Injury Attorney in Manhattan

You may be able to pursue several types of injury claims. Vehicle accidents, including car, motorcycle, and truck collisions, are among the most common. These cases often involve proving that another driver was at fault due to negligence, such as speeding or distracted driving.

Other common claims include premises liability cases, like slips and falls on someone else's property, and medical malpractice, where a healthcare provider's negligence causes harm.

On the other hand, product liability claims involve injuries caused by defective or dangerous products. Each type of claim has unique elements, but all require proving that someone else's actions caused your injuries.

At Morgan and Morgan, our attorneys have access to powerful legal resources to investigate your case and hold the other party accountable. Because we are big and powerful, we can handle any injury case in Manhattan as long as it’s valid.

To successfully pursue an injury claim, certain elements must be established. These include:

• Duty
• Breach
• Causation
• Damages.

Essentially, what this means is that you must show that the other party owed you a duty of care; they breached that duty and this breach is what caused your injuries, and also resulted in damages. Again, that’s one of the things our attorneys can help you establish once we’ve determined that you have a viable claim.

In a personal injury case, you can claim several damages, sometimes economic and non-economic.

These might include but are not limited to the following:

• Medical expenses
• lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Property damage
• Rehabilitation costs
• Future medical care

On top of that, in cases where the defendant was extremely negligent, you may be able to recover punitive damages.

Each case is unique, so it's important to have your specific situation reviewed by an injury expert in Manhattan. At Morgan and Morgan, we have a team of experts ready to review your case for free. If viable, we might also be able to represent you for free unless we win. Contact us today to get started.
