New York’s legal landscape for personal injury claims is particularly nuanced. From comparative negligence rules to strict filing deadlines under the statute of limitations, even a minor misstep can jeopardize a case. That’s why having a seasoned attorney is crucial. They know how to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and consult with medical experts to build a compelling case. Whether the injury stems from a car accident, a slip and fall, or medical malpractice, the attorney’s role is to prove liability and quantify damages—both economic and non-economic.
