Personal injury law consists of many different practice areas. There are several different types of accidents that our lawyers see often.
There is a lot of traffic congestion in New York. Only Chicago, Philadelphia, and Boston have more traffic on their streets than in New York. There are also bicyclists, people on scooters, and plenty of pedestrians walking around.
In 2022, there were 247 car accident deaths in the city. There were as many people killed by cars as there were by guns.
New York is a city where people rely on public transportation. Unfortunately, the city’s narrow streets can be difficult for large vehicles to navigate, so the city has plenty of bus accidents.
Our law firm is well-versed in handling cases against government entities.
Injuries from truck accidents are very severe, and thousands of people die in truck accidents in the U.S. every year. New York City has strict regulations for the operation of semi trucks within the city boundaries. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration also has strict regulations on truck drivers.
Although New York is a no-fault state, there are circumstances in which an injured person may be able to sue a trucking company for a traffic accident injury or death. Professional truck drivers are held to higher standards than ordinary drivers.
Injuries from motorcycle accidents tend to be more severe than injuries from other types of accidents. That is because a motorcycle does not offer the same level of protection as other types of vehicles.
Insurance companies don’t always pay what they should for motorcycle injuries. They will argue that the rider was taking a risk simply by operating a motorcycle. We have years of experience representing motorcyclists, so we can get them the compensation they need.
Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs when the head is knocked back and forth when a car crashes into another. It typically happens during a rear-end accident.
It is not at all uncommon for a person to get hit in the head after they have been in an accident. A person's head may hit the window, the door, or even an airbag on impact. Head injuries can range from a mild concussion to a diffuse axonal injury that results in a coma.
Back injuries can happen due to rear-end and head-on collisions. If your spine is injured during a car accident, you could lose the use of your limbs.
People often slip and fall in New York. In many cases, it is because of irresponsible business owners. If a business owner is negligent and causes an accident, they should pay for your injuries.
If you go to a retail store in New York, you will often find that it is quite crowded. It isn't uncommon for businesses to get so busy that they do not properly mark off areas that have been recently mopped. They may not clean up after themselves when they put products on shelves. If you injure yourself, the owner of the store may be liable.
Construction is one of the most dangerous jobs. It is also one of the most necessary because construction is responsible for our infrastructure, and there are over 753,000 construction companies in the United States.
Sometimes people who are passing by or visiting a construction site will be injured in a construction accident. In other cases, workers will be injured on the job.
You may think that workers' compensation insurance would always cover a construction worker who is injured on the job, but this is not always the case. In some cases, a construction worker is considered an independent contractor.
Worker’s compensation was created to keep workers from having to sue their employers for personal injuries. When you are injured at work, you are supposed to report your injuries to your human resources department.
Worker's compensation should pay for all of your medical bills. In cases of severe injury, you should be financially compensated. You may even be owed money for disability.
If you are denied worker’s compensation benefits for injuries suffered at work, an NYC personal injury lawyer can represent you in an appeal hearing with the Worker’s Compensation Board. The workers' compensation insurance may try to short-change you, so our personal injury law firm can represent you in this case as well.
A corporation could cause a person injuries if a product that they design is faulty. In some situations, the design might be just fine, but the manufacturer might be negligent and produce faulty products. In still, other cases, a company may fail to warn people of potential injury.
Product liability cases are often class action lawsuits. A class action lawsuit permits one or more individuals to file a personal injury case on behalf of a group of people. Class action lawsuits can be very lucrative, but they require an enormous amount of research by NYC personal injury lawyers.
Losing a loved one to an accident is a traumatic experience. If someone in your family dies due to the negligence of an individual or a company, you can sue them for wrongful death. You are entitled to compensation for both emotional and monetary loss.
If you sue for wrongful death, you may ask for compensation for funeral expenses as well as loss of the household income that the decedent would have provided. You can also sue for non-monetary damages such as loss of companionship.
Insurance companies will do what they can to keep their money in-house. Hence, it is very important to document your accident and all of its expenses in as detailed a manner as possible.
You should save a copy of every medical bill you get. Have your employer write you a letter stating the number of hours you have missed from work and the amount of money you have lost because of it. You should also document expenses for any kind of help you have needed around the house.
If your injuries are very severe, you may be entitled to money for non-economic damages. If you have been permanently disfigured or disabled in a car accident, you may be able to sue the at-fault driver even though New York is a no-fault state. You will need to provide evidence such as reports from a mental health professional or a journal detailing the way your life has changed since your accident.
Most personal injury cases are settled by negotiations between a law firm and an insurance company. However, every once in a while, an injury law firm will have to file a personal injury lawsuit against a negligent individual or company.
We will always begin the process of the lawsuit by sending the insurance company a demand letter asking for the amount of money that you are entitled to. We will attempt to negotiate with them before filing a lawsuit. If a settlement is not reached, we will proceed.

There are several different steps to filing an injury lawsuit In the state of New York.
