Carner & DeVita is here for you every step of the way

At Carner & DeVita, we aim to make every client feel safe and cared for throughout our partnership. Here’s how we assist clients through the legal process.

Thorough case evaluation

We offer free consultations to understand the details of your accident and injuries fully. This crucial first step helps us determine potential avenues for compensation and lays the groundwork for a strong case.

Evidence collection

Proving negligence and liability is key, and we meticulously gather all necessary documentation, including police reports, medical records, eyewitness accounts, and, when required, expert testimony.

Dealing with insurance companies

Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. Our skilled attorneys work tirelessly on your behalf, handling all communications and negotiations with insurers to ensure that the compensation reflects the true extent of your damages and injuries.

Calculating damages

Accurately assessing your damages is vital to securing adequate compensation. We consider all your losses, including current and future medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

Legal representation in court

While many cases settle out of court, some may proceed to trial. Carner & DeVita prepare every case as if it will go to trial, ensuring we can advocate effectively before a judge and jury. Our attorneys are seasoned litigators with a proven track record of successful verdicts in complex personal injury cases.

Continuous support and communication

The legal process can be overwhelming, but we keep our clients well-informed and provide continuous support and guidance. We ensure you understand each step and are comfortable with the strategy deployed.

Contingency fee basis

To alleviate financial stress, Carner & DeVita operates on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases, meaning you do not pay attorney fees unless we secure compensation for you. This approach aligns our interests with yours and ensures committed representation.

Your Suffolk County personal injury lawyer will work hard to recover maximum compensation on your behalf

Our attorneys will help you recover damages for:

• Current and future medical expenses
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Loss of earnings
• And more.

It’s impossible to say just how much compensation you may be eligible for without knowing the details of your case. That’s why we ask that you call our firm immediately if you’ve been injured. We’ll help you decide how much your case could be worth, and we’ll get started on a strategy to obtain maximum compensation.

Carner & DeVita will make sure your claim is filed on time

In most New York civil cases, injured parties have the right to file a lawsuit within three years of the date of the injury. This deadline is known as a “statute of limitations,” which prevents people from suing others for accidents or crimes in which evidence has expired.

However, not all personal injury cases must be filed within three years. Please consult the official New York Statute of Limitations Chart to determine your filing time.

Our Suffolk County personal injury attorneys advise you to visit the doctor even if you don’t feel very hurt

No matter how bad your injury seems, do not delay seeking medical attention after your accident. Symptoms often do not show up until several days, weeks, or even months after the fact, so you will need an examination from a medical professional to determine the severity of your injury.

Because the insurance company may use your doctor’s report to help determine your settlement, be as specific as possible with any statements you make at the hospital or doctor’s office. Keep detailed records and receipts of any medical services you receive so that your Suffolk County personal injury attorney can help you receive the right compensation for medical expenses.
