Personal Injury

When a person suffers a personal injury or loss of a loved one as a result of someone else's actions, the pain is often multiplied by the presumption that the incident could have been avoided. Worse, lengthy emotional and financial hardships often ensue, leaving the victim feeling helpless and alone. In the unfortunate cases of medical malpractice and wrongful death, it is usually up to the victim's family to initiate a lawsuit. However, in the midst of the pain suffered during a loss, is often too exhausting and emotionally trying for families to focus on their personal injury settlements right away. Our New York City, New York personal injury lawyers are sensitive to your concerns and will work with you to establish the right case for your situation.

Personal Injury Liability

Who is Liable in Personal Injury Cases?

Reckless or inattentive activity, failure to employ proper safety precautions, or the lack of meeting established security guidelines can lead to personal injury, and are reasonable cause for an individual or group to be deemed negligent in New York. For example, a New York City, New York hotel can be deemed negligent and held liable for a personal injury if a guest is robbed due to a faulty lock on the door or safe. Negligence can be established if the plaintiff can ascertain not only that the defendant failed to meet standards of behavior expected of a reasonable person, but also that this deviation from reasonable behavior was the cause of the personal injury endured by the plaintiff. New York personal injury settlements and litigation depend greatly on liability, which is determined by the following:

» Strict Liability

Strict liability supposes that manufacturers who make defective products are fully responsible for taking reasonable steps to protect consumers and notifying them of any dangers associated with a product. Warning labels and adequate quality assurance steps are essential for preventing the release of defective parts and products to the public. Strict liability is independent from the concept of malice or intention, as long as the product was being used in the manner for which it was meant when the personal injury occurred.

» Intentional Wrong

An intentional wrong case alleges that a personal injury or death was intentionally inflicted. This type of allegation can be brought up separately from the defendant's other criminal charges.

Damages Awarded for Personal Injury Offenses in New York

Assuming a plaintiff can prove liability and damages for a personal injury, the justice system will award compensation to a victim or family of the personal injury victim. Insurance companies are often eager to come to out-of-court personal injury settlements immediately, before victims and their families have adequate time to assess the gravity of the injury or loss. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that New York City, New York personal injury victims immediately contact McCallion & Associates for professional and experienced personal injury lawyers to handle your case and ensure you receive ample compensation for your suffering.
