Common types of cases handled by a Bronx personal injury lawyer
While a personal injury can occur in a variety of ways, the following are among the most common types of Bronx injury claims our firm handles.
Dog Bites
New York permits dog-injury claims based on negligence as well as strict liability. Under Flanders v. Goodfellow (2025), an injured person may pursue a negligence claim based on an owner’s failure to use reasonable care. Strict liability may also apply when the owner knew or should have known of the animal’s vicious propensities. A prior bite is not an automatic requirement.
Medical Malpractice
This occurs when a provider makes a serious error in diagnosis, treatment, or surgery that another provider with similar training and experience would not have made. As the injured party, it’s up to you and your accident attorneys to prove that medical malpractice occurred and not that you simply felt unhappy with your treatment.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
All New York drivers have the obligation to obey traffic laws and not use mind-altering substances before driving. Please don’t hesitate to contact our law office if you feel the other driver displayed negligence and disregard for your safety and you need a Bronx car accident lawyer or have questions about filing a vehicle or motorcycle accident claim.
Premises Liability
The term premises liability means that the owner of a property has the legal obligation to keep it well-maintained to prevent injuries to visitors. Two common examples of premises liability include sustaining an injury from an attack in a parking garage because the rental property management did not employ security and slipping and falling on a wet floor in a shopping mall because the employee mopping the floor didn’t put up a sign warning that the floor could be slippery.
Slip, Trip & Fall Accidents
These common types of personal injury claims can occur due to tripping over an out-of-place object, slipping on ice, falling from a high surface, and many other causes. You have the right to seek legal representation for any type of fall accidents caused by negligence, including construction site or other workplace accidents caused by a third party.
Truck Accidents
Most 18-wheelers weigh at least 10,000 pounds. When you think of it that way, it’s easy to see how people driving a personal vehicle have little chance of auto accidents involving large commercial vehicles. Although the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration enforces dozens of safety rules, it doesn’t always prevent serious injury or wrongful death of innocent parties.
Workers' Compensation
While the New York Workers’ Compensation system generally provides the exclusive remedy against an insured employer, you may have a legitimate personal injury case against a third-party vendor or another party that caused or contributed to your injuries through negligent actions.
Wrongful Death
If you suffered the loss of a loved one due to another party’s wrongful conduct, a New York wrongful death action generally must be commenced within two years after the date of death. The action is brought by the duly appointed personal representative of the estate, who may be a family member. Our attorneys can help explain the appointment process and the claim under EPTL § 5-4.1.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find out what you need to know about filing a personal injury claim in the Bronx and how our team of award-winning accident attorneys can help you.
New York’s comparative negligence rules can reduce the damages recoverable in proportion to a person’s share of fault. Under CPLR § 1411(b), recovery is barred in personal injury actions subject to Article 51 of the Insurance Law when the claimant’s fault exceeds the combined fault of the defendants. Other claims remain subject to the general proportional-reduction rule. Which rule applies depends on the claim and the applicable law.
For example, if the other party is 75-percent responsible and you are 25-percent responsible, a proportional reduction would leave 75 percent of the otherwise recoverable damages.
When it comes to personal injury cases, plaintiffs may be eligible to receive both economic and non-economic compensatory damages. Those in the first category include your current and future financial losses associated with the car accident or other types of accidents caused by someone else’s negligence.
Medical expenses, which include hospital and clinic costs, prescriptions, durable medical equipment, and adjustments to your home or vehicle due to your injuries, are the most common category of personal injury compensation.
This category also includes expenses related to mental health treatment for issues such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Accident victims in New York City and the surrounding communities often receive these forms of economic damages as well:
Lost Wages
This covers the actual wages you lost while recovering from your injuries as well as projected lost wages in the future. If you must work part-time, accept a position with less compensation to accommodate your limitations, or stop working entirely, your personal injury lawsuit should reflect this.
Property Damage
You could receive funds to repair or replace anything damaged in the accident such as a personal computer.
While economic damages might sound straightforward, it can be challenging to calculate financial losses that have not occurred yet. This is just one more reason why it’s important to work with an experienced NYC personal injury attorney who can provide accurate predictions and present evidence supporting your losses.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages address losses such as pain and suffering. Their value depends on the evidence of how the injury has affected your life and the legal standards that apply to your claim.
Two common examples include:
- Pain and suffering: Regardless of how your accident happened in the Bronx, you may experience ongoing physical and emotional pain and suffering because of it. For example, a construction accident may leave you with a traumatic brain injury that takes years to recover from, and that makes you feel fatigued and unfocused in addition to numerous physical symptoms. You could also struggle with mental health issues so severe you can’t work due to the traumatic nature of the accident and your injuries.
- Loss of enjoyment of life: Maybe you loved taking pictures in Queens and Staten Island or going to nightclubs in Brooklyn but no longer can due to the severity of your injuries. Your challenges could also leave you with little enthusiasm for life where you loved it prior to the accident.
Many elements can influence the value of your Bronx personal injury claim, ranging from medical expenses to emotional damage.
Variables that should be taken into consideration when determining the value of your personal injury claim include; the level of pain endured by the victim, effects on earning potential due to impaired mobility or ability to work, associated medical expenses accrued as a result, and any property damage incurred.
The amount of a personal injury settlement in the Bronx can also be influenced by other components such as each party's degree of fault in an incident, available insurance coverage, and where exactly the injury occurred.
If your personal injury claim ends up in court if insurance company negotiations fail, a jury will consider factors such as your age, general health, how many years you have left to work, and whether others count on you for financial support when determining a fair settlement offer.
