Can I Sue For a Serious Injury in New York State?

Though we like to think of New York City as a safe place to live, the unfortunate reality is that everywhere you turn, serious accidents can happen. If you are someone who has sustained severe or catastrophic injuries in an accident, you must continue reading and speak with our experienced New York City personal injury attorneys to learn more about how we can help you file a claim. Here are some of the questions you may have:

What types of accidents can your firm handle?

Our firm has helped individuals recover compensation after being injured in various types of accidents. To start, we can help all those injured in auto accidents, including car accidents, mass transit accidents, and more. Additionally, our firm is well-equipped to handle premises liability accidents that can occur in places like parking lots, supermarkets, and apartments, to name a few. We are also unique in that we have received praise for your ability to help injured firefighters and first-responders when they need it most.

What injuries can I recover financial compensation for?

Fortunately, our firm can help you recover compensation for even the most severe injuries, including brain trauma, spinal injuries, severe burns leaving permanent scarring, and more. We understand the impact that a serious injury can have on a person’s life, which is why we are here to fight for the financial compensation you deserve.

Do I need a personal injury attorney to win my claim?

Though many people wish they could simply file without an attorney, the truth is, you need an attorney to win sufficient compensation. Fortunately, we are here to help your case move along as swiftly and efficiently as possible. Our firm will tirelessly work to obtain various types of valuable evidence, including pictures of the conditions that caused your accident, witness statements, medical documents, police reports, and more.

Bear in mind, however, that if you have been injured, you only have a certain amount of time to act. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New York State is three years, which gives you three years from the date of your accident to file a claim. If you wait any longer than three years, however, you will most likely be barred from suing. Our firm is ready to act–all you have to do is ask.
