Personal injury law exists to protect people harmed by the careless or wrongful actions of others. At its core, this area of law centers on negligence—the failure to act with reasonable care, leading to injury or damage. To succeed in a personal injury claim, it must be shown that another party’s recklessness or inattention directly caused your accident and resulting injuries. However, proving fault can be complex. Defendants and insurance companies often argue that the victim contributed to the incident to minimize their own responsibility.
At Lipsig, Shapey, Moverman, Freund & Wisell, PLLC, our seasoned attorneys are well-prepared for these tactics. We build strong, evidence-backed cases designed to clearly demonstrate negligence and secure maximum compensation for our clients. If you or someone you love was hurt in an accident caused by another’s actions—or inaction—you may have the basis for a valid personal injury claim.
When you pursue a personal injury case, you are seeking compensatory damages—financial recovery meant to offset the harm you have suffered. These damages aim to restore your financial, physical, and emotional well-being to the position you were in before the accident. Compensation can include reimbursement for medical treatment, lost income, reduced earning capacity, and even the loss of personal or vacation time. Victims may also be entitled to damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other losses that don’t have a fixed dollar value.
If another person’s negligence has caused your injury, knowing your legal rights is essential. It’s common for insurance companies to reach out shortly after an accident, often requesting statements or offering quick settlements. These offers are typically designed to protect the insurer’s interests—not yours. Before speaking with them, consult an experienced personal injury attorney who can evaluate your case and ensure you are not pressured into accepting less than you deserve.
You shouldn’t have to face the aftermath of an accident alone—or settle for less than fair compensation. The dedicated legal team at Lipsig, Shapey, Moverman, Freund & Wisell, PLLC proudly represents injured individuals throughout New York City and beyond. We handle all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you owe nothing unless we win your case.
