Personal Injury Law
Any injury, from mild to severe to life-threatening, deserves compensation from the at-fault party. At Sunshine, Isaacson & Hecht LLP, our New York personal injury lawyer, is dedicated to helping you recover from the accidental injuries you have suffered.
Accidents are unpredictable but usually preventable. When someone acts recklessly, their negligent behavior can cause personal injuries to innocent people. Such injuries may take a lot of money to recover from. If you or a loved one sustained an injury from someone else’s negligence, our personal injury law firm could help you secure maximum compensation with a personal injury claim or lawsuit.
What is a Personal Injury in New York?
Personal injury refers to when a person incurs physical, mental, or emotional injuries rather than injuries to their property. Property damage is only compensable in these situations if it involves personal bodily harm.
Some examples of personal injury cases that our legal team handles include:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Slip and Fall Accidents
Pedestrian Accidents
Medical Malpractice
Injuries from Faulty Products
Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
Construction Accidents
Work-Related Accidents
Poor Road Conditions
Through a personal injury claim or a lawsuit, you can legally demand the at-fault party pays for the losses you’ve suffered from the injury due to their reckless, negligent, or malicious acts.
After a personal injury accident, victims are often limited in time, knowledge, or energy to navigate through the complex legal proceedings governing a lawsuit. Having our New York personal injury lawyer leading your case from start to finish ensures that you can devote your entire time to recovering from the accident. While you focus on healing, our legal firm handles the process of obtaining fair compensation for accident victims just like you.

How Our New York Personal Injury Attorney Can Help with Your Lawsuit
The impact of personal injury can cripple your physical and mental health. Even a non-life-threatening accident can leave psychological trauma that can take years to recover from. On top of that, you could face mounting medical bills that you were unprepared for.
Don’t lose hope – if you choose to hire our personal injury lawyers, we will handle the entire legal process related to retrieving compensation. We will also offer you legal guidance whenever required.
Here are some of the services we offer for New York personal injury cases:
We Will Conduct a Thorough Investigation of the Case
We will first verify that you as the injured party have a legally valid case with a reasonable potential for compensation. We will then investigate your case in-depth to identify evidence and the at-fault party.
We Will Prove Negligence
Our attorney will develop an evidence-based case that demonstrates the defendant’s fault. For this, we will prove the four elements of negligence:
Duty of care:
The at-fault party owed you a duty of care. For example, a business owner is responsible for keeping their premises free from any hazard that may cause injuries to their employees or customers.
Breach of duty:
The at-fault party breached the duty of care. For example, a business owner could fail to fix a broken step.
Causation:
The accident or incident resulted from a breach of duty. For example, the broken step caused you to trip and fall.
Losses:
You suffered losses from the accident. For instance, you could have broken your leg from falling on broken steps.
We Will Calculate Your Case’s Value
We will look at the facts of your case and interview you to determine the full range of compensable damages you have suffered. We will then assign a dollar value to your case.
We Can File a Claim with the Insurance Company
We will submit a claim and a demand letter to the at-fault party’s insurance company. All the necessary forms and supporting documents will be submitted.
We Will Negotiate with the Insurance Company
Your attorney will handle all communication with the other party’s insurance company. Their insurance adjuster is looking out for their bottom line, not your best interest. The job of an insurance adjuster is to reject or lowball insurance claims. We will negotiate with the insurer until fair compensation is reached.
We Can Represent You in Court
In a few cases, the insurer will not budge and agree to fair compensation. If this happens, we will move forward with a personal injury lawsuit and present your case in court. One way or another, we will strive to reach a fair settlement.

How Our Personal Injury Lawyer in New York Can Assist with Your Case
New York’s statute of limitations restricts your time to pursue legal action against those responsible for your injuries. It’s crucial to be aware of these limitations to ensure you do not miss the window to file your claim.
In New York, personal injury victims generally have three years from the date of the accident or incident to file a claim. Failing to act within this time frame can result in the court dismissing your case, forfeiting your right to compensation. However, there may be exceptions where the deadline can be extended. Our attorney can explain how the statute of limitations will affect your case, depending on your situation.

Testimonials
Whoever said Money Can't Buy Happiness has never paid for a Divorce! Jason Isaacson has represented me vigorously and diligently in my hotly contested divorce. This was a litigated matter and was resolved in a tad over one year. That is really quick for any litigation, let alone a matrimonial matter that was fought on every issue. Not only was he aggressive in moving this case forward, we WON every time we went to Court! I got exclusive use and occupancy of my home! I got my car back that my ex-wife stole. I got back all the money I invested into my marital home. I have also referred many clients to Jason for matrimonial, child support and contested divorce and he wins for them too! Every client I have referred has been very happy. For my clients who are lovers and not fighters, I refer the to Jason Isaacson for mediation. As difficult as divorce is, I am the happiest I have been in my life and appreciate everything Jason has done ❤️

How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Case?
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may have a personal injury case. Common factors include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, or property damage caused by the incident. Contact our team for a free consultation to evaluate your situation.
What Should I Do Immediately After an Accident?
If you’ve been in an accident, prioritize your safety and health. Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries don’t seem serious. Document everything—take photos, collect witness information, and file a police report if necessary. Then, contact us at Sunshine Isaacson & Hecht, LLP to discuss your legal options.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in New York State?
In New York, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years from the date of the incident. However, certain cases may have shorter deadlines, so it’s crucial to act promptly and consult with us to ensure your rights are protected.
What Types of Compensation Can I Receive in a Personal Injury Case?
You may be eligible for compensation covering medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and future expenses related to your injury. We’ll work tirelessly to maximize the compensation you deserve.
How Much is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
