Do I Have a Personal Injury Case in Manhattan?

After an accident, many people aren’t sure whether they have a valid personal injury case. Most claims are based on negligence, which occurs when someone fails to act with reasonable care, resulting in harm to another person. To have a successful personal injury case, several elements must be established:

  1. Duty of Care: The at-fault party must have owed you a duty of care. For example, drivers have a duty to stay alert and follow traffic laws, while property owners have an obligation to maintain safe premises.
  2. Breach of Duty: You must prove that the responsible party breached their duty of care through negligent or reckless behavior.
  3. Causation: It must be shown that the breach of duty directly caused your injuries or losses. Evidence such as medical records, eyewitness testimony, and expert analysis can establish causation.
  4. Damages: Finally, you must demonstrate that you suffered measurable damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering, as a result of the injury.

If you’re uncertain about the validity of your claim, a consultation with a Manhattan personal injury lawyer can provide the clarity you need.

Should I Accept the First Offer from the Insurance Company?

Lawyers of Distinction 2024

After an accident, there’s a good chance that an insurance adjuster will contact you with a settlement offer. While it might seem like a quick resolution to your financial worries, accepting the first offer is often a mistake.

Insurance companies are businesses, and their goal is to minimize payouts—even at your expense. They use various tactics to reduce the value of claims, including offering lowball settlements, disputing liability, or pressuring victims to accept offers before they’ve fully assessed their damages.

If you accept a settlement too soon, you could end up leaving significant money on the table. For example, the settlement may not account for future medical expenses, ongoing therapy, or the long-term impact of your injuries.

Consulting with a personal injury attorney before accepting any offers ensures that your rights and interests are protected.

Compensation Available to Personal Injury Victims in Manhattan

Cheri Finz

A severe injury can disrupt nearly every facet of your life, from your ability to work to your ability to enjoy daily activities with your loved ones. Pursuing a personal injury claim can help ease the financial burden of an accident. While no amount of money can erase the pain or trauma you’ve endured, securing compensation can provide the support you need to move forward.

Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to recover damages, such as:

  • Medical Expenses – This includes the cost of treatments, surgeries, hospital stays, medication, rehabilitation, and any future medical care you may require as a result of your injury.
  • Lost Income – If your injury has left you unable to work, either temporarily or permanently, you can seek compensation for lost income and diminished earning capacity.
  • Pain and Suffering – This encompasses the physical pain and emotional distress you’ve experienced because of the accident, including anxiety, depression, and diminished quality of life.
  • Property Damage – If your personal property was damaged in the accident (e.g., your vehicle in a car crash), you may be compensated for repair or replacement costs.
  • Loss of Consortium – If your injury has negatively impacted your relationship with your spouse or family, this loss may also be factored into your claim.

Our experienced attorneys fight tirelessly to secure the maximum compensation possible for our clients. We carefully evaluate your damages to ensure you receive the resources you need to rebuild your life.

What if I’m Partly to Blame for My Injuries?

If you believe you may share some responsibility for your accident, you might worry that this could prevent you from recovering compensation. However, in New York, that’s not the case.

New York follows the comparative negligence rule, which allows injured individuals to seek compensation even if they are partially at fault for the accident. Under this rule, the amount of compensation you are eligible to recover will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you.

For example, if you are awarded $100,000 in damages but are found to be 20% at fault for the accident, your compensation will be reduced to $80,000.

Insurance companies often try to shift as much blame as possible onto victims to reduce payouts. That’s why having an experienced Manhattan personal injury lawyer by your side is crucial. Your lawyer will meticulously investigate your case, gather strong evidence, and counter any attempts to unfairly attribute responsibility to you.

What is the Statute of Limitations for Filing a New York Personal Injury Lawsuit?

Stuart L. FinzIf you’ve been injured in Manhattan, it’s important to act quickly to protect your legal rights. New York has a statute of limitations that sets strict deadlines for filing personal injury lawsuits.

For most personal injury cases, the statute of limitations in New York is three years from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline can result in your case being dismissed, leaving you without the compensation you may desperately need.

However, some exceptions can shorten or extend this timeframe. For example, if your case involves a government entity, you may need to file a notice of claim within as little as 90 days of the accident. Conversely, if the injury isn’t discovered right away, the filing deadline may be extended based on when the injury was identified.

Because these deadlines depend on the unique circumstances of your case, consulting with a Manhattan personal injury lawyer as soon as possible is the best way to ensure your claim is filed on time.
