NY Accident Attorney
Personal Injury lawyers represent victims of accidents who have been injured as a result of the negligence of a driver of a vehicle, or the owner or tenant of property, the owner or general contractor of a construction site, the manufacturer of a defective product, etc.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents are probably the most common type of accidents that occur on a daily basis. Injuries in car, truck, motorcycle, and bicycle accidents often cause serious injuries. Injuries caused by motor vehicle accidents may include brain injury, spinal injury, and various orthopedic injuries, including fractures, some of which may require surgery. Pedestrians, passengers in cars, drivers of cars, and bicyclists who are injured in motor vehicle accidents in New York are entitled to have their medical bills, hospital bills and lost earnings paid by no-fault insurance, (subject to limitations in accordance with New York law) regardless of who was at fault in causing the accident. However, in order to recover for pain and suffering and other types of financial losses, the accident victim’s New York accident lawyer will generally need to prove the negligence or legal liability of the parties who are sued for causing the injuries.
Premises Accidents
Victims of accidents caused by the negligent maintenance or repair of property in New York state should also be entitled to financial compensation for their injuries, provided that the New York accident lawyer is able to prove the defendant’s negligence.
Other Types of Accidental Injuries
People who were injured as a result of medical malpractice, or by faulty products, equipment or machinery may also be entitled to be financially compensated for their injuries.
Importance of Getting Prompt Medical Treatment
If you were injured in an accident in New York, we recommend that you seek medical evaluation and treatment immediately after the accident. This can be accomplished by visiting the hospital emergency room, doctor or a medical walk-in center. Those accident victims who intentionally delay their medical treatment, hoping that the injuries will heal themselves, often jeopardize their personal injury case, since the defense will claim that the injuries were not serious enough to warrant prompt medical attention, or even that the injuries may not have been sustained in the accident, but rather by some other occurrence between the date of the accident and the date of the firs medical treatment.
How Can a New York Personal Injury Lawyer Help?
