Types of Personal Injury Accidents

As you go about your daily life in Long Island City, you likely do not stop to think about what can go wrong if proper precautions are not taken. Being involved in an accident that leads to a personal injury can impact you in a variety of ways.

Personal injury is a broad term that can encompass a wide range of accidents and injuries. The most common examples include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Motor Vehicle Accidents: Automobile, truck, motorcycle, or rideshare accidents that lead to injury or death
  • Bike and Pedestrian Accidents: If a motor vehicle driver strikes a cyclist and pedestrian, they may be held liable for any resulting injuries
  • Wrongful Death: An accident caused by another party’s negligence that led to a loss of life. Every year, there are nearly 8,000 injury-related deaths in New York.
  • Dog Bites: A dog attacking a person and biting them
  • Premises Liability: Property owners have an obligation to maintain safety on their premises. If you were injured because of a hazard on someone else’s property, you may be able to hold them accountable.
  • Slip and Fall Accidents: A person sustaining an injury due to safeguards not being in place for the public at large. These usually stem from wet floors, ice, or loose tiles and floorboards.

Any of these situations can occur when you least expect them. Hiring the right personal injury lawyer in Long Island City can help you file a claim and seek the compensation that you may be entitled to.

Who is at Fault in a Personal Injury Accident in Long Island City?

In the event of a personal injury, victims often wonder who might be responsible. In some cases, they may blame themselves. In reality, liability is not always as straightforward as one might expect.

A team of lawyers can conduct an investigation into the cause of your accident. At Shulman & Hill, we can compile medical records, building plans, police reports, and even witness testimonials in an effort to identify any liable parties at hand.

Our team can work diligently to determine liability and determine whether negligence is to blame. In much the same way that there are a wide array of accidents that one can consider a personal injury, there are also many parties that could be at fault. Examples of potentially liable parties include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • The driver of the vehicle
  • Property owner
  • Pet owner
  • Transportation company

If we can determine that any of these parties are responsible for your personal injury, our team of attorneys can provide legal counsel and design a strategy that best fits your unique needs. In order to properly file your claim, a lawyer will likely need to know the extent of your injuries.

Injuries That Can Occur in a Long Island City Personal Injury Accident

There is a slew of different types of injuries that one might face when they have a personal injury accident. If you are on your daily drive to work and a car runs a red light and crashes into you, you may experience a variety of injuries like whiplash, broken bones, or even severe head injuries. This type of accident can not only ruin your day but also your long-term well-being.

Another common personal injury may occur from a simple walk through your neighborhood. If you pass someone walking their dog and the animal bites you, you could suffer abrasions and even broken bones.

Other injuries that can happen include (but are not necessarily limited to) the following:

  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Burn injuries
  • Paralysis
  • Fractures
  • Internal bleeding
  • Severe sprains

Identifying the specifics of your injuries is crucial to pursuing compensation with any realistic chance of success. Without providing proper medical documentation that articulates the extent of the injuries you have suffered, it can be difficult to determine monetary value. Fortunately, lawyers at Shulman & Hill are well-versed in personal injury cases and can handle correspondence with doctors and medical professionals.

Am I Entitled to Compensation After a Long Island City Accident?

Depending on the factors surrounding your case, it is possible that you may be entitled to compensation for a personal injury accident in the Long Island City area. Many times these accidents can be extremely dangerous and cause significant injuries for those involved. In worst-case scenarios, people may even lose their lives in the blink of an eye. At Shulman & Hill, we work hard to help our clients pursue any compensation they may be entitled to after suffering injuries.

There are a few things that will figure into the amount of compensation we can pursue for our clients. We typically look closely at the medical bills that result due to a personal injury accident. In some cases, these accidents can lead to exorbitant medical bills that can put a significant strain on a victim’s finances. Additionally, if you miss time at work while recovering, we can also pursue lost wages. These wages you would have earned if healthy could be crucial to handling your normal household expenses.
