What is Personal Injury Law
Personal injury law gives individuals the ability to recover financial compensation after being hurt due to someone else’s carelessness.
Whether it’s a slip and fall in a store, a car crash caused by a distracted driver, or a workplace accident, the law allows victims to pursue accountability. These incidents can impact every part of a person’s life, from health to finances. That’s why it’s important to work with an Ossining, NY personal injury lawyer that understands how to move a claim forward while keeping your best interests in mind.
Personal injury cases are based on the legal concept of negligence. This means that someone failed to take reasonable care to avoid causing harm to others. For example, a property owner who doesn’t fix a known hazard, or a driver who ignores traffic rules, may be considered negligent if their actions lead to an accident.
As your legal team, we work to gather evidence, build a solid case, and deal with the insurance companies so that you can focus on your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you’ve been injured and are considering legal action, it’s normal to have questions about the process, your rights, and what to expect. For answers about your specific circumstances, call our office to schedule your complimentary case review.
-
New York law does not require injured victims to have an attorney to file a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company. However, personal injury claims can be complex, and many defendants (and their insurance companies) have lawyers ready to try any trick they can to deny or minimize your valid claim. Hiring your own New York personal injury attorney levels the playing field and gives you a better chance of securing a fair settlement.
-
You may still be able to claim compensation for your damages even if you contributed some of the fault for the wreck. New York is a comparative negligence state. This means that even if you are partially at fault for an accident, you can still recover damages, although your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, these cases can be tricky, and it’s best to consult with our New York car accident lawyer.
-
Your compensation depends on the extent of your material damages. The higher your economic losses (medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and other out-of-pocket expenses), the higher your economic compensation should be. If you seek non-material compensation for pain and suffering and emotional trauma, it is usually calculated as a factor of your total economic losses. So, essentially, the worse you were injured, the higher the value your claim will likely be.
-
Yes! This is called misdiagnosis, and it’s more common than you may believe. Doctors should take into account the totality of the patient’s presenting symptoms, as well as their medical history and family medical history. The standard level of care expected of a physician often includes ordering reasonable lab work and imaging tests to narrow down the possibilities and give the patient an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
-
Each firm sets its own fee structure, so we can only speak to ours, The Law Office of Jeffrey Weiskopf. We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means we don’t get paid unless we win your case. Our firm provides the cost of litigating your claim upfront, allowing you to access high-quality legal representation without any upfront cost. Many injured people appreciate this, especially those still out of work recovering. Then, we assess our fees as a percentage of the final settlement.
-
New York gives personal injury victims three years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline usually means giving up the right to pursue compensation. Reaching out early also allows us to collect evidence while it’s still fresh, which can strengthen your case.
-
A successful personal injury claim can cover medical expenses, lost wages, future treatment needs, property damage, and non-economic losses like pain and emotional strain. Every case is different, and we approach each one with a careful review of the facts and a clear plan for presenting your claim.
Insurance companies often try to settle for less than what’s fair. At The Law Office of Jeffrey Weiskopf, P.C., our job is to fight for the full value our clients are owed — not quick payouts, but the right outcome.