Contact UsThe first thing we will do in an injury lawsuit is determine the appropriate New York City court in which to file the suit. This will depend on the amount of money for which we are asking and the jurisdiction in which the accident took place. If we are filing a suit against a business, the jurisdiction in which they do business will also be a factor.
We will file a complaint and summons on your behalf in court. The complaint details all of the reasons that you are suing. We will then have the insurance company served with the summons.
There will be a preliminary hearing in which a judge will meet with parties from both sides. A trial date will be set at this point.
Both legal teams will do research during this phase. They must share all of the information they discover with each other.
In this phase, we will interview witnesses on videotape. Our trained litigators know just what questions to ask witnesses to build your case. We also know how to ask challenging questions to the defendant's witnesses.
Before we go to court, we will participate in several settlement conferences with the defense attorneys. Sometimes a court will ask that both attorneys and clients meet with a mediator who will work with them to negotiate a deal.
In the unlikely event that we cannot get you a settlement by this point, we will represent you in a trial. We have an excellent track record in court.

It is imperative to speak to an attorney as soon as possible to learn of your rights and see that they are protected. There are many deadlines for the various personal injury claims we handle. It is essential that you speak to a New York accident attorney before your time runs out. In addition to deadlines, with each passing day important evidence may disappear, investigation becomes more difficult and costly and memories of crucial information and details fade.
An insurance adjustor is seeking to protect the interests of the party they insure and their insurance company. This means to eliminate or reduce the possibility of paying any money to you, or to obtain your signature on a release, and pay you far less than the amount you should receive. Their job is to help their employer and the person they represent who caused your injury; their job is not to help you. You should have an experienced New York accident attorney working to protect your rights. You should never give a written or recorded statement to an investigator or claims adjustor for an insurance company representing your adversary without first consulting with an attorney. Additionally, never sign or fill out any papers sent to you by an insurance company without the advice of a NY accident attorney.
There are many factors that enter into the evaluation of your personal injury or medical malpractice claim. However, three things are needed to have a good personal injury or medical malpractice lawsuit: Liability, Damages and Collectability. Liability means that something has been done or failed to have been done that caused harm to you. Damage is the harm and the extent of it. It includes the severity of your injury, how long you may be disabled, the nature and extent of your treatment, and the permanency of your injuries. Generally, by filing a personal injury claim or a medical malpractice suit a NY accident attorney can help you recover lost income, medical expenses, loss of services to a spouse, personal property damages, compensation for pain and suffering, and sometimes, in a severe situation, punitive damages that you may be entitled to. Lastly, a strong case requires a company or individual with financial resources that are sufficient to pay you for harm done. Often, neither the parties who may be legally responsible for your damages, nor their financial resources, are obvious. That is one more reason to speak to an experienced NY accident attorney who is best able to determine which people or companies may compensate you. To take proper action, you need to be informed about your legal options.
In New York, compensation is still available for persons whose injuries were caused in part by their own doing. This is known as “comparative negligence,” which means that your compensation will be determined by comparing your negligence to that of the defendant and reduced by the extent to which you were responsible. You may still benefit from working with experienced slip and fall attorneys or depending upon the type of accident a general New York accident attorney.
When death occurs as a result of an accident, the surviving spouse or family member has the right to represent the estate of the victim and bring an action for the victim’s pain and suffering and loss of life with the help of a NY accident attorney. The extent of the damages will depend upon the duration of any period of survival and the extent to which the victim would have contributed to the financial benefit of their estate. It could also include the value of any services they would have performed for the family members who survived and benefited from them. Their income when living would be just one factor in determining that value. Consult a New York accident attorney at Isaacson, Schiowitz & Korson, LLP for more information.
Personal injury claims are often brought against parties who are represented by adjustors and defense attorneys hired by insurance companies. These insurance companies work hard to keep its losses as low as possible, and they do that by aggressively defending claims. You can expect that your opposition will be represented by slip and fall attorneys or an NY accident attorney with a great deal of experience in personal injury defense. Therefore, you should hire a New York accident attorney with extensive experience in pursuing personal injury claims, who specializes in that area of the law and can best protect your interests.
You should know that the vast majority of personal injury claims, slip and fall claims and medical malpractice claims are resolved before a jury reaches a verdict at trial. Many cases are settled even before filing a lawsuit. The ultimate decision about whether to file a lawsuit at all is the client’s. At Isaacson, Schiowitz & Korson, LLP, our slip and fall attorneys and NY accident attorneys are committed to helping our clients reach a satisfactory conclusion to their claim, whether by a lawsuit and trial, or by some alternative means. Our New York accident attorneys, personal injury attorneys and medical malpractice attorneys are experienced in alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation and arbitration. These procedures can serve to avoid the need to file a lawsuit altogether or can be used after and while a lawsuit has begun. In all cases, we take the time to explain to our clients the alternatives available, including the risks and advantages of each, so that our clients can make an informed decision that is best for their individual circumstances and financial benefit.
