Manhattan Injury Lawyers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Manhattan is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. More than 1.6 million New Yorkers live in the borough.

If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident in Manhattan, it is important to speak with our experienced Manhattan injury lawyers. Maybe your car was hit by a commercial truck on Bowery. Perhaps you slipped and were hurt at a business in Hell\u2019s Kitchen. Or maybe you were injured on one of the many active construction sites in the city.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

No matter what kind of injury you have sustained, a Manhattan injury lawyer can help. A skilled attorney will examine the relevant factors in your case to help you financially recover from your accident. If you were hurt because of someone else\u2019s negligent actions, you deserve compensation. The Manhattan injury lawyers at Shaevitz & Shaevitz Law Offices are equipped to handle any type of personal injury case.<\/p>\n

Determining the Value of Your Personal Injury Case<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When you have been injured, you are likely to face many financial costs associated with your accident. Medical bills can add up rapidly and many victims are forced to miss work because of their injuries. The combination of lost wages and medical expenses can be overwhelming. You may be wondering how much a personal injury claim or lawsuit could help you, especially if the\u00a0accident wasn\u2019t your fault.<\/p>\n

At Shaevitz & Shaevitz Law Offices, you can consult with our knowledgeable Manhattan injury lawyers about the facts of your case. Our legal experts will examine the specific circumstances of your accident to help you establish your best legal options and secure the compensation you deserve.<\/p>\n

Following an accident, the first place that you should attempt to secure financial recovery is your PIP (Personal Injury Protection) insurance coverage. You may also need to file a claim with your personal health insurance company.<\/p>\n

However, it is important to speak with a qualified attorney as soon as possible. Insurance companies do not always have your best interests in mind and a legal professional will ensure that you receive all the money that they owe you.<\/p>\n

Regardless of which legal approach is best in your circumstance, there is no standard amount that you can expect from a personal injury case. Each accident is distinct. Our Manhattan injury lawyers will take many factors into account when determining how much compensation you should seek.<\/p>\n

Some of the factors that determine the value of your case include:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • How severe are your injuries?<\/li>\n
  • How have your injuries affected your day-to-day life?<\/li>\n
  • Have your injuries caused long-term impairment or disabilities?<\/li>\n
  • How much financial damage was (and will be) caused by your injuries?<\/li>\n
  • Have you lost wages or future earning potential as the result of your accident?<\/li>\n
  • What are the effects of your injuries on your emotional and psychological health?<\/li>\n
  • Was the other party negligent, careless, or reckless and to what degree?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Calculating the value of a personal injury case is a complex and nuanced process. No two accidents are exactly alike. The skilled lawyers at Shaevitz & Shaevitz Law Offices have years of experience determining the value of personal injury cases and fighting hard to win. They can assess the factors in your case to determine the best way for you to secure maximum compensation.<\/p>\n

    Types of Personal Injury Cases Our Manhattan Injury Lawyers Handle<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Personal injury law, also referred to as \u201ctort law,\u201d is an area of legal expertise that allows victims to seek financial compensation through the civil court system. In a city as large as New York, visitors and residents face numerous\u00a0types of accidents and injuries. At Shaevitz & Shaevitz Law Offices, we are experienced in handling every type of personal injury case.<\/p>\n

    Some of the most common types of accidents that occur in Manhattan include:<\/p>\n

    Car Accidents \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>In November of 2020, there were 8,894 reportable motor vehicle collisions in New York City. Of these, 3,029 resulted in an injury or death. If you have been hurt in a car crash, you are not alone. While some collisions may be caused by faulty equipment, most of these accidents are due to human error.<\/p>\n

    If your crash was the result of someone\u2019s negligent driving, you are legally entitled to seek compensation. Whether the other driver was distracted, drinking, speeding, or driving aggressively, the person responsible for your injuries should cover the costs.<\/p>\n

    Construction Site Accidents \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The construction industry has been rated as the most dangerous industry in New York for worker injuries and deaths. There are many hazardous conditions and pieces of heavy machinery on construction worksites that can cause a range of injuries.<\/p>\n

    Whether you have experienced a fall, been hit by a falling object, or suffered electrocution, you can seek financial recovery. If you have been hurt on the job, your case may require a third-party lawsuit or a workers’ compensation claim. Either way, speaking with skilled Manhattan injury lawyers is your best option.<\/p>\n

    Nursing Home Neglect or Abuse \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>According to the NCEA (National Center on Elder Abuse), roughly one in ten elderly people have suffered abuse of some kind. Unfortunately, sometimes abuse and neglect occur at the hands of professional caretakers.<\/p>\n

    Neglect and abuse can have severe physical and mental health consequences for elderly individuals. If you or someone you love has been abused or neglected in the context of a long-term care facility, you deserve financial recovery.<\/p>\n

    Slip & Fall and Trip & Fall \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Falling accidents are some of the most common personal injury cases. Perhaps you slipped and fell because of an unmarked wet floor in a business. Maybe you tripped because of an unanticipated object in your path inside a restaurant. If you have been injured in a falling accident because of the negligence of a business or individual, our Manhattan injury attorneys can help you to secure financial compensation.<\/p>\n

    Medical Malpractice Injuries \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Unfortunately, some injuries result from the negligence or carelessness of healthcare professionals. When a physician or surgeon does not provide a reasonably high standard of medical care, they can be held accountable.<\/p>\n

    There are a wide range of medical malpractice injuries, such as:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n
        \n
      • Injuries from the birth process<\/li>\n
      • Misdiagnoses and failing to diagnose<\/li>\n

      • Inadequate follow-up care<\/li>\n
      • Incorrect patient discharge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
