New York Personal Injury Attorney, Peter Panas

Personal Injury: An Unfortunate Part of Every Day Life in New York

Every day in the United States, seemingly unthinkable horror stories become reality: Horrendous car and truck accidents occur during otherwise routine trips; standard surgical procedures are fouled up at the hands of trained physicians leaving the patients disfigured or debilitated for life; dedicated and hardworking construction site workers encounter career ending injuries due to the negligence of their company to provide adequate and safe equipment; you slip and fall in a puddle of water that was carelessly left on the open floor by a negligent restaurant worker.

Does this sound at all familiar to you? If it does, then you know the rest of the story all too well. The insurance company offered some laughable amount of compensation to cover your lost wages and hospital bills. The amount offered, however, is not nearly enough to cover the costs that you have incurred and you feel insulted. You feel so insulted, in fact, that you call the insurance company to complain. The insurance company responds by informing you that the amount they have offered to you is all that they are required to provide.

You are left to face mounting debt and you can do nothing about it. You are injured and insulted and the insurance company has the upper hand because you don’t have the necessary legal representation to fight back.

Do not be left in this situation. New York attorney Peter Panas can help!

Peter Panas: A Cut Above the Rest

There are hundreds of personal injury lawyers in the state of New York and all of them are claiming to know the best way to help you in your time of need. The sad reality of the situation, however, is that should you place your trust in most of these attorneys your case could very well be lost among thousands of claims or it could be handed to an inexperienced associate lawyer. At the Law Offices of Peter Panas, your case will be handled differently. You can rest assured that your case will be given the time and consideration that it deserves and every available resource will be used to ensure that your personal injury case succeeds.

Careful detail, however, should not be the only reason that you choose the Law Offices of Peter Panas. You should choose an attorney that has practical experience in dealing with insurance companies and personal injury claims. Peter Panas began his legal career by working for one of the top medical malpractice defense firms in New York. During his tenure there, he gained first hand knowledge of the policies and practices that insurance companies employ to minimize insurance payouts due to physician negligence. He learned that insurance companies prey on the lack of general legal knowledge of most accident victims. Insurance companies stall and delay compensation decisions in order to test both the patience and resolve of accident victims. The companies make the victims wait so long that they will become financially desperate enough to accept a negligibly low offer. By doing this, the insurance industry is able to protect its enormous profits. This is the exact type of experience that Peter Panas has brought with him to his own law firm and now he is ready to use it to help you.

Insurance Companies and their Unethical Policies

May 1, 2006 – BusinessWeek Online – Allstate corporation has been defying the New Mexico state court orders to release over 12,000 PowerPoint slides provided by managing consultant McKinsey & Co. The slides suggest that Allstate should, among other things, “treat some of its claimants with ‘boxing gloves,’ rather than with its trademark ‘good hands.’ Collectively, the documents present a portrait of business strategies that are at odds with the insurer’s carefully cultivated public image.”

With policies such as these, the only hands you should place your trust and future in are those of experienced attorney Peter Panas.

March 30, 2007 – Kansas City Star – “WASHINGTON - Sen. Trent Lott this week renewed his efforts to make Homeowners' insurance more understandable.

Lott, R-Miss., introduced the Homeowners' Insurance Noncoverage Disclosure Act, which would require insurance companies to list specifically what is not covered by the policy on the front page of the policy in simple language and large type…

Lott has sued his insurance company, State Farm Fire and Casualty Co., over the insurer's refusal to cover Hurricane Katrina damage to his home.”

A U.S. Senator has to pursue the insurance companies for just compensation by writing federal legislation. While you may not be able to do the same, New York Attorney Peter Panas can work through the existing legal structure to win for you the settlement that you deserve.

Areas of Trial Practice

While Peter Panas may have most of his experience in dealing with medical malpractice, the policies of insurance companies remain the same across the personal injury spectrum. Following are the legal areas in which Peter Panas can offer his expertise and aid:

Automobile and Pedestrian Accidents

In 2003 there were over 6.6 million accidents on American roadways. With the U.S. population surging, and the metropolitan centers, such as New York City growing, the number of automobile related accidents stands to become substantially higher. This is just more of a reason for insurance companies to fight compensation payments. If you or a loved one have been involved in an accident due to someone’s negligence, while you were either in an automobile or a pedestrian on the road, don’t hesitate to contact our offices for a free consultation.

Medical Malpractice

When you or a loved one goes to a physician or surgeon, you are literally placing your livelihood and well-being in their hands. Unfortunately, even though doctors are trained professionals they are also human and do make mistakes. These mistakes can cause a lifetime of pain and financial hardships. Peter Panas is experienced in dealing with these types of cases. If you believe that you or a loved one have encountered personal injury as a result of medical malpractice, contact our law offices today for a free consultation.

Construction Site Injuries

Construction workers have one of the most dangerous and stressful jobs imaginable. Often working in extreme conditions with dangerous equipment, one mistake could be fatal. Every day, however, New York men and women loyally go onto the construction site to earn an honest day’s pay to financially support themselves and/or their families. Sadly, when these workers are injured, they can expect nothing but resistance from insurance companies when injury claims are filed. If you or a loved one has been injured while working on a construction site due to the negligence of others and you are seeking just compensation, don’t hesitate to contact the law offices of Peter Panas today for a free consultation.

Slip and Fall Injuries

Many accident occur due to the careless negligence of someone to properly do their job. Perhaps a restaurant worker failed to properly clean up a spilled drink from the floor or a grocery store employee failed to properly clean a liquid spill down a grocery store aisle. There are many instances in which people fail to do their job properly and it results in someone sustaining lasting injuries because of a slip and fall. If you or a loved one has experience personal injury through a slip and fall and you believe that it was because of someone else’s negligence, contact the law offices of Peter Panas today.

Municipal Injury Claims

Injuries don’t always occur at the hands of an individual or corporation. They can also occur at the hands of a municipality, such as New York City. The statute of limitations against municipalities is much shorter. Contact the law offices of Peter Panas today for his expert guidance.

Adequate Legal Representation: An Essential Element for Justice

Peter Panas has up-close and personal experience in dealing with insurance companies. He knows the unethical tactics that they will use to protect their enormous shareholder profits and he knows that the insurance companies will do everything possible to see that you receive as little compensation possible for your injuries. You have already been the victim of somebody’s negligence. Don’t be the victim of somebody’s greed. Receive the justice you deserve by contacting the law offices of Peter Panas today!
