Welcome to the legal resource website for New York residents. Our lawyers provide legal information to individuals from New York and surrounding areas who have been involved in accidents or have been injured due to negligent medical care.

If you have experienced a construction, trucking, motorcycle, or auto accident, you need to contact a local injury attorney serving the New York City boroughs – the Bronx, Staten Island, Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan – and all of New York state as soon as possible. If a report of the accident has not been filed by the police, a hospital, or your employer (in the case of an on-the-job injury), report your injuries to your doctor and receive the appropriate medical treatment.

It is always best to see a doctor after an accident, even if you have not sustained any apparent injuries. In many cases, people who feel perfectly fine immediately after an accident may begin experiencing pain from whiplash or herniated discs hours or even days later. Make sure to report all symptoms to the doctor. Even a small health irregularity may be a sign of a larger injury to come, and the insurance company attorney will likely attempt to prove that all injuries sustained are unrelated to the accident.

Keep a detailed record of your symptoms and activities using a calendar. If you have to miss work because of your injuries, note which days you did not attend work. Also note when you were unable to enjoy your leisure time because of your injuries or medical appointments. This information will be useful to your personal injury attorney. Residents of the Bronx and other New York City and New York state areas are invited to obtain complimentary personal injury legal advice by calling 1(800) WE-FIGHT or e-mailing an attorney.
