New York Personal Injury Attorney | NYC
Lawyers and Law Firms for Your Injury Case
When do I need a New York personal injury
attorney to represent me?
If you or one of your family members has been
involved in a serious accident in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx or Staten
Island or in Long Island caused by someone else and the accident occurred
somewhere other than your home, you should contact one of our New York City
personal injury lawyers. Other people owe you a duty of care, property owners
need to keep their premises safe, employers have a responsibility to ensure that
you don't get hurt at work and if you have been injured, you need to know your
rights. You could receive money to pay for your medical bills or you could
receive money as damages to compensate you for emotional or other distress. How
do you know? Call one of our New York personal injury attorneys.
In New York City and the rest of New York state,
there are many laws protecting the injured. If you were hurt at work, you may
have a workers compensation claim. If you were injured in a car accident, our
personal injury attorneys can help you get through the complicated New York
court system.
Our New York personal injury lawyers can review
your case with you and quickly determine whether you have a case or should at
least contact the other party's insurance carrier. Our attorneys handle all of
the work for you.
In New York, an attorney can represent their
clients where doctors or hospitals make material errors. Earlier this year, a
New York jury awarded a woman over $10 million when a Queens hospital did not
complete a brain scan in time and the woman ended up paralyzed.
A personal injury attorney in New York can also
tell you what is the likelihood of damages for your case. One source reports
that the median award for compensatory damages in personal injury trials is over
$250,000. Did you know that under
New York's no-fault law, an insurance company is required to pay drivers,
passengers and pedestrians up to $50,000.00 for the legitimate economic and
medical losses but does not provide for pain and suffering. In fact, only
permanent injuries cases can recover more than $50,000.
If you have been hurt in New York, you need a New
York personal injury attorney to review with you what happened. Only an
experienced personal injury attorney who is well versed in New York law can
advise you properly and can tell you if you can collect money for your injury.
