Lynbrook Personal Injury Lawyer

People get injured all the time in a variety of locations. Still, when you are considering what qualifies for a “personal injury case,” you must consider whether a few other factors apply to your case. For example, in your case:

• Was your injury preventable?
• Could someone else have warned you about a hazard or taken steps to remedy it, and was it their responsibility to do so?
• Did the incident cause you serious injuries and damages?

If you answered “yes” to these questions, you might be eligible to file a personal injury claim or lawsuit with the party responsible for your injuries. You can work with a personal injury lawyer serving Lynbrook to help you fight for compensation, and they can guide you throughout the litigation process, no matter which route you decide to take.

Still not sure if you qualify for a personal injury case? We understand that “personal injury” might be a vague term to interpret if you are unfamiliar with personal injury law. Call our firm at (631) 239-3965 to speak with a representative at Rosenberg & Gluck, L.L.P. in a free case evaluation. We can tell you what qualifies as a serious injury, as defined in the New York Insurance Law (ISC) §5102.

Personal Injury Cases Cover a Variety of Scenarios

The possibilities of how a person might get injured are endless and sometimes shocking. You might be surprised how in-depth personal injury law can get to address all sorts of injury scenarios.

Our team at Rosenberg & Gluck, L.L.P. covers a variety of practice areas, such as:

Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability cases focus on injuries that occur on public or private property. If you were an invitee at a property—whether as a customer, patron, or guest in general—and you sustained an injury due to the property owner’s or manager’s negligence, you might qualify to sue for compensation.

Premises liability cases may involve:

• Slips, trips, and falls
• Drowning, such as in pools
• Construction site injuries
• Falling objects
• Battery and assault

Motor Vehicle Collision Cases

Getting injured in a motor vehicle collision is a common scenario for personal injury cases. These cases can get varied as multiple parties might be involved, whether literally in the crash or vicariously if one of the drivers was working at the time. Also, not all parties have to be in a passenger vehicle.

Motor vehicle collision cases may involve:

• Collisions with only passenger vehicles
• Motorcycle and moped collisions
• Truck collisions
• Collisions involving pedestrians
• Bicyclist collisions
• Rideshare vehicle or taxicab collisions
• Construction vehicle collisions

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Cases

If you suspect your older loved one is a victim of nursing home abuse and neglect, you need to take swift action so that they can get to safety as soon as possible if so. You can work with a personal injury lawyer to help you investigate and halt any abuse or neglect that might be taking place in your loved one’s home or facility.

Nursing home abuse and neglect cases may involve:

• Physical abuse, such as hitting or burning the resident
• Emotional abuse, such as yelling at or ignoring the resident when they need assistance
• Sexual abuse, such as forcing the resident to look at or perform sexual acts
• Financial abuse, such as stealing or manipulating money from the resident
• Neglect, which can also show a systemic failure in the facility

Dog Bite Cases

If you were injured because a dog attacked you unprovoked, you might be able to sue the dog owner if their identity is known. If the dog was a stray, you might have to pursue other legal options to get compensation.

Was your case not listed in any of these categories? There are several more types of personal injury cases that might apply to you. Call Rosenberg & Gluck, L.L.P. today at (631) 239-3965 and tell us about how you got injured. One of our team members can determine if you are eligible to receive compensation and then assign you a personal injury lawyer serving Lynbrook to help you with your claim or lawsuit.

A Lawyer Can Help You Fight for the Compensation You Need

Part of the benefit of working with a personal injury lawyer is that they may help you pursue a variety of damages related to your situation that you might not have considered. For example, if you bring a lawsuit, you might be able to collect compensation for:

• Lost wages
• Medical treatment costs
• Pain and suffering
• Mileage for traveling to and from doctor’s appointments

If you intend to bring a lawsuit against the party you believe is responsible for your injuries, you must file your case within the statute of limitations in New York. According to the New York Civil Practice Law & Rules (CVP) §214, you generally have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit. There are many scenarios where the time period may be significantly shorter than three years. Your lawyer can keep you informed about these deadlines and help you file timely.
