Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
At Redmond Law Firm, we represent clients in a wide range of personal injury cases, including:
Car Accidents
New York’s no-fault insurance laws can make car accident claims complicated. We help clients file Personal Injury Protection (PIP) claims and pursue additional compensation when serious injuries occur. Learn more from the New York Department of Motor Vehicles.
Truck Accidents
Large commercial trucks pose a significant risk on NYC roads. If you have been injured in a truck accident, our firm will hold negligent trucking companies and drivers accountable. Visit the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for trucking regulations.
Bus Accidents
Bus accidents, whether involving MTA public transit or private operators, can lead to severe injuries. Filing claims against municipal entities requires adherence to strict deadlines.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners in NYC are responsible for maintaining safe premises. If you were injured due to hazardous conditions, you may have a premises liability claim. See safety guidelines from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Construction Accidents
New York’s Scaffold Law (Labor Law § 240) protects construction workers from unsafe working conditions. If you were injured on the job, you may be entitled to compensation. More details are available at the New York Workers’ Compensation Board.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
NYC has one of the highest rates of pedestrian and bicycle accidents in the country. If you were struck by a vehicle, you may be eligible for compensation. See safety regulations from the New York City Department of Transportation.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating. We help families seek justice and financial recovery through wrongful death claims. See laws on wrongful death claims at the New York State Senate.
