Understanding Your Rights in a Brooklyn Personal Injury Case

If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, New York law gives you the right to hold the at-fault party accountable for your injuries. The legal concept of negligence means that the responsible party failed to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm to you. 

To prove negligence, we must demonstrate:

1. Duty of Care: The defendant had a legal duty to act responsibly (e.g., drivers must obey traffic laws, property owners must maintain safe premises).
2. Breach of Duty: The defendant failed to meet this duty (e.g., a driver texting while driving, a property owner failing to fix a known hazard).
3. Causation: The breach of duty directly caused your injury.
4. Damages: You suffered losses, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, as a result of the injury.

When it comes to car accidents, however, New York also has specific rules about no-fault insurance for car accidents. Under this system, regardless of who caused the accident, each driver's insurance pays for their own medical expenses and lost earnings up to a certain limit. This can restrict the ability to sue for damages unless the injuries meet the “serious injury” threshold defined by the law, such as disfigurement, broken bones, or significant limitation of body function.

Keep in mind that New York follows the pure comparative negligence rule, which means that an injured party can still recover damages even if they are partially at fault for the accident. However, their compensation will be reduced by their percentage of fault. For example, if a person is found to be 30% responsible for an accident, their award will be reduced by that percentage. This rule allows even someone who is more than 50% at fault to seek compensation, which is more lenient than in many other states.

Compensation for Brooklyn Injury Victims

In Brooklyn, personal injury victims are entitled to pursue compensation for both economic and non-economic damages, which may include:

• Medical Bills: Including emergency room visits, surgeries, medication, physical therapy, and future medical care.
• Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed from work and future lost earning capacity if your injury prevents you from returning to your job.
• Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and the toll the injury has taken on your life.
• Property Damage: If your personal property, such as a vehicle, was damaged in the accident, you can recover the cost of repairs or replacement.
• Loss of Consortium: For loved ones who have been affected by the victim’s injuries, compensation may be awarded for loss of companionship and support.

The Legal Process of a Personal Injury Lawsuit in NY

2. Investigation: We gather evidence, including police reports, medical records, surveillance footage, photos of the scene, and witness statements.
3. Filing the Claim: A formal claim is submitted to the at-fault party’s insurance company or directly in court, depending on the nature of the case.
4. Negotiation: Insurance companies are often willing to settle, but they may try to lowball victims. Your lawyer handles all negotiations to protect your interests.
5. Filing a Lawsuit: If a fair settlement is not reached, we may file a personal injury lawsuit in Brooklyn court.
6. Discovery: Both sides exchange information and evidence. Depositions may be taken.
7. Trial or Settlement: Many cases settle before trial, but if needed, we are prepared to present your case in court and fight for the compensation you deserve.
