Which Practice Area Fits Your Case?
Five of the most common situations we evaluate at the first call.
-
I was hurt in a car or rideshare crash in NYC. Where do I start?
Start with a free case review. If the crash was caused at least partly by another driver and you have a physical injury, you likely have a valid case. New York gives you 3 years to file, shorter if a city bus or NYC vehicle is involved, so do not wait. See our Car Accident page.
-
I was in a crash with a truck or commercial vehicle.
Truck cases are governed by federal and state safety regulations, and trucks carry much higher insurance limits, which often means larger recoveries for victims. The trucking company itself can also be held liable for negligent hiring or inadequate training. See our Truck Accident page.
-
I was hurt at work on a construction site (fall from a scaffold or ladder, fall into a pit).
Most on-the-job injuries are covered by workers’ compensation, but a height-related accident lets you sue the general contractor and property owner outside the WC system. Verdicts in these cases are often substantial because of the available insurance. See our Construction Accident page.
-
A doctor, hospital, or medical professional’s mistake caused harm to me or a family member.
Not every bad medical outcome is malpractice. Malpractice is a failure to meet the standard of care, and doctors, surgeons, hospitals, and nurses can all be held accountable. New York gives you 2.5 years from the date of the malpractice to file, with some exceptions. See our Medical Malpractice page.
-
My situation does not fit the categories above (slip and fall, dog bite, premises liability, wrongful death, etc.).
We handle the full range of personal injury matters in NY and NJ, including premises liability, slip and fall, dog bites, and wrongful-death claims. Call (929) 444-4444 for a free 24/7 case review, or stay on this page to learn how we approach personal injury claims start-to-finish.

Step-by-Step Guide for Filing a Personal Injury Claim in Brooklyn
Filing a Personal Injury Claim in New York
- Start with a Demand Letter: This notifies the insurance company of your claim and includes:
- Contact details for you and the insurer
- Incident date and accident details
- Injuries and medical treatment
- Damages list and settlement demand
Attach documentation to form a demand package.
- Negotiations: Expect a denial or low offer initially. If talks stall, you may need to file a lawsuit, though most claims settle out of court.
Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit
- File a complaint and summons with the court clerk.
- Pay filing fees and serve the defendant (service of process).
- Act promptly to meet legal deadlines.
Discovery Process This involves sharing evidence and includes depositions, interrogatories, physical evidence requests, and admissions. Non-cooperation can result in court sanctions.
Mediation and Settlement
- If discovery doesn’t lead to a settlement, try mediation with a neutral mediator.
- Once an agreement is reached, sign a binding settlement contract.
Trial Process: If unresolved, the trial includes:
- Jury selection, opening/closing statements, witness testimony, and evidence presentation.
- The jury deliberates and delivers a verdict. Appeals are rare but possible.

Personal Injury FAQ
How do I know if I have a valid personal injury case?
You may have a case if someone else’s negligence caused your injury. Three elements must be present: the other party had a duty of care, they breached that duty, and their breach directly caused your injuries and resulting damages. A free consultation with our attorneys can help determine whether your situation meets these criteria.
What should I do if I am injured in an accident caused by someone else?
Seek medical attention immediately, even if your injuries seem minor. Document the scene with photographs, collect contact information from witnesses, and report the incident to the relevant authorities. Avoid giving recorded statements to the other party’s insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
What types of damages can I recover in a personal injury case?
You can seek economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, future medical costs, lost earning capacity) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life). In cases involving particularly reckless conduct, punitive damages may also be available.
How much compensation is my personal injury case worth?
Case value depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your ability to work, your medical expenses, the degree of the other party’s negligence, and the available insurance coverage. Our attorneys evaluate every factor to pursue the maximum recovery for your situation.
Will I have to go to court, or do most personal injury cases settle?
The majority of personal injury cases settle before trial. However, insurance companies offer higher settlements when they know your attorney is prepared to go to court. Karasik Law Group prepares every case as if it will go to trial, which strengthens our negotiating position.
How long does a personal injury case take to resolve?
Most cases resolve within 6 months to 2 years, depending on the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and whether you have reached maximum medical improvement. Cases that go to trial take longer. We keep our clients informed at every stage of the process.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York?
In most personal injury cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Medical malpractice claims have a shorter deadline of two years and six months. Claims against government entities require a notice of claim within 90 days. Acting quickly is always better, as evidence can be lost or destroyed over time.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Karasik Law Group works on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront and owe no fees unless we recover compensation for you. We advance all costs of litigation.
