accidents similar to yours. The right lawyer can help you collect all the evidence, paperwork and testimonials you’ll need to build your case, and maximize your settlement.
