Staten Island Injury Lawyers<\/h2>\n

If you have been injured in Staten Island because of the negligence of another party, you might be thinking of pursuing financial compensation. As is the case with any city environment, Staten Island contains many dangerous hazards and obstacles. For residents and visitors to Staten Island, personal injuries are common occurrences. Injuries become more likely when people act in negligent, careless, or intentionally harmful ways. If you’ve been injured due to the negligence of another party, the Staten Island injury lawyers at Shaevitz & Shaevitz can help you maximize your recovery and ensure you get the compensation you deserve.<\/p>\n

\"StatenPerhaps you were hurt while jogging in Latourette Park. Maybe you sustained an injury from a medical treatment at St. Joseph\u2019s Hospital or Richmond University Medical Center. Alternatively, you may have experienced a car accident on the Staten Island Expressway or while driving to the Bayonne Crossing shopping center.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the circumstances or nature of your injuries, you deserve to have skilled Staten Island injury lawyers represent you. The severity of personal injuries can vary widely. Some injuries only cause inconvenience or frustration. Others can have permanent consequences and negatively alter the course of your life.<\/p>\n

On top of the physical toll that an injury can take, the financial costs following an accident can be devastating. If your accident was caused by someone\u2019s negligent or reckless behavior, you should not face the financial consequences alone. You have the legal right to pursue monetary compensation.<\/p>\n

The trusted legal team at Shaevitz & Shaevitz Law Offices can help you to financially recover and get your life moving in the right direction again.<\/p>\n

Securing Financial Recovery<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is normal for injury victims to feel overwhelmed in the aftermath of their accident. Medical treatments, pain and suffering, and the frustration of mounting expenses can be devastating. But it is important to not lose hope. If you have been hurt, our Staten Island injury lawyers can help you to explore all of your legal options for financially recovery.<\/p>\n

Although no amount of money can undo the physical harm done by your accident, you have the right to seek compensation through the civil court system. Financial recovery can ease some of the burdens associated with your injuries, including medical bills, lost wages, and costs of future care.<\/p>\n

Under New York state law, accident victims must first file a claim with their PIP (personal injury protection) insurance provider. The claims process can be highly complicated and insurance companies are not known to work in the best interests of claimants. Because of this, speaking to our Staten Island injury lawyers can ensure that the insurance provider offers you a reasonable amount for your injury.<\/p>\n

Injury victims in New York must exhaust the maximum coverage from their PIP insurance before filing a personal injury lawsuit. In some cases, the costs from your injury may exceed the coverage limit from your personal injury protection insurance. If this happens, you have the right to bring a lawsuit or claim against the party responsible for your accident.<\/p>\n

At Shaevitz & Shaevitz Law Offices, we will work tirelessly to help you build a strong case and secure maximum financial compensation for your injury.<\/p>\n

Examples of Personal Injury Cases We Handle at Our Firm<\/strong><\/h2>\n

No matter what the nature of your accident may be, having knowledgeable Staten Island injury lawyers to review the facts of your case is crucial. The legal experts at Shaevitz & Shaevitz Law Offices have experience in handling all different kinds of personal injury cases.<\/p>\n

A few examples of the most common injury cases in Staten Island include:<\/p>\n

Car Accidents<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Recent findings by the New York Department of Health have shown that automobile collisions are the leading cause of accidental deaths statewide. Motor vehicle collisions also cause over $1 billion in medical bills in New York each year.<\/p>\n

Most collisions are the result of driver error. If you have been injured by a distracted, drunk, or otherwise negligent driver, you deserve financial compensation.<\/p>\n

Typical injuries from auto accidents include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n
      \n
    • Brain injuries<\/li>\n
    • Spinal injuries<\/li>\n
    • Burns<\/li>\n
    • Whiplash<\/li>\n
    • Fractures or broken bones<\/li>\n
    • Neck and back injuries<\/li>\n
    • Other catastrophic injuries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Motorcycle Accidents<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Motorcycles are a convenient source of transportation to get around the city. However, Staten Island presents motorcycle riders with a number of hazards.<\/p>\n

      Motorcycles only account for about 2% of the registered vehicles in New York City. But motorcyclists comprise over 10% of the traffic fatalities annually. The chance of experiencing a motorcycle collision is made worse by the crowded roadways in Staten Island.<\/p>\n

      While many motorcycle injuries occur due to the lack of proper safety gear, even well equipped motorcyclists may face significant injuries from an accident. Motorcycles do not provide the same types of structural protection as other motor vehicles might.<\/p>\n

      The likelihood of injury increases when other motorists drive negligently. Our Staten Island injury lawyers can help you to secure the compensation that you deserve after a motorcycle accident occurs.<\/p>\n

      Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Elder abuse is an unfortunately common occurrence. When aging individuals are unable to care for themselves, they sometimes move into long-term care facilities. Families place their trust in nursing homes to provide compassionate and professional care for their loved ones.<\/p>\n

      Sadly, these facilities sometimes fail to live up to their charge. Many long-term care facilities face funding and staffing shortages. This can cause the overburdened staff to neglect the needs of their residents. While the majority of professional caregivers are well intentioned, neglect can still cause enormous damage.<\/p>\n

      In some cases, nursing home staff members are intentionally harmful to the elderly residents. Research by the New York City Department for the Aging has found that about 7% of elderly people suffer some type of abuse each year. Elder abuse can be physical, sexual, emotional, verbal, or involve intentional neglect.<\/p>\n

      If someone you love has experienced elder abuse, contact a Staten Island injury attorney immediately. You have the legal right to seek damages from the individual or company that is responsible for the harm to your loved one.<\/p>\n

      Workplace Accidents<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Accidents in the workplace are incredibly common. Construction sites are particularly hazardous. Construction workers experience on-the-job injuries at an especially high rate when compared with other occupations.<\/p>\n

      Regardless of the industry in which an accident happens, most workers have the right to seek some form of compensation. Whether you are filing a workers\u2019 compensation claim or pursuing a personal injury lawsuit, our qualified Staten Island injury lawyers can help you to secure financial recovery in your case.<\/p>\n
