Under New York law, a personal injury occurs when an individual is harmed as a result of another’s negligence. An individual or entity may be found negligent if they fail to act as a reasonable person would in a similar situation. For instance, a doctor may be found negligent if an injury results from the failure to perform a diagnostic test that another physician would have ordered in a similar circumstance. Likewise, a driver may be deemed negligent if he or she operates a motor vehicle under the influence and injures another driver, passenger or pedestrian. As seen in these examples, under New York personal injury law, negligence can take the form of either an action (driving under the influence) or a failure to act (not ordering a necessary test). Negligence can been found in all types of personal injury cases, from car accidents to slip and falls, from construction site accidents to birth injuries.

Those who were hurt due to another’s negligence may be able to participate in a New York personal injury lawsuit to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages and other damages. There is a time limit, however, for filing New York personal injury claims, so legal assistance should be sought in a timely manner.
