PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER QUEENS

Common Personal Injury Types 

As you can imagine, personal injuries come in all sorts of forms. However, there are a variety of injuries that are much more common than others, including some of the following.

SLIP AND FALL INJURIES

A slip and fall is a type of premise liability, which is a personal injury resulting from a failure to maintain a premise adequately. In Queens, one common type of slip and fall is due to icy or slippery walkways during the winter months. On public, semi-public, and even private and government properties, there is an individual or team that is responsible to maintain walkways for safe access. If the responsible party fails at this duty of maintaining a safe walkway in all conditions, then they should be held liable for any injuries that result from this improper maintenance. 

CAR ACCIDENT PERSONAL INJURIES

Car accidents are extremely common in New York and the United States in general. In fact, between January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2020, the NYC Open Data Portal has more than 163,000 car accidents recorded in Queens alone, with 166 people killed and more than 37,000 reported injuries in this period of time. If you are injured in a car accident, do not let yourself become just another statistic. We will help you get the compensation that you deserve so that you can move forward with your life with the financial support that you need and deserve.

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE PERSONAL INJURIES

Medical malpractice is a serious issue that no patient hopes to ever encounter. When you are working with a medical team, you have every right to expect that you will be handled by experienced professionals who are operating in your best interests and with the intention of minimizing harm to you. Unfortunately, an alarming number of patients across the United States are injured and even killed, each year due to improper medical treatment such as surgical errors, misdiagnoses, and more.
