Rob Rosenthal:
If you're a tourist injured in New York City, should you wait til you get home to contact an injury attorney? We ask New York City lawyer Tom Markovits for this AskTheLawyers Quick Question.
Tom Markovits:
I think it's best to hire someone in the city where you were injured, so if they're injured here, for example, in New York, the best thing to do would be to hire an attorney in New York who's familiar with the ins and outs of personal injury cases in New York, the court system in New York, insurance regulations in New York, medical benefits that are available to an injured passenger or tourist in a taxi cab here in New York. So, I think probably the best course of action would be to hire an attorney here in New York, if this is where the accident happened obviously.
