Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Still Have a Personal Injury Case if I Share Some Blame?

Yes. New York uses a comparative negligence rule, so you might still collect damages even if you were partially at fault. Our team can review the situation, figure out how much responsibility each side holds, and push for the settlement you deserve. Don’t assume you have no case before talking to us.
