Manhattan Personal Injury Lawyer

A personal injury can be devastating, painful, and incredibly disruptive. The medical bills can be high, and the pain can be intense, requiring a long process of recovery.

While hopefully you and your loved ones are never involved in an accident that could leave you with serious injuries, if it does occur, there are resources available.

If you are involved in an accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your various losses. You can review your case for free with an attorney at Shulman & Hill. Our Manhattan personal injury lawyers have recovered millions of dollars in compensation for our clients and we will fight just as hard for you.

Types of Manhattan Personal Injury Cases

“Personal injury” is a broad term and may include many types of accidents. You may have experienced a car accident, a slip or fall at a grocery store, or were hurt by a doctor in the form of medical malpractice. Regardless of the cause, your injuries can decrease your overall quality of life and prevent you from working.

Personal injuries include—but are not necessarily limited to—the following:

Motor Vehicle Accidents

It is extremely important to be vigilant and cautious when driving. Practicing safe driving is particularly critical in a busy area like Manhattan since high traffic density is linked with a higher-than-average risk of being harmed in an accident.

Just in April 2021 alone, there were 2,516 motor vehicle accidents in Manhattan. If you are ever injured in a Manhattan vehicle accident as a passenger or driver, you may be able to recover compensation for your medical expenses, pain and suffering, and more. Passengers in rideshares like Uber or Lyft may also qualify for compensation.

Pedestrian Accidents and Bike Accidents

Hundreds of pedestrians and cyclists are injured in motor vehicle collisions every month in Manhattan, according to the New York City Police Department.

Accidents involving pedestrians and bicyclists are common in busy areas like Manhattan and can leave victims with life-long injuries.

Manhattan Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability laws, regulations, and standards require property owners and managers to keep customers and visitors on their properties safe. Property owners must take steps to guard against hazardous conditions that may cause accidents by maintaining their properties accordingly.

Potential hazards may include spills on floors or broken steps. If it is impossible to eliminate a hazard entirely, a property owner must sufficiently warn guests with proper signage.

Premises liability cases may also arise due to insufficient security. If you were injured at a nightclub or similar establishment because ownership failed to take adequate steps to keep violent individuals entering the premises, you may have a right to compensation.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

Just as property owners have a legal responsibility to prevent accidents, dog owners and owners of other dangerous animals have a responsibility to ensure their pets do not harm others.

Many pets can cause serious harm if they attack. Injured victims may be entitled to compensation when pet owners neglect their responsibilities.

Accidental Death

Manhattan personal injury lawyers also handle accidental death cases. In worst-case scenarios, negligence can lead to fatal accidents. Surviving family members can pursue compensation for a range of losses. If you lost someone as a result of negligence, we can help determine and recover compensation accordingly.

How a Personal Injury Law Firm in Manhattan Can Help

Our personal injury lawyers at Shulman & Hill approach each case differently depending on the circumstances. We consider the details of each and every case to determine how to proceed. Consult with our Manhattan personal injury lawyers to help build a stronger case.

The following are some of the ways we can help seek compensation after you or a loved one have been injured as a result of negligence:

Determining Liability

The process of determining liability can be complex. It requires conducting a thorough investigation to accurately identify any and all liable parties that may be responsible for compensating you.

In New York, your insurer is typically responsible for providing medical benefits and reimbursement of loss of income after a car accident, regardless of who was at fault for the accident. However, when the accident was caused by another’s negligence, you may be entitled to additional compensation for your pain and suffering and additional economic losses that were not covered by your own insurance. A Manhattan personal injury attorney can investigate your case to identify all potentially liable parties.

Filing a Claim

The process of seeking compensation involves filing an insurance claim. These are complex tasks to complete if you do not have prior experience doing so or a legal background. Contacting the personal injury professionals at Shulman & Hill can be beneficial. We can assess the full extent of your losses, as well as assist in collecting all necessary paperwork and relevant evidence.

Negotiating

The negligent party’s insurer may try to offer a lower settlement than what your claim truly is worth. When working with a skilled personal injury lawyer, you do not need to work with insurance companies directly. We will negotiate on your behalf, helping to secure a fair settlement. If this is not possible, our attorneys are prepared to represent you in trial.
