What to Know About 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.

Time Limits and Legal Rights In New York

New York has a strict statute of limitations for personal injury cases. In most situations, victims have three years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline usually means giving up the right to pursue compensation. We recommend reaching out sooner rather than later to protect your legal rights. This also allows us to begin collecting evidence while it’s still fresh, something that can be critical in making your case stronger.

New York’s system also follows what’s known as comparative fault. This rule means that even if you’re partially responsible for what happened, you may still be eligible for compensation. For instance, if you’re found to be 20% at fault, your final compensation may be reduced by that amount. An Ossining personal injury lawyer on our team can help evaluate how these rules may apply to your situation and what steps to take.

Types Of Damages and What You May Recover

In a successful personal injury claim, financial damages can cover a wide range of losses. These often include medical expenses, lost wages, future treatment needs, and property damage. In some cases, a victim may also be entitled to non-economic damages for pain, emotional strain, and loss of enjoyment of life. Every case is different, and we approach each one with a careful review of the facts and a clear plan for how to present your claim.

Insurance companies often try to settle for less than a fair amount. That’s where having legal representation can make a major difference. When we take on a case at The Law Office of Jeffrey Weiskopf, P.C., our job is to fight for the full value of what our clients are owed, no more, no less. It’s not about quick payouts. It’s about doing things right and making sure our clients are treated fairly.

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. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from clients navigating personal injury claims in New York.

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.
