At Oresky & Associates, PLLC, our lawyers can handle claims involving:

Car Accidents

Every day, car accidents occur in New York. Our team can help you pursue compensation if you were harmed in a car accident. 

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycles can help you navigate the busy streets of New York, but motorcycle accidents are significantly more likely to occur than car accidents, per mile driven. These accidents often lead to catastrophic injuries. We can help you demand the justice you deserve.

Truck Accidents

Oresky & Associates, PLLC helps truck accident victims recover compensation after they are injured by truck drivers, careless truck companies that prioritize profits over safety, or negligent mechanics that do not properly repair or inspect large trucks. 

Brain Injuries

Brain injuries are some of the most devastating injuries victims can suffer. They affect every aspect of a victim’s life, including mobility, communication, cognition, and social relations. If you or a loved one suffered a brain injury, let us seek the compensation you deserve. 

Wrongful Death

In the most tragic personal injury cases, a defendant’s conduct is so impactful that the victim dies. The grieving family may only be left with the option to file a civil wrongful death claim to seek some sort of justice and financial accountability. Our compassionate team can guide you through the process.

Compensation Available in Sunnyside Personal Injury Cases

Damages are the losses you suffer in personal injury cases. New York divides these losses into two general categories.

Special Damages

Special damages are monetary losses you suffer that can be linked to a certain value, such as through a bill or estimate. Common types of special damages in New York personal injury cases include:

• Medical expenses, including past, current, and future expenses
• Past and future lost income
• Property damage
• Out-of-pocket expenses, such as transportation costs to medical appointments
• Costs for replacement services

General Damages 

General damages are your non-monetary losses. They are difficult to quantify because they are not directly linked to a numeric value. Common examples of general damages awarded in New York personal injury cases include:

• Pain and suffering
• Disability
• Disfigurement or scarring
• Scarring
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Loss of consortium

Your personal injury lawyer can help gather evidence and knows how to prove the value of these types of damages. They may use experts to better quantify your losses and how the injuries may impact your life. 

Comparative Fault in New York

In New York, you can still bring a claim against a negligent party even if you were partially to blame for the accident. The state’s contributory negligence law states that your own negligence is not a bar to recovery. However, your damages are reduced by your degree of fault. Therefore, if you suffered damages of $1 million and you are found 50% at fault, the most you would be able to recover is $500,000.

Statute of Limitations for New York Personal Injury Lawsuits

Each state has the right to establish time limits for cases that are brought to its state courts. These are known as statutes of limitations. According to New York’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases, you generally have three years to file a lawsuit against the defendant. If this time passes and you have failed to file a lawsuit, you can miss out on your opportunity to recover compensation from the defendant through the court system. 

There are exceptions when you may have more or less time than this. For example, wrongful death cases must be brought within two years of the death. Cases against New York governmental agencies are subject to faster notice and procedure deadlines.

However, if a minor was injured in the accident or the defendant has left the state, you may have more time to file your lawsuit. It is best to contact a knowledgeable Sunnyside personal injury lawyer who can review your situation and determine the deadline that applies to your case.
