Serious Injury Claims in New York
Across Upstate New York, from Albany to Rochester, personal injury cases continue to rise due to traffic collisions, unsafe property conditions, defective products, and workplace incidents. This region, known for its aging infrastructure and severe winter weather, sees a high rate of commercial traffic, which increases the risk of fatalities and serious injuries. Under New York’s civil law, injured victims may seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, provided another party’s negligence can be clearly demonstrated.
The state’s “pure comparative negligence” rule allows victims to recover damages even if they are partially at fault. However, securing fair compensation requires immediate medical documentation, witness statements, liability analysis, and a qualified New York personal injury lawyer with regional experience. Personal injury claims in New York must be filed typically within three years from the date of the incident. Missing this deadline or failing to collect strong evidence could weaken your entire claim.
