New York Personal Injury Attorney

Compensation & Damages Following an Accident

Being injured leads to many adverse effects in your life. Not only must you contend with the physical pain as you recover, you can also face tremendous medical bills. The situation is often compounded by your inability to work following your accident or injury, resulting in lost income when you need it most. In some cases, the damage you suffer can be long-term or even permanent and you must cope with the anguish this brings as you adjust to disabilities or disfigurement. If your injury was caused by the actions of another, seek advice from a New York personal injury lawyer immediately. The legal team at Jeffrey J. Shapiro & Associates have assisted thousands of individuals to recover fair and full compensation for damages to help them move forward with their lives.

Personal injury claims may be based on negligence, intentional and malicious acts, or circumstances of strict liability, in which a particular party is held liable such as in cases of defective products. Compensation should be pursued to cover your medical bills, the cost s of future medical care, lost income or reduced ability to earn an income and any other financial losses associated with your injury. With the help of our law firm, you could seek to recover damages for your pain and suffering, any loss of enjoyment of life and other non-economic damages.
