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.
