Maybe you are the type of person who is hesitant to sue anyone. Still, you could be experiencing pain, suffering, and discomfort, dealing with piles of unexpected medical bills, time off work, and being confused about how to move forward.
Shouldn’t someone pay for what happened? Having a Personal Injury attorney is, unfortunately, a reality for ensuring you get what you deserve and what is right.
The more information you have about your case, the stronger your claim will be. If you were injured due to another’s carelessness, contact one of our experienced New York Personal Injury lawyers to learn more about filing a claim.
New York law generally allows only Three Years to file a personal injury claim. This deadline is critical to your rights because if you don’t get your lawsuit started in court before New York’s three-year filing window closes, you’ll lose your right to have your case heard. Call our offices today to avoid missing your window of opportunity.
Vehicular accidents can sometimes be synonymous with Car Accidents. Our firm can handle all your automobile accidents, including motorcycle, commercial vehicle, Uber, Lyft, and Rideshare.
Injuries from these accidents caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongful conduct can be life-altering. You were healthy and vibrant one minute, and you were dealing with painful injuries, doctors’ appointments, and lost wages the next. Then, there is the emotional toll caused by your personal injury. You might feel angry at the person that caused the injury and depressed and anxious about your physical and financial issues.
You must prove that the other party caused your injury to have a successful personal injury claim. First, you must show that the other party owed you a duty of care and breached it. New York defines duty of care as “ A person in control of a property using reasonable care to keep the premises in a reasonably safe condition for the protection of all persons whose presence is reasonably foreseeable.” This includes stopping at red lights. If a driver runs a red light, he or she has breached the duty of care. That breach put you and other motorists at risk.
Finally, you must prove that by breaching the duty of care, the other party caused your injuries. Using the previous example, you can prove causation if a driver runs a red light, hits your car, and breaks your leg. By running the red light, the driver caused an accident. The accident resulted in a broken leg. This is a straightforward example, but personal injury cases are generally much more complicated. That’s why hiring a New York Vehicle Accident attorney is vital.
The State of New York abides by comparative fault rules. That means anyone who contributes to the accident is liable for it and any injuries that result.
If your insurance policy won’t cover the whole cost of your medical bills, car repair, and other expenses, you can sue any other party involved.
That includes truck and bus drivers, motorcyclists, cyclists, the other driver’s employer, the company responsible for a faulty product, or even pedestrians.
Some of the common faults that cause accidents include:
Sometimes, even the state might be partly at fault if roads and other structures contributed to the accident.
Some much more severe accidents can require hospitalizations, surgeries, and reconstruction before recovery can be complete. In these cases, the accident claim reaches tens of millions of dollars.
Some of these serious accidents we have dealt with include:
Sometimes, a car can roll over or collide with another, but a fault with the car exacerbates the problem. For example, failure of an airbag to deflate, a seat belt to tighten, or brake failure are all grounds to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer.
If you have lost a loved one in a car accident, you may also be eligible to file a wrongful death claim against the party at fault and their insurance company.

According to New York’s No-Fault laws, a motorcycle is not considered a motor vehicle. This means that the No-Fault law does not cover motorcycles. Motorcyclists involved in an accident are not entitled to medical and lost wage benefits under the No-Fault law. They can, however, bring a claim against the parties responsible for the accident in which they were injured. It is, therefore, critical to have the guidance and support of an experienced New York motorcycle accident lawyer.
People in passenger vehicles are surrounded by a steel frame, seat belt restraint systems, and airbags, while motorcyclists are exposed to more hazards on the open road. Even when a motorcyclist is driving safely and cautiously, an accident can occur due to no fault of the motorcyclist. Some of the most common types of motorcycle accidents involve the following:
Motorcyclists are at greater risk of being involved in an accident than other types of motorists. The attorneys at Harrison Law Group P.C. are experienced and skilled at fighting on behalf of victims of motorcycle accidents. Filing a PIP (Personal Injury Protection) claim is not an option for motorcyclists, making it more difficult to recover compensation quickly after an accident.
Recovering compensation for a ridesharing accident claim can be very complicated. It is mainly because rideshare companies classify their drivers as independent contractors. Therefore, the rideshare companies cannot be held directly liable for an accident caused by their driver. This doesn’t mean that you can’t recover compensation. An experienced New York rideshare accident lawyer from our law firm will help you explore different options for recovering compensation for your accident.
In New York, ridesharing apps must purchase insurance covering their drivers. This insurance policy protects victims of rideshare accidents in the event of an accident caused by the rideshare driver. However, the availability of this policy depends on the status of the rideshare driver at the time of the accident.
If you want to seek compensation for damages resulting from a rideshare accident, you will need to identify the parties that are liable for your accident. Some parties that can be held liable for rideshare accidents include:
