Personal Injuries in New York
A personal injury is defined under New York State law as any injury harming the body, mind or emotions, intentionally or due to negligence of another person or entity. This covers a wide range of injuries, ranging from minor to severe, including those that result in disablement or death. Personal injuries in New York typically fall into four major categories:
- Vehicle Accidents– The most common cause of personal injuries in the State of New York, vehicle accidents are often severe, requiring extensive medical care and rehabilitation. Far too often, accident insurance does not cover the total cost of your medical needs.
- Workplace Accidents– New York law requires most employers to provide Worker’s Compensation insurance to provide medical care if you become injured on the job. There are still some cases where a personal injury lawsuit is allowed and warranted.
- Premises Liability Accidents– These accidents occur on someone else’s property due to negligence on their part. For example, a slippery floor in a store causes you to fall and become injured. The store can be held liable for your injuries.
- Product Liability Accidents– These accidents are the result of some defect in a consumer product that causes an injury while using it correctly. The company that made the defective product can be liable for your injuries.
