Glen Cove Personal Injury Lawyer

It can be hard to put a price tag on personal injuries. Accidents, especially those caused by the negligence of another person or party are often much more than medical bills and lost wages. Many victims suffer through emotional and mental trauma, ongoing medical conditions and pain, drastic changes to lifestyles, loss of employment, and in extreme cases, loss of life.

While financial compensation can’t reverse what happened, it can help to defray the added costs and offer some improvement to your way of life. Our Glen Cove personal injury lawyers understand the impact a personal injury can have on you and your family, and we’ll be there to support you every step of the way and ensure that the at-fault party at fault is held responsible.

Personal Injuries

Personal injuries can be caused by reckless or negligent behavior, a failure to address known hazards or even intentional actions that cause harm. Examples of personal injury incidents include:

• Improper, illegal, or negligent care or treatment from a doctor, surgeon, nurse, or another medical practitioner. 
• Workplace accidents due to unsafe procedures, lack of proper equipment, or other known hazards.
• Vehicle accidents caused by a driver’s careless actions or driving while intoxicated
• Defective devices such as kitchen appliances, medical equipment, machinery, etc.
• Medical conditions caused by harmful medications or vaccines.
• Slip and falls caused by icy conditions, loose or wet flooring, and other tripping hazards.

If you or your loved one was the victim of an accident and you believe another party may be at fault, don’t wait to file your lawsuit.

Statute of Limitations

The State of New York provides a 90-day window for victims of personal injuries to file a lawsuit against the neglectful party or parties. While it may sound simple, the process can often be daunting, involving a lot of paperwork. Many times, paperwork can be filled out incorrectly or misfiled— all of which can delay the process and sometimes causes you to miss deadlines.
