justice they deserve.
Two decades ago, Steven Palermo began his legal practice with one objective: to help those in need obtain the justice they deserve. It was not long before he was taking on huge corporations and billion-dollar insurance companies, fighting for just that.
Early on, he learned that the field of personal injury law was one that required laser focus – it was the only way to navigate the huge companies who viewed his clients as nothing but a number on a page, but had seemingly limitless resources to fight against paying them what they deserved. Steven has since devoted all his efforts to the aggressive practice of personal injury litigation, and it is a strategy that works. He has helped hundreds of clients regain their lives after devastating personal injuries.

Why You Should Hire A Lawyer For Your Hauppauge Car Accident Case
In New York State, you are allowed to represent yourself when pursuing financial compensation for your injuries. While insurance companies may seem like they are there to help, their primary interest is to reduce the money that they pay out on claims. Therefore, they’ve created a web of red tape that you must cut through to just get the Benefits you are entitled to. You may find the forms you submit get rejected over and over again. When you eventually get through all that red tape you will be in another challenging situation when the settlement the insurance company offers you is not enough to cover all of your accident-related expenses. In many cases, even though the other party is at fault for your crash, their carrier may choose to claim that you were primarily at fault so that their policy does not have to pay out.
A law firm that is experienced will be able to combat all of these circumstances. They are able to investigate your claim and compile necessary evidence to get you compensation. Figuring out what would be considered a good settlement in a case involves countless factors. The right Hauppauge car accident attorney can identify when a settlement offer is too low and what the right numbers are and can negotiate aggressively with the insurance company. Their resources and knowledge allow them to pursue the best settlement possible so that your expenses are covered.
