Frequently Asked Questions
-
Where In New York Does Restivo & Murphy LLP Represent Clients?We represent clients throughout all of New York's 5 boroughs, as well as in Long Island, Suffolk County, and Nassau County.

-
How Do I Know If I Have A Claim?Although accidents happen all the time, there are certain requirements for a legal claim. The most important factor is that the accident was caused by someone else's negligence. If we can establish conclusively that someone else did something caused your accident and injuries, we might have a claim. Further, you must have suffered damages. Our lawyers focus on cases involving serious injuries and losses resulting from construction accidents, auto accidents, and related claims.
-
If The Insurance Company Has Already Offered Me A Settlement, Why Do I Need An Attorney?This is one of the most common personal injury questions we see, and it is also one of the costliest mistakes we see accident victims make. Almost invariably, an insurance company settlement offer will be much less than what a claim is truly worth. Although the offer might seem generous at the time, it will most likely not come close to covering the long-term medical costs, lost wages, and other damages you could receive in litigation. Insurance companies do not stay in business by overpaying on claims of this kind. You need lawyers who are on your side.
-
What Should I Bring When Visiting An Attorney For The First Time?You should bring all the information you have regarding your accident, including copies of your medical bills; a list of all your doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers (with addresses); and your last three years of tax returns, if you have lost wages as a result of the incident. Depending on the nature of your case, we may ask you to bring additional information while we are setting up your free consultation.
-
Are Personal Injury Cases Expensive? And What If We Lose My Case?A common worry for our personal injury clients is the financial risk of bringing a lawsuit. We won’t lie to you – with its extensive research, case preparation, court time, and ancillary costs, litigation is expensive. At Restivo & Murphy LLP, however, we know you’re facing enough financial hardship and we believe injury victims should not have to shoulder the financial burden of a lawsuit. Consequently, we take cases on contingency, which means our costs are contingent upon — or based on a percentage of — what we win for our clients. With this fee arrangement and the free consultations we offer our clients, you will not have to pay any attorney fees unless and until we obtain compensation for you.
-
How Long Do I Have To File A Claim?The filing deadline is different for different types of cases, but there is a statute of limitations on most civil claims. If you fail to file a personal injury claim within 3 years of your accident, for instance, you could lose your opportunity to obtain compensation. Time passes quickly, and an expired deadline could jeopardize your right to legal action. That’s why we encourage you to get started ASAP.
