Lawfty Law, and particularly attorneys Danielle Oglesby and Vance LeBourgeois, successfully represented me after I was hit as a pedestrian by a reckless driver in Washington, DC. It took a lot of persistence to pursue my case, in part because it spanned the COVID pandemic. I was appropriately kept informed of the status of my case as it progressed and appreciated how Danielle and Vance demonstrated a personal interest in seeing my case through. Danielle’s professionalism and assertiveness proved instrumental to resolving my case through a settlement that provided me with satisfactory compensation. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a strong advocate to fight on their behalf!

Your New York Injury Claim Questions, Answered

Short answers to personal injury questions to help you understand your options under New York personal injury law.

If your question isn’t answered here or you’d like tailored guidance after an injury, schedule a free consultation.

How can a Connecticut car accident lawyer help me?

A Connecticut car accident lawyer provides complete legal support after a collision. They manage all communications with insurance companies, gather critical evidence like police reports and medical records, and pursue the full compensation you are owed for medical care, lost wages, and other damages. They ensure all legal requirements are met while you focus on your recovery.

How do you pick a great injury lawyer in New York?

Many people search for the "top law firms in NYC," but the best firm is one with specific, proven experience in your case type. A great injury lawyer communicates clearly, has a strong track record, and works on a contingency basis. Lawfty's data-driven process is designed to identify lawyers with these exact qualities, removing the guesswork for you.

How does New York’s comparative negligence rule affect my case?

New York follows a "pure comparative negligence" rule. This means you can still recover damages even if you are partially at fault. Your compensation is simply reduced by your percentage of blame (e.g., if you are 20% at fault, you can recover 80% of your damages).

What is the deadline to file an injury claim in New York?

Generally, you have three years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit for most negligence cases. For wrongful death claims, the deadline is shorter—two years from the date of death. It is critical to speak with a lawyer immediately to protect your rights.

What do I need to prove to win a construction accident case?

Under New York Labor Law, particularly Section 240 (the "Scaffold Law"), you may not need to prove negligence for certain gravity-related accidents. A construction accident lawyer can explain these special protections and how they apply to your case.
