Suffering a personal injury is more than a physical setback—it can disrupt your finances, emotional well-being, and quality of life. If you’ve been injured because of someone else’s negligence, the road to recovery often includes legal action. At Cimasi Law Firm in Buffalo, New York, clients receive guidance focused on helping them pursue the maximum compensation allowed under the law.
Compensation Beyond Medical Bills
Personal injury claims often involve more than just immediate medical expenses. Cimasi Law assists clients in recovering a wide range of damages, including:
- Future medical care
- Lost wages and reduced earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Punitive damages in severe cases
New York law allows victims to recover these losses, but doing so requires a detailed case evaluation and a clear legal strategy.
Understanding the Legal Framework
New York personal injury law includes several key statutes that shape how claims are pursued and defended. These include:
- CPLR § 214, which sets the time limit for filing personal injury claims
- CPLR § 1411, which allows compensation even if the injured party is partially at fault
- CPLR § 5501, which defines the appellate review of damages
A knowledgeable attorney can guide clients through these complexities to ensure compliance and strengthen the case.
Defending Personal Injury Claims
Not all personal injury cases involve plaintiffs. Cimasi Law also represents individuals facing claims of negligence or fault. Defense strategies include:
- Disputing or reducing liability
- Challenging claims of contributory negligence
- Minimizing potential damages
- Utilizing expert testimony
- Exploring settlement through arbitration or mediation
Having legal support is just as critical for those defending against personal injury allegations, particularly when potential consequences include financial liability, license suspension, or even criminal charges in serious cases.
Why Legal Representation Matters
From gathering evidence and consulting with medical professionals to understanding how to navigate complex statutes, having a lawyer with a strong command of personal injury law can make a significant difference. At Cimasi Law, the focus is on helping clients achieve the most favorable outcome for their specific situation, whether they are seeking justice or defending their rights.
