Question 1

How does InjuryCaseHub work?

Accepted Answer

InjuryCaseHub is a free accident intake service. You complete a short form describing your accident, and we review your information to connect you with an experienced personal injury attorney in our network. Our goal is same-day follow-up so you can discuss your legal options quickly.

Question 2

Is there a cost to use this service?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no cost to you for using InjuryCaseHub. Our intake service is completely free. The attorneys in our network typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you recover compensation.

Question 3

How quickly will I hear back?

Accepted Answer

Our goal is to connect you with an attorney within the same business day after you submit your intake form. Response times may vary depending on the complexity of your case and time of submission.

Question 4

Do I need a lawyer after a car accident?

Accepted Answer

While you are not legally required to hire an attorney, having experienced legal representation may help protect your rights and improve your chances of receiving fair compensation. An attorney can handle negotiations with insurance companies, gather evidence, and guide you through the legal process.

Question 5

What if I wasn't driving?

Accepted Answer

Passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, and others injured in car accidents may also have legal claims. You do not need to have been the driver to seek compensation for your injuries. Complete our intake form and an attorney can evaluate your specific situation.

Question 6

Which boroughs do you cover?

Accepted Answer

InjuryCaseHub serves accident victims across all five New York City boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. No matter where your accident occurred in NYC, we can help connect you with an attorney familiar with your area.

Question 7

How long does a personal injury case take in New York?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the complexity of your case. Many straightforward car accident claims settle within 6–18 months. Cases involving serious injuries, disputed liability, or litigation can take 2–3 years or longer. An attorney can give you a more specific estimate based on the facts of your situation.

Question 8

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?

Accepted Answer

Personal injury attorneys in New York typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and no attorney fees unless your case settles or you win at trial. The standard fee is around 33% of the recovery, though it can vary. You owe nothing if you don't win.

Question 9

What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury case in New York?

Accepted Answer

In New York, you generally have 3 years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are important exceptions — claims against government entities may have a much shorter deadline (as little as 90 days to file a notice of claim). Do not wait to consult an attorney.

Question 10

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Accepted Answer

New York follows a "pure comparative negligence" rule. This means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault — your award is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you could still recover $80,000.
