When You Need a New York, NY Personal Injury Lawyer
While it is true that not all situations require an attorney, there is a good chance you would benefit from the skills and knowledge of someone who knows New York state law if you were involved in an accident and suffered a serious injury. During your initial consultation, a personal injury lawyer will carefully listen to the details of your case and formulate a plan of action.
Depending on the circ*mstances of your case, your claim may be based on:
- Negligence: This type of claim is filed when your injury was the direct result of someone’s dangerous actions or inaction.
- Malicious intent: This occurs when someone intentionally caused you harm. If this is the basis of your claim, a criminal case may be involved as well.
- Product liability: These claims are filed when a product fails to meet safety standards and causes you harm.
After your initial consultation with one of our personal injury lawyers, we will have our legal team begin to gather evidence and conduct a thorough investigation of your case. Our well-established, award-winning New York law firm has the resources needed to take on and win your personal injury case.

Types of New York Personal Injury Cases We Handle
The personal injury lawyers at Hills & Moin LLP are dedicated to helping the injured. Our compassionate attorneys will work tirelessly to help you receive the highest possible settlement to compensate for your losses.
We have decades of experience handling a wide variety of personal injury cases in New York City and throughout the state including, but not limited to, the following types of cases.
Motor vehicle accidents
Anyone who has ever lived or visited New York, NY, knows how intense traffic is in the city. Countless motor vehicle accidents occur every day in New York City, but it is still unexpected when it happens to you or a member of your family. The majority of car accidents are minor, but a serious car accident can cause severe – even life-threatening – injuries.
Many car accident victims don’t receive the full amount of damages that they are entitled to. All too often, car accident victims will accept the first offer that the insurance company gives them, unaware of what their claim is truly worth. A car accident attorney will be able to determine the full value of your claim and handle all negotiations with the insurance company for you.
A statute of limitations is a state law that limits the amount of time you have to file a personal injury lawsuit. In the State of New York, anyone injured in a motor vehicle accident has to file a lawsuit within 3 years of the date the crash occurred. In the devastating event that you lost a loved one to death in a car accident, the statute of limitations to file a wrongful death lawsuit is 2 years.
If you or a loved one has been a victim of a car accident, don’t hesitate to contact an attorney today.
Medical malpractice
As a patient, you are placing your health in the hands of doctors and nurses, expecting to get a high quality of medical care. Tragically, not all medical professionals take that responsibility seriously. If you have suffered an injury, or a loved one suffered a wrongful death at the hands of a negligent medical professional, you may be due substantial financial compensation.
While many injuries and wrongful deaths occur every year due to medical malpractice, few claims are ever filed against the doctors, nurses, and care facilities responsible. A medical malpractice lawsuit serves not only to compensate you for your loss, but also hopefully deters these types of negligent actions from happening again and force medical professionals to act with greater care in the future. If you or a loved one has been a victim of medical malpractice, contact our personal injury law firm today.
Construction accidents
A construction site is a dangerous place to work and puts those who work there at a high level of risk. Construction work may perform many dangerous tasks such as: operating heavy machinery, lifting large objects like steel beams, and performing job duties at elevated heights. Yet, when proper protocols are followed, the risk of injury decreases greatly.
If you are an employee who was injured on a construction site, you will likely be eligible to receive workers’ compensation. However, if your construction accident injury is due to someone else’s negligence, you may be also entitled to pursue a personal injury claim.
Whether you are a construction worker injured on the job in New York City or an innocent bystander injured on a construction site, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
Premises liability
Property owners in New York City and throughout the state have a legal duty to keep their premises safe and free from hazards for those who enter there. When dangerous conditions on a property lead to injury, the property owner can be found negligent.
Premises liability accidents may be due to many different factors:
- Poor lighting
- Icy sidewalks
- Broken handrails or stairway accidents
- Insufficient security
- Dog bites
- Mold or chemicals
- Slip and fall accidents
- Sidewalks accidents
- Escalator and elevator accidents
If you were injured on someone else’s property, working with our personal injury lawyers can give you the confidence to pursue proper compensation.
