Personal Injury Accident Cases We Handle
Construction Accidents
If you were hurt in a construction accident, you may be able to bring a lawsuit against the owner, general contractor, and other contractors or companies under the NY Labor Law. While not all construction accidents will allow injured workers to bring a lawsuit, it is very important that you consult a New York City construction accident attorney to find out whether you can take additional legal action.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
A car, truck, or motorcycle accident injury could change how you live the rest of your life. Our reputable attorneys are known for exercising every legal muscle to get results for our clients. We are dedicated to helping motor vehicle accident victims recover the money they need for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other losses.
Slip-and-Fall
NYC is a busy city, and with so many people on the move, slip-and-fall accidents are bound to happen in public settings. But you could also be injured on someone’s private property. Among the causes of slip-and-falls are ice/snow, loose floor tiles, uneven flooring, poor lighting, and broken staircases or steps. When property owners don’t use reasonable care and diligence to prevent these accidents from happening, you can pursue compensation.
Premises Liability
Premises liability accidents can happen anywhere, such as on sidewalks, in parking lots and garages, on the grounds of hotels and shopping malls, or in apartment buildings. Accidents range from falling objects, ceiling collapses, slipping and falling on damaged surfaces, and malfunctioning elevators/escalators. When the property owner fails to make sure visitors are safe from dangerous conditions on their property, they can be sued for someone’s injuries as a result.
Negligent Security
If a property owner fails to take proper measures to ensure visitor or resident safety – such as non-secure entrances, broken door locks, or a lack of security guards/cameras – it could lead to instances of robbery, rape, assault, or other serious harm. The assailants are the ones who actually caused the injuries, but the property owners may be held liable for failing to prevent or warn against unsafe conditions and recent criminal activity
Wrongful Death
In a wrongful death claim, certain surviving family members can pursue compensation when their loved one has died because of the legal fault of another person or entity. These lawsuits arise from the same situations as a personal injury claim had the victim survived their injuries. The surviving family can seek compensation for funeral costs, medical bills paid before death, lost financial support, and loss of companionship
Catastrophic Injuries
Sometimes, injuries in an accident can be catastrophic, which means they cause significant impairment, dismemberment, or loss of limb use. These include traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, severe burns, paraplegia/quadriplegia, and amputations. With them comes expenses for medical care, medical equipment, home modifications, and loss of quality of life.
