Types of Personal Injury Cases

At The Perecman Firm, our injury lawyers have the resources and experience to take on a wide range of personal injury cases, including cases that involve:

  • Construction accidents – Many injury accidents occur at construction sites due to hazardous conditions, lack of safety measures, or equipment failure. Many construction accidents result in claims against contractors, property owners, or equipment manufacturers.
  • Workers’ compensation – Workers’ comp claims arise due to work-related injuries or occupational illnesses. Workers’ compensation provides medical and wage replacement benefits to eligible employees who get hurt or sick on the job, regardless of fault.
  • Workplace accidents – These cases involve injury accidents in various work environments beyond construction, from office injuries to industrial accidents.
  • Premises liability – Premises liability law focuses on accidents, such as slips-and-falls or dog bites, that occur due to unsafe conditions on other people’s properties.
  • Catastrophic injuries – Catastrophic injuries are wounds that have profound, life-altering effects on victims, such as permanent brain damage, partial or total paralysis, amputations, and disfigurement.
  • Car accidents – Car accident cases involve collisions between motor vehicles due to negligent behaviors like speeding, distracted driving, or drunk driving.
  • Motorcycle accidents – Many motorcyclists get hurt in traffic collisions due to the negligent or reckless behaviors of car drivers, truckers, and other road users.
  • Truck accidents – These cases involve collisions with large vehicles like tractor-trailers. Given the massive weight and size of these vehicles, truck collisions often result in severe injuries.
  • Wrongful death – These cases arise when someone dies due to another party’s wrongdoing and/or negligent behavior. Survivors can recover money for their losses from successful wrongful death cases.

Steps to Take After Suffering a Personal Injury

In the aftermath of an unexpected injury, it’s common to feel blindsided and unsure of what to do next. However, the steps you take afterward can significantly affect any future personal injury claim. Here are some key actions to consider:

  • Seek medical attention. Your health is always the top priority. Even if your injuries seem minor initially, remember some symptoms might not appear for hours or even days after the incident. Getting a medical evaluation as soon as possible is the best way to look after your well-being and establish strong evidence of your injuries.
  • Document the incident. Write down your account of what happened while it’s fresh in your mind. Include as many details as possible, such as the date, time, location, conditions, and identifying information for potential witnesses.
  • Report the incident. If your injury occurred in a traffic accident, on someone else’s property, or at work, report it to the authorities, the property owner, or your employer as soon as possible.
  • Gather evidence. If possible, take photos, speak with witnesses, and gather physical evidence at the scene. Also, keep copies of all documentation related to the incident, such as hospital bills, income statements, and repair estimates.
  • Consult a personal injury attorney. Personal injury law is complex, and pursuing an injury case without legal guidance could harm your chances of receiving fair compensation. Consult our knowledgeable NYC injury attorneys, who can guide you through the process as soon as possible.
