ACCIDENT and INJURY CLAIMS IN NEW YORK: Overview

Most personal injury cases in the U.S. involve negligence claims. Critical to an attorney's representation in a negligence case is establishing the defendant's responsibility for your injuries. Your New York personal injury attorney will need to prove:

  1. The defendant had an obligation to you or the public;
  2. The defendant violated this obligation by act or omission;
  3. You were injured; and
  4. The defendant's violation was the cause of your injuries.

Personal injury cases can be legally complex and require a New York attorney who specializes in this field. A good attorney will enable the victim or the victim's family to understand the grounds upon which a lawsuit may be brought and succeed.
