Babylon Personal Injury Lawyer

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

At the Law Office of Cohen & Jaffe, LLP we have extensive experience representing clients in a wide range of personal injury cases. No matter how you were injured, our legal team is dedicated to helping you secure the compensation you deserve. Here are some of the most common types of personal injury cases we handle:

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents can result in severe injuries and life-changing consequences. Whether you were involved in a car, truck, motorcycle, or rideshare accident, we can help you hold the responsible party accountable for their negligence. This also includes bicycle, pedestrian, and e-scooter accidents.

Premises Liability

If you were injured on someone else’s property due to dangerous conditions, you may have a premises liability claim. This includes slip-and-fall accidents, dog bites, negligent security cases, and injuries caused by unsafe buildings or property hazards.

Medical Malpractice

Healthcare professionals have a duty to provide safe and competent care. If a doctor, nurse, or hospital’s negligence resulted in injury, we can assist you with claims related to surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, or birth injuries.

Workplace Accidents

If you were hurt on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation or a personal injury lawsuit. We handle cases involving construction accidents, industrial injuries, falls from scaffolding, asbestos exposure, and other workplace-related accidents.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one due to another party’s negligence is devastating. If you’ve lost a family member in an accident, we can help you pursue a wrongful death claim to seek justice and compensation for your loss.

Product Liability

When defective or dangerous products cause injury, the manufacturer or seller may be liable. We handle cases involving faulty machinery, defective auto parts, unsafe consumer products, and dangerous devices.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Elderly individuals deserve to be cared for with respect and dignity. If your loved one has suffered abuse or neglect in a nursing home or assisted living facility, we can help you take legal action to protect their rights.

Boating and Cruise Ship Accidents

Boating and cruise ship accidents can result in serious injuries, from collisions and falls to unsafe conditions onboard. If you or a loved one were hurt in a maritime accident, we can help you explore your legal options.

Sports and Recreation Injuries

We represent individuals injured while participating in sports or recreational activities due to unsafe conditions, lack of supervision, or defective equipment. This includes cases involving injuries sustained at gyms, sports leagues, or recreational facilities.

Child Injuries

Children are particularly vulnerable to accidents, and when they are injured due to someone else’s negligence, we step in to fight for their rights. We handle cases involving playground accidents, school injuries, daycare negligence, and other incidents where children have been harmed.

What You Should Know About Personal Injuries

A personal injury is any injury that affects your physical or mental wellbeing. You can sustain such injuries from any number of accidents, such as those involving:

• Babylon Motor vehicles
• Workplace hazards
• Falls from heights
• Babylon Slipping or tripping
• Babylon Medical malpractice
• Babylon Truck Accidents

And these injuries, as you well know, can wreak havoc on your health, your family, and your finances. You may have even lost a loved one due to an accident.

We understand how stressful and upsetting your situation is. Not only do you have to deal with the physical and psychological consequences of your injury or loss, but you are also worried about how you will support your family, both now and in the future.

The Law Office of Cohen & Jaffe, LLP wants to help you in this fight. Call us at (866) 878-6774. The sooner you call us, the sooner we can get to work.

You Have the Right to Seek Compensation

Claimants can recover damages even if they are partially responsible for the accident. However, according to New York Civil Practice Law & Rules CVP §1411, the amount they can receive may be limited. You might find it helpful to hire a lawyer to go over your case. They will figure out how much compensation you qualify for and what laws to consider when filing your lawsuit.

The following are just a few examples of the type of damages you could be entitled to.

Non-Economic Damages

We know that your injury has turned your life upside-down and may impact you for a long time. However, you can seek non-economic damages for:

• Scarring or disfigurement that irreparably alters your appearance. It may even cause you physical pain or make using the affected body part more difficult.
• Pain and suffering that causes you physical distress (e.g., chronic pain) or emotional anguish (e.g., post-traumatic stress disorder)
• Diminished quality of life that stems from your inability to live independently or engage in activities that you once loved
• Loss of society or companionship that stems from the pain of losing a loved one in the accident

Economic Damages

Personal injuries can be very expensive. You might have had to pay:

• Medical bills for treatments such as surgery, physical therapy, follow-up appointments, and more
• Repair bills for fixing or replacing a damaged motor vehicle
• Funeral bills for laying your loved one to rest
• Other related bills for the expense of hiring someone to perform your usual chores, like childcare or housework

Your injury might have been so severe that you had to take time off work. This prevented you from earning money that would help you pay the bills mentioned above. You might even have had to sacrifice your career because your injuries will not allow you to work in your chosen field. You can sue for all of these things.

A lawyer might be able to identify some losses that you had not considered. Below is a more detailed list of how a lawyer can help you get the compensation you and your family need.
