White Plains Personal Injury Attorney

Many people don’t realize how much a serious injury can disrupt everyday life until they have experienced it themselves. It can be overwhelming when you realize that, as you are physically healing, you will also need to decide how to pay for medical expenses on top of regular bills – especially if the injury is serious enough that you can’t return to work either temporarily or permanently. What adds additional frustration is knowing that you would never have been injured if someone else hadn’t behaved negligently.

How A Personal Injury Attorney Can Help You

Personal injury lawsuits cover all categories of accidents, including car crashes, construction accidents, slip and fall, and medical malpractice. The law which applies to these cases is very complex and addresses issues of liability, safety regulations, structural engineering, and the losses suffered by the plaintiff.
