Accidents happen when you least expect them, and the physical, emotional, and financial burdens can be overwhelming. If you’ve suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence, hiring the best personal injury lawyer is crucial to securing the compensation you deserve.
At Redmond Law Firm, we are dedicated to helping injury victims in New York City navigate the legal process, fight against insurance companies, and recover maximum compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Why You Need the Best Personal Injury Lawyer
After an accident, insurance companies may try to minimize your claim or even deny it outright. Without proper legal representation, you may end up settling for far less than you deserve.
An experienced personal injury lawyer:
- Protects Your Rights – Ensures you don’t fall victim to unfair settlement tactics.
- Maximizes Compensation – Fights for the full value of your claim, including long-term medical expenses and lost income.
- Handles Legal Complexities – Navigates the statute of limitations, legal paperwork, and negotiations on your behalf.
- Provides Peace of Mind – Allows you to focus on healing and recovery while your attorney handles the legal battle.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
1. Car Accidents
Auto accidents are one of the most common causes of serious injuries. Whether you were involved in a rear-end collision, T-bone crash, or hit-and-run, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Future rehabilitation costs
For more on auto accident laws, check out the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
2. Slip and Fall Accidents
A slip-and-fall accident can result in severe injuries such as broken bones, spinal damage, or traumatic brain injuries. If a property owner failed to maintain a safe environment, you could have a valid claim under premises liability laws.
Read about property owner responsibilities on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) website.
3. Workplace Injuries
If you were injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation. However, if your injury resulted from negligence, you could pursue a personal injury lawsuit for additional compensation.
Learn about workers’ rights at the U.S. Department of Labor.
4. Truck Accidents
Truck accidents often lead to catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. Holding trucking companies and drivers accountable requires a skilled attorney who understands federal trucking regulations.
Find federal trucking laws at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
5. Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
Cyclists and pedestrians are among the most vulnerable on the road. If a reckless driver caused your injury, you might be eligible for compensation for medical expenses, physical therapy, and emotional distress.
Check pedestrian and bicycle safety laws at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
How Much Compensation Can You Expect?
The value of your personal injury claim depends on several factors, including:
- Severity of Injuries – More serious injuries typically lead to higher settlements.
- Medical Expenses – Compensation covers current and future medical bills.
- Lost Income – If you’re unable to work due to your injury, you can recover lost wages.
- Pain and Suffering – Emotional distress, PTSD, and reduced quality of life are considered in compensation calculations.
- Punitive Damages – In cases of gross negligence, the court may award additional damages as punishment to the at-fault party.

What to Do After an Accident
Taking immediate action after an accident can strengthen your case.
1. Seek Medical Attention
Even if injuries don’t seem severe, some conditions—such as internal bleeding or traumatic brain injuries—may not show symptoms right away. A medical report is crucial for proving your claim.
2. Gather Evidence
Take photos and videos of:
- Your injuries
- The accident scene
- Any damaged property
- Witness contact information
3. Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer
The sooner you speak with an attorney, the stronger your case will be. A lawyer ensures you meet the statute of limitations and prevents insurance companies from taking advantage of you.
