Personal injury law encompasses many cases where someone’s negligence or intentional actions harm another individual. Personal injury law aims to hold the responsible parties accountable and provide victims with the financial compensation needed to recover from their injuries.
NYC personal injury cases we handle
Our experienced personal injury lawyers in New York handle a wide range of cases, including:
- Vehicle accidents: Congested streets and aggressive drivers make car accidents a leading cause of personal injury. We represent clients hurt in collisions caused by driving under the influence, distracted driving, and other negligent behavior.
- Bicycle and pedestrian accidents: When car, truck, or bus drivers cause accidents with cyclists or pedestrians, the results can be devastating. Drivers are legally obligated to yield to pedestrians, especially in crosswalks. Our lawyers hold negligent parties accountable and secure compensation for injured cyclists.
- Slip-and-fall accidents: Unattended spills, uneven walkways, and poor lighting can create dangerous conditions that lead to slip-and-fall accidents. We advocate for those injured by these preventable hazards on someone else’s property.
- Construction accidents: Construction sites can be dangerous environments. We handle cases involving falling objects, scaffolding collapses, and other construction site accidents. Including violations of New York’s Labor Law which is designed to protect workers on construction sites.
- Medical malpractice: When medical professionals deviate from the accepted standard of care and cause harm, you may have a medical malpractice claim.
- Wrongful death: When negligence leads to the loss of a loved one, the emotional pain is compounded by financial hardship. We help families seek justice and monetary compensation to ease the burden of a wrongful death.
We also focus on nursing home abuse and sexual abuse cases, compassionately working with victims and their families. Lambrou Law is dedicated to serving those who have been hurt by wrongdoers and need a powerful, experienced law firm as an ally to win justice.
What kind of damages can we help you recover?
If you have been injured due to someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation (damages) for your losses.
Two main categories of damages are recoverable in NYC personal injury lawsuits: Economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages
- Medical expenses: These include past, present, and future medical bills related to your injury, such as hospital stays, doctor visits, surgery, medication, rehabilitation, and therapy.
- Lost wages: If you cannot work due to your injuries, you can recover compensation for lost wages during your recovery period. In some cases, you could recover lost future earning potential if your injuries permanently impact your ability to work.
- Property damage: This covers damage to your personal belongings because of the accident, such as damage to your vehicle in a car accident.
Out-of-pocket expenses: These include any other costs incurred due to your injury, such as transportation costs to medical appointments, home modifications to accommodate your disability, or childcare if you are unable to care for your children yourself.
Non-economic damages
- Pain and suffering: This covers the physical and emotional pain you have endured due to your injuries. The severity of your pain and suffering will be a major factor in determining the value of your claim.
- Mental anguish: This includes emotional distress such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and loss of enjoyment of life caused by the accident.
- Scarring and disfigurement: If your injuries resulted in permanent scarring or disfigurement, you may be entitled to compensation for the emotional distress and impact it has on your life.
Loss of consortium: This applies to spouses who can seek compensation for the loss of companionship, intimacy, and affection due to the injured spouse’s physical or emotional limitations.
What factors can affect the value of your personal injury case?
The amount of compensation you receive will depend on several factors, including:
- The severity of your injuries: More serious injuries with long-term consequences typically lead to higher awards.
- The impact of your injuries on your daily life: How your injuries affect your work, hobbies, and overall well-being is significant.
- The extent of your medical bills and lost wages: Documented medical expenses and lost income provide a concrete basis for compensation.
- The liability of the at-fault party: The degree to which the other party is responsible for the accident will influence the amount awarded.
Attorneys with Lambrou Law focus on getting the maximum financial relief because most victims can be unaware of how much their injuries will affect their lives.

We answer common questions about personal injury cases
Seek medical attention immediately, even if your injuries seem minor. Document the accident scene, gather contact information from witnesses, and report the incident to the NYPD if necessary. Contact an experienced personal injury attorney in New York City to discuss your case and protect your rights.
In New York, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the accident date. However, there are exceptions and specific circumstances that may affect this timeline. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure you file your claim within the required timeframe. Also, certain paperwork needs to be filed shortly after the incident, to get certain expenses paid.
It may not matter!! New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule. This means that you can recover damages regardless of your degree of fault, but your percentage of fault will reduce your compensation. For example, if you are found to be 30% at fault for an accident and the total damages are $100,000, you would be entitled to $70,000.
Nothing Unless we WIN!!
At Lambrou Law, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay any legal fees unless we win your case. This allows you to access quality legal representation without worrying about upfront costs.
