- Car collisions
- Pedestrian injuries
- Truck collisions
- Dog bites
- Bicycle collisions
- Construction site injuries
- Medical malpractice
- Slip and falls
- Trip and falls

Do Not Wait to Contact A Personal Injury Lawyer in Suffolk County, NY
There is a risk in waiting to contact a personal injury lawyer in Suffolk County, NY, as the state puts a time limit on your ability to bring a personal injury claim. Per New York Civil Practice Laws § 214, victims of another person’s negligence generally have three years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim. If you have lost a loved one, that window may be shorter. New York statutes on estates, powers, and trusts (§ 5-4.1) provides two years if you are filing a wrongful death claim, generally.
There are exceptions to these statutes of limitations, such as cases where the victim is suing a municipality. Regardless of the time that has passed since you or your loved one’s event, call a personal injury lawyer in Suffolk County, NY, today.
Proving Liability in a Personal Injury Case
Along with the aforementioned duties, it will be the job of your personal injury lawyer in Suffolk County, NY, to prove the liability of the defendant and the value of your damages if your case goes to trial. This proof is generally done through a four-step process:
- Establishing the duty of care of the defendant
Whether the defendant is a motorist, property owner, product manufacturer, or some other party, New York law states that people have a duty not to put others at an unreasonable risk of harm. This principle is called one’s duty of care.
- Proving that the defendant breached their duty of care
A breach of duty of care looks different based on the details of each case. It may be a drunk driver or a property owner failing to install handrails, but these are just two of countless examples of how the duty of care may be breached.
- Establishing causation
Here, we will aim to prove that the defendant’s actions contributed to or caused your injuries or loved one’s death.
- Calculating damages
We will present medical and economic evidence to establish the damages you are entitled to recover based on your losses.
Damages You May Be Entitled to in a Personal Injury Case
Each personal injury case is different, but if you were injured or a loved one was killed as the result of another person’s negligence, you may be entitled to damages covering:
- The cost of emergency transportation
- ER bills
- The cost of your hospital stay and any surgery you required
- Lost wages
- Diminished earning capacity
- Long-term disability
- Pain and suffering
If your case involves wrongful death, you may be entitled to additional damages including:
- Funeral costs
- Loss of companionship
- Loss of guidance
- Loss of financial protection
- Pre-impact terror endured by your loved one
