This means, in effect, that thousands of people are needlessly injured every year. We understand that you’re hurt, and we are ready to do everything in our power to get you the compensation you need. Contact an experienced Rockland County personal injury lawyer from 59Law.com today to schedule your free initial consultation and to learn more about how we can help guide you through the legal process ahead.
Filing a personal injury claim can seem like a daunting, if not overwhelming task. By yourself, it may be, but with an attorney, it absolutely does not have to be. Our firm has decades of experience representing the wrongfully injured here in Rockland County and throughout the state of New York, and we are prepared to put that experience to work for you as well.
59Law.com is a proud representative of all those who’ve been hurt due to the negligence of others. We handle injury cases involving the following scenarios:
In New York, personal injury claims are built on the concept of negligence. To succeed in your case, you and your attorney must prove four essential elements: duty of care, breach of that duty, causation, and damages.
First, we must show that the at-fault party owed you a legal duty of care. This duty varies depending on the situation–drivers must operate their vehicles safely, doctors must adhere to accepted standards of medical care, and property owners must maintain reasonably safe premises.
Next, we have to prove that the other party breached this duty through their actions, or failure to act. Whether it’s a distracted driver running a red light or a landlord ignoring a known safety hazard, that breach is the foundation of the claim.
Then comes causation. It’s not enough to show that the defendant was negligent–we must also connect that negligence directly to your injury. In other words, we need to prove that your injuries would not have occurred if the other party had acted responsibly.
Finally, we must demonstrate that you suffered actual damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, or long-term disability, as a result of the incident.
At 59Law.com, we know how to gather evidence, consult with experts, and build a compelling case that proves each of these elements. You don’t have to take on this legal burden alone–we’re here to fight for you every step of the way.
Timing matters when it comes to personal injury claims. In New York, the statute of limitations for most personal injury lawsuits is three years from the date of the accident. This means that if you wait too long, you could lose your right to recover any compensation, regardless of how strong your case may be.
However, not all cases follow the same timeline. If your injury was caused by a government entity, such as a city-owned bus or a slip and fall on municipal property, you may be required to file a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the incident, and a lawsuit within one year and 90 days.
Medical malpractice claims also have their own set of rules, often requiring action within two years and six months from the date of the malpractice, or from the end of continuous treatment for the same condition.
Time can pass quickly when you’re recovering from a serious injury. That’s why it’s crucial to speak with an attorney as soon as possible. The sooner you reach out to us, the sooner we can preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and ensure all deadlines are met.
At 59Law.com, we take deadlines seriously because your future depends on it. Let us help you move forward–on time and on your terms.
