You can have a personal injury lawsuit and a workers’ compensation claim going on at the same time. In most cases, personal injury lawsuits cover a wider range of damages and losses and will provide a much greater recovery than a workers’ compensation claim, so it works to your advantage to sue a negligent third-party for personal injury whenever the facts and the law will support the civil action. Unlike workers compensation claims, you have the right to a jury trial in personal injury cases where you can recover substantial pain and suffering damage awards that are not available in a workers’ compensation claim.
Premises liability is the legal term for a building owner’s responsibility to keep the property safe for the normal use of residents, visitors, customers, and passers-by. Proving premises liability claims and collecting financial compensation for people injured by dangerous property conditions has been an important focus of The Pryor Law Firm’s work since we opened our doors in 1999.
Property Damage
If you are a rider or other road user involved in a rideshare accident, the driver should carry plenty of insurance to cover any injuries or other property damage. Notably, neither Uber nor Lyft’s coverage meets New York limits, so drivers must have their own insurance to cover any damages that exceed companies’ maximums. If you need help figuring out whose insurance to contact after a wreck, don’t hesitate to reach out to an experienced Uber accident lawyer.
Watch our actual clients share their experiences with our firm and their reasons for highly recommending us to anyone who needs a top personal injury law firm. You will notice a common theme when our clients talk about us – we don’t just get great results for our clients, we treat them like family and they become personally connected to our firm. Every case we take on is personal to us. That is why the many clients are referred to us by former clients, other attorneys and even some judges who know our reputation for excellence.

Dog Bites
In cases in which a dog bites someone and causes injury, New York law uses a combination of legal principles called "strict liability" and "negligence". This means that the dog’s owner is responsible for any medical bills stemming from his or her dog's biting someone, even if he or she had made reasonable attempts to restrain and control the animal before the injury occurred. For costs that are not related to medical expenses, the owner must have failed to display reasonable care to control the dog in order to be held liable. This legal standard has been coined the "one bite rule" because once a dog has bitten someone its owner should be aware that the dog has the propensity toward violence.
