Immediate Action Required When Sued

Lake Success, NY (May 18, 2011) – “Against the backdrop of an increasingly litigious society, the general public must recognize that lawsuits must be addressed with speed and the aide of professional representation,” according to Howard Fensterman, Managing Partner of Abrams Fensterman, a New York and Long Island-based law firm.

“Law suits should not be ignored,” Fensterman points out. “If you have been sued and you ignore the matter or do not act in a timely manner, you may have a judgment entered against you without your claims and defenses being heard by the court,” Fensterman notes.

According to Fensterman, “The recipient of a lawsuit should gather all the information and documentation relevant to the claim, and the defenses, so that he or she can provide the materials to their lawyer. By acting in a speedy fashion, feelings of helplessness can be replaced with feelings of confidence.”

Fensterman suggests contacting your insurance broker or carrier if you are sued in a negligence and / or personal injury matter. He notes that there may be insurance coverage available on your behalf.
