Negligence in Manhattan Car Accidents

Personal injury claims are based on negligence. This means that the at-fault party owed you a reasonable duty of care which was breached resulting in the injuries you suffered. Anyone who gets behind the wheel of a vehicle is expected to follow the rules of the road and drive in a safe manner that does not put others at risk for harm. 

Driving while texting, while drunk or drugged, speeding, running red lights or stop signs, failing to yield, tailgating, and simply not paying attention to what you are doing are all forms of negligence that can lead to accidents. 

Your injury claim will need to demonstrate that the other party caused the accident and thus your injuries. In some cases, more than one party may be liable, such as the driver as well as the manufacturer of a defective vehicle or its parts. This must all be proven by evidence that our firm can gather on your behalf. We start by conducting a thorough investigation into the accident that can involve:

  • Police reports
  • Witness testimony
  • Video footage
  • Photographs of the accident site and the vehicles involved
  • Consultation with accident reconstruction specialists
  • Any other relevant evidence or information that supports your claim

Furthermore, we will substantiate your injuries and their impact on your life through medical records and their expenses, financial experts, and others who can support your claim. 

With all of this information, we can formulate fair and just monetary compensation to which you are entitled, such as::

  • Past and future medical costs, including physical therapy, rehab, and other treatment programs
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost wages or income
  • Reduced quality of life
  • Property damage, such as to your vehicle or personal property
  • Lost earning capacity
  • Emotional trauma

Common Injuries in Car Accidents

Car accidents can inflict enormous injuries on drivers and passengers, such as:

These injuries can take weeks, months, or years from which to recover involving multiple treatments, surgeries, and aftercare. The expenses involve can be staggering, including out-of-pocket expenses involving transportation to and from medical facilities, childcare costs, renovation costs to your home for wheelchair ramps, and more. We can factor in all of the expenses you have incurred and may expect to incur in the future associated with your injuries. 

Time Limits

In personal injury cases, you are subject to a statute of limitations that imposes a deadline for filing a lawsuit. In New York, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to do this. However, it is vital to act as soon as possible after an accident. Your case may be subject to an insurance company’s time limit for filing. In cases involving government agencies, you will be subject to a 90-day limit in filing your claim. Our team can advise you on the time limits in your case and get to work immediately on preparing your claim.
