Assessing Your Claim In Albany, NY
The strength of your claim will hinge on your ability to prove the other party’s negligence and the full extent of your related losses – both of which your respected personal injury attorney will knowledgeably take on.
The elements that must be present in order to bring a successful personal injury claim include all the following:
- The other party had a responsibility to your safety, which refers to a duty of care owed, but instead, they engaged in some form of negligence.
- Their negligence was directly responsible for the injury-causing accident.
- You suffered losses that the law addresses, including medical bills, lost income, and physical and emotional pain and suffering.
Time Considerations
In New York, you have only three years from the date of the accident that caused you to be injured to file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party, which is known as the statute of limitations. Because personal injury cases are complex, making the call to an esteemed personal injury attorney sooner rather than later is always in your best interest.
The kinds of accidents that are most commonly associated with personal injury claims include:
- Traffic accidents
- Train accidents
- Slip and fall accidents and other premises liability claims
- Accidents on construction sites and other work-related accidents
- Accidents caused by faulty consumer products

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need an attorney?
If you have been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, it’s always advisable to have a trusted personal injury attorney on your side. The success of your case could depend upon it.
The insurance company made an offer. Shouldn’t I accept?
The insurance company handling your case is focused on profits, and if it offers an early settlement, it likely means they’re attempting to put the matter behind them before you recognize the full extent of your damages. Don’t sign a settlement offer until you’ve discussed the matter with your attorney.
Can I afford an attorney?
Most personal injury attorneys work on contingency, which means they don’t get paid unless their clients’ claims are ultimately successful.
