How Do I Know If I Have A New York Personal Injury Case And Need A New York Personal Injury Lawyer?

In order to file a personal injury claim in New York, the plaintiff must be able to prove that the defendant is liable for the injuries and if so what are the nature and the extent of the damages. If you have been injured as the result of the negligence of another person or entity, liability and damages are the two main bases to establish if you have a case, and what kind of case you have. If you believe you can prove liability and damages, you may have a case and should contact a skilled personal injury lawyer in New York to discuss it.

New York Personal Injury Lawyers: Cases We Handle

Motor Vehicle Accidents:

If you or a loved one was involved in a motor vehicle accident, you need to establish the negligence of a defendant driver to justify compensation for your injuries. This means that you will need to show that the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care, failed to abide by that duty, and thereby caused injuries to the plaintiff. This is causation. Causation is easiest to prove when there are witnesses or a police report that gives the other driver in the car or truck the ticket. Many drivers are negligent and careless behind the wheel, such as by texting while driving, driving while drunk or intoxicated, speeding, or failing to yield at intersections, failing to stop at stop signs or red lights, etc. If you believe you can prove a negligence driver claim, you may be able to obtain compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other costs and losses due to the bodily harm and injury you sustained as a result of their negligence.

Premises Liability

Have you suffered injury from a slip and fall or trip and fall? Are you injured on someone else’s property, due to the negligence of the property owner or manager? If yes, you may have a valid personal injury claim or lawsuit against the responsible party through a premises liability claim. These cases often arise from accidents caused by dangerous, hazardous, and defective conditions at the premises of a property. This is another type of negligence claim where you need to establish the property owner knew or reasonably should have known about the dangerous condition, and the owner failed to repair it or warn visitors about it. Knowledge can be proven through actual notice or constructive notice. Constructive notice means the responsibility was on legal notice even if they were not on actual notice.

Some premises liability matters our injury lawyers handle include injuries or death resulting from slip and falls due to cracked sidewalks and pavement, potholes in the ground that should not be there, faulty cellar grates or cellar doors, defective building maintenance, elevator and escalator malfunctions in New York, negligent security (leading to battery, assault, rape or murder), injury in New York office buildings or residential New York apartment buildings or coops, New York City sidewalk trip and fall injuries, explosion and fire accidents in New York and New York City.

Wrongful Death And Catastrophic Injuries

When someone dies through the negligent act of another, a wrongful death claim lawsuit may be brought on behalf of the surviving spouse and/or family. So long as the death was caused by a defendant’s careless, negligent, reckless or wrongful actions, the victim’s family likely has a valid personal injury wrongful death case. The damages incurred may be recovered by the estate of the decedent, or the one who died. A family bringing a wrongful death claim after a fatal accident may be able to recover compensation for their loss and in certain cases for the conscious pain and suffering of the decedent prior to his or her death. Every state differs on how to assign pain and suffering damages to the decedent’s family for the decedent who is now dead and unable to testify or make any claim for the suffering incurred in the moments, hours, days, weeks, or months leading up to the death. We understand wrongful death cases are the most painful for family members and overwhelming to handle.

What Damages Are Subject To Compensation In A New York Personal Injury Case?

The most common damages claimed in a New York personal injury lawsuit are bodily injury damages and pain and suffering endured as a result of the injury, lost wages related to the injury and medical expenses, (past, current and future).

How Is Pain And Suffering Compensated In New York Personal Injury Claims?

Under New York Law the amount that can be recovered for pain and suffering varies from case to case. Value depends on many factors including the liability of the negligent defendant, causation of the injury, the severity and permanency of your injury, the loss of income as a result of the injury, and other ascertainable damages. Generally speaking, pain and suffering are non-economic damages sustained by the negligence of the defendant. If your case is settled out of court, in mediation, your personal injury attorney will negotiate with the defendant the amount of the compensation for pain and suffering on your behalf. If your case goes to trial, the jury will decide what amount will be awarded for pain and suffering. A jury assigns a number for pain and suffering based on expert testimony provided by your lawyer from doctors, economists, expperts, witnesses, and others. Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results. Every case is different and an injury lawyer will help you determine your case value and risks based on your special set of facts.
