Description: White Plains, New York personal injury lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued the Defendants on auto negligence theories.

"New York personal injury law protects individuals who have suffered physical, emotional, or financial harm due to the negligence or intentional wrongdoing of another person or entity. This can encompass a wide range of situations, from car accidents and slip-and-fall injuries to medical malpractice and product liability claims.

Key elements of New York personal injury law:

Duty of care: The defendant must have owed the plaintiff a duty of care to act in a non-negligent manner. For example, drivers have a duty of care to other drivers and pedestrians to operate their vehicles safely.
Breach of duty: The defendant must have breached their duty of care by acting negligently or intentionally causing harm.
Causation: The defendant's breach of duty must have been the proximate cause of the plaintiff's injuries. This means that the plaintiff's injuries would not have occurred but for the defendant's actions.
Damages: The plaintiff must have suffered actual damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, or emotional distress.

Types of personal injury cases in New York:

Car accidents: These are the most common type of personal injury case in New York. If you are injured in a car accident, you may be able to recover damages from the at-fault driver or their insurance company.
Slip-and-fall accidents: Property owners have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. If you are injured in a slip-and-fall accident on someone else's property, you may be able to sue the owner for negligence.
Medical malpractice: If a doctor or other healthcare provider breaches the standard of care and causes you harm, you may be able to sue them for medical malpractice.
Product liability: If you are injured by a defective product, you may be able to sue the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer for damages.

New York's "no-fault" insurance system:

New York is a no-fault state, which means that your own insurance company will pay for your medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of who caused the accident, up to certain limits. However, you can still sue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering and other non-economic damages if your injuries meet certain thresholds.

Seeking legal help:

If you have been injured in New York, it is important to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney to discuss your legal options. An attorney can help you understand your rights, investigate your claim, and negotiate a settlement or represent you in court."
