In the bursting metropolis of New York City, accidents of all kinds are fairly commonplace. But the frequency of accidents and mishaps in New York cannot take away from the confusion or pain that can result when an accident or injury happens to you or a loved one.
Luckily, there are laws that exist to mitigate and remedy the pain and suffering you experience after a misfortunate injury or accident. When an accident occurs, there is almost always someone at legally at fault whom you are entitled to recover damages from. However, recovering damages from that person or entity is not always an easy process. There can be disputes over who is at fault, how much damages you actually incurred, and who is responsible to pay for it. To navigate these legal disputes, it is best to hire a Personal Injury lawyer who is skilled at navigating these complexities and advocating on your behalf. An excellent Personal Injury lawyer can help you sort out your situation, apply the law to what happened to you, and help you succeed in recovering the damages you are owed in either a formal lawsuit against the person or entity that injured you or in an informal settlement negotiation.

If you are injured as the result of someone else’s negligence, you may have a Personal Injury claim. To prove your claim, you will have to show two things: liability and damages. For the first element, you will have to prove that the other person – the defendant – is liable for the injuries you sustained. And secondly, you will have to be able to demonstrate the nature and extent of the injuries and damages your incurred. If these two elements can be proven you may have a case; however, to best determine if these elements can be proven in your personal case, we recommend you contact one of our experienced Personal Injury lawyers to discuss the facts and circumstances of your case. To prepare as solid a case as possible for a favorable jury verdict or settlement, our legal team manages every aspect of your case, including gathering evidence, records, and reports.
