Can you prove that someone else was negligent or strictly liable?
If someone acted without exercising reasonable care and you’ve suffered some type of damages as a result such as:

It depends on a lot of different factors.
The more serious your injuries, the more your case is probably worth. But, this is just a general rule. The pain and suffering that can accompany even a relatively minor injury can add considerable value to a case.
When you hire a personal injury attorney, they’ll carefully analyze your damages, consider how your injuries will affect you in the future, and consult with experts to value your case properly.
Nothing upfront. This gives you the opportunity to ask for help without having to worry about the cost. Personal injury lawyers work on contingency. They only get paid if they win your case.
If your case is successful, the lawyer recovers a pre-agreed-upon percentage of your award. This is typically anywhere between 33 and 40%.
Three years. That’s the statute of limitations for most personal injury lawsuits in the state of New York. If you’ve lost a family member in a fatal accident, then you’ll have a maximum of two years (from their date of death) to file a wrongful death lawsuit against those responsible.
You will lose the right to get compensation if you miss the deadline that applies to your case. Speak with a lawyer to make sure that procedural rules don’t stand between you and the money you need.
In New York, you can seek both economic (financial) and non-economic damages for your injuries. These help to cover your financial costs, as well as compensate for hard-to-value trauma.
Potential damages can include:
Punitive damages could be available if the defendant’s actions are deserving of punishment. These often apply in cases involving gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct.
Negligence means that a person caused another person to get hurt. This person failed to act reasonably under the circumstances and, as a result,
Negligence is the most common cause of action for many personal injury lawsuits. These include those involving auto accidents, slips and falls, medical malpractice, and wrongful death.
In order to win a case based on negligence, you will have the burden of proving four different things to establish liability.
This might seem straightforward, but proving negligence can be quite challenging. It’s best to trust an experienced lawyer to take charge and create a strong case on your behalf.
Statistically speaking, probably not. Only 4 or 5% of civil personal injury lawsuits end up going to trial. However, that doesn’t mean that you won’t end up in court. The insurance company might not offer you a fair settlement, or the at-fault party might just refuse to negotiate with you, at all.
Whether your case ends up going to trial or not, you’ll want to hire a lawyer with courtroom litigation experience. This will show the defendant that you won’t be pushed around or manipulated into taking anything less than a fair deal.
If an insurer knows your attorney is a winning litigator, they’re more likely to deal with you in good faith and negotiate fair terms.
At the Law Offices of Jay S. Knispel, we serve all neighborhoods in Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs, including:
Car Accidents
New York has no-fault insurance laws. But, that doesn’t mean that the process of recovering compensation after a car accident is easy. Our NYC car accident attorneys will help you make insurance companies play by the rules. When necessary, we’ll seek money directly from those responsible for your car accident injuries.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are vulnerable to catastrophic injuries when they’re in a motor vehicle accident. Negligent drivers tend to blame riders for causing collisions in the first place. Our NYC motorcycle accident lawyers will help you set the record straight and work to minimize fault that’s assigned to you. We’ll fight to maximize your compensation after your motorcycle accident.
Truck Accidents
Trucks play an instrumental role in the local economy. Unfortunately, they also create a serious hazard when they share the road with smaller vehicles. Following a trucking accident in the city, all responsible parties – negligent truck drivers, trucking companies, and/or manufacturers – must be held to account. Our NYC truck accident lawyers are prepared to invest the time and resources that are necessary to make that happen for you.
Pedestrian Accidents
NYC is notorious for having some of the most dangerous intersections in the nation. And, it’s pedestrians who tend to suffer when intersection accidents happen. Often, it’s distracted and rushed drivers who are to blame. Our NYC pedestrian accident lawyers will stand beside you and work tirelessly to hold those who caused your injuries accountable.
Construction Accidents
New York City is seemingly always under construction. And, while New York has some strict labor laws, construction sites aren’t always safe. Accidents are common. Following an on-the-job accident, injured workers have options. Our NYC construction accident attorney is prepared to help you pursue every avenue available – including workers’ compensation and/or third-party personal injury claims.

Businesses and property owners will be quick to fix a hazard after you slip and fall on their premises. That could mean that valuable evidence is lost forever – jeopardizing your ability to get the money you deserve.
