Understanding New York City Personal Injuries and the Law
Basic New York City personal injury laws and other safety laws are very complex. Attorneys with extensive experience in all forms of state-wide injury law are critical to the success of any case.
Injury law and how it affects New York City personal injury lawsuits
New York City personal injury law carries many complications when determining negligence and degree of responsibility. Your own carelessness can reduce your claim by the percentage to which you were responsible. New York joint and several liability rules establish that, when multiple parties are responsible, any individual who is more than 50 percent responsible is liable for all resulting damages. But, anyone who is 50 percent responsible or less can be held separately responsible for non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering. Personal injury law becomes more complicated when auto or construction site accidents caused injuries.

The state no-fault insurance laws often eliminate the possibility of filing personal injury lawsuits in New York City. But, it is still possible to pursue an injury law suit in specific situations. Our experienced injury attorneys carefully assess the circumstances of each case to pursue all possible avenues for your case.
