What Are Common Causes Of Catastrophic Injuries In Queens, NY?

Serious accidents occur daily on NYC streets and job sites, causing permanent harm. Our firm investigates your accident to identify all liable parties. We represent individuals injured in these incidents:

• Car accidents: High-speed collisions on the Long Island Expressway cause permanent physical damage.
• Slip-and-falls: Property owners who fail to maintain safe walkways cause devastating head or spinal trauma.
• Construction accidents: Falls from heights or equipment failures on New York work sites cause life-changing disabilities.
• Pedestrian accidents: Negligent drivers create extreme risks for travelers on Queens Boulevard.
• Bicycle accidents: Motor vehicles offer no protection to cyclists on crowded city streets.
• Rideshare and taxi accidents: Our firm manages claims involving Uber, Lyft and yellow cabs.
• MTA accidents: Whether you suffered injuries on the 7-Train or at Jamaica Station, we manage the complex claims process against the transit authority.

Our legal team scrutinizes every detail of these incidents to build a compelling case for liability and damages.

Types Of Catastrophic Injuries We Handle

New York law generally defines a catastrophic injury as one that prevents an individual from performing gainful work. Our attorneys document the long-term costs associated with these conditions. Our firm assists clients suffering from:

• Traumatic brain injuries: These injuries cause permanent cognitive impairment and personality changes.
• Spinal cord injuries: Victims face partial or total paralysis, including quadriplegia.
• Amputation: The loss of a limb necessitates expensive prosthetics and lifelong therapy.
• Degloving injuries: These severe traumas require multiple surgeries and leave permanent scarring.
• Burn injuries: Severe burns cause extreme pain and significant disfigurement.

We work with medical experts to ensure our demand for compensation reflects the full impact of your injury.

What Is The Statute Of Limitations For A Catastrophic Injury Claim In Queens, NY?

In New York, the general statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, including those involving catastrophic injuries, is three years from the date of the accident. However, crucial exceptions exist, particularly when a government entity or public authority is involved. For instance, if your claim is against an organization like the MTA, you must file a formal Notice of Claim within 90 days of the incident, followed by a lawsuit within one year and 90 days. Because these varying deadlines are strict and can permanently bar your ability to seek compensation, it is imperative to contact our office immediately to protect your rights and ensure your claim is filed properly and on time.
