What Does It Mean to Prove Negligence in New York?
To recover compensation in a personal injury case, you generally need to show that someone else acted carelessly and that their carelessness caused your injuries. New York law refers to this as negligence, and it’s the legal foundation of most personal injury claims.
Your attorney must establish each of the following elements:
- Duty of care: The other party owed you a responsibility to act reasonably under the circumstances.
- Breach of duty: They failed to meet that standard through their actions or inaction.
- Causation: Their breach directly caused or contributed to your injuries.
- Damages: You suffered actual, measurable harm as a result, whether medical bills, lost income, or pain and suffering.
How Your Injury Claim Is Valued: Factors That Determine Compensation
Compensation in a personal injury case generally falls into two categories: economic damages, which cover measurable financial costs like medical expenses, and non-economic damages, which address the personal toll your injuries have taken.
Several factors influence what your case may be worth:
- The severity and permanence of your injuries
- The total cost of your projected medical care
- The strength of the evidence supporting your case
- The extent of lost income and future earnings
- The degree of impact on your daily life, physically and emotionally
How an Attorney Helps Laurelton Injury Victims Pursue Full Compensation
Most people do not realize how quickly the odds can tilt against them after an injury. The at-fault party’s insurance company and defense counsel are working toward one goal: paying as little as possible. Abaev Law Firm levels that playing field.
We dig into the details that others overlook: identifying every liable party, uncovering additional insurance coverage, and consulting with medical professionals who can speak to the long-term impact of your condition. Our attorneys have recovered millions because we refuse to back down when our clients are being undervalued.
