What Is Personal Injury Law?

Personal injury law refers to the types of civil lawsuits that can be filed by those who have been harmed through another party’s negligence. What is negligence? Negligence occurs when a group or person fails to act reasonably in a given situation. Common examples of negligence include:

• drunk driving
• failing to enforce the correct safety standards on a job site
• ignoring a slip and fall hazard on a property
• making a medical mistake

Personal injury lawsuits are filed so that the plaintiff, the person who was seriously injured because of another’s negligence, has the opportunity to recover compensation. Compensation obtained through a lawsuit is intended to allow the plaintiff the financial means needed to restore their quality of life. This typically covers losses such as medical expenses, lost wages, and even non-monetary losses such as physical and emotional suffering. The total amount that can be recovered always varies between plaintiffs because no two people suffer the same losses.

The attorneys at Banville Law, which has an office conveniently located in Westchester County, understand the physical, mental, and financial pain that is suffered by our clients. Our goal is to ensure you can get the care you need and to support you during each step of the legal process. Contact us today to learn more.

Car Accident Lawsuits – When Should You Speak With A Lawyer?

If you’ve been involved in a car accident and you sustained serious injuries, you already know how just a few moments can change your life. You’re likely struggling with expensive medical bills and fighting with the insurance companies. So when is it time to contact an attorney? The answer may surprise you – car accident victims should contact an attorney as quickly as possible.

Car accidents can cost a victim their health, their job, and their ability to enjoy life. While no amount of money can ever change the past, it can ensure that a plaintiff is able to obtain all medical treatments that they require for the rest of their life and can replace past and future lost wages. It’s important to take legal action quickly because the evidence does disappear quickly and a statute of limitations applies, which means victims only have a short period of time to file their paperwork.

The lawyers at Banville Law have helped thousands of car accident victims recover the compensation they deserve. Contact our local law firm today to learn more about the past settlements and verdicts our attorneys have obtained and how we can help you.

What Clients Say About Our Law Firm

You Can File A Work Accident Lawsuit After Being Hurt On The Job

Have you avoided contacting an attorney after a work accident because you believe that you aren’t eligible since workers’ compensation prevents lawsuits filed against an employer? While it is true that in the majority of cases, a lawsuit can’t be filed against your employer, accidents frequently occur because of the negligence of a third party. Lawsuits can be filed against this party.

A work accident lawsuit can provide a plaintiff with compensation for:

• medical expenses
• lost wages
• physical suffering
• emotional turmoil

Sometimes it’s not always obvious that a third party’s actions contributed to the accident which caused you harm which is why it’s always a good idea to have an attorney review your case. At Banville Law, our legal team offers free initial consultations to New Yorkers in Westchester County who have been hurt at work. Call now to learn more.

Medical Malpractice: Patients Don’t Have To Suffer Because Their Doctor Made A Mistake

Even the most caring and well-educated medical professionals make mistakes that can cost their patient their health or their life. In fact, the law requires many medical professionals to carry medical malpractice insurance because the state realizes that when malpractice occurs, it’s the patient that suffers. Not only do patients suffer physically but they typically sustain serious financial losses because they need ongoing medical care.

Common examples of medical malpractice include misdiagnosis, prescription errors, surgical mistakes, and birth injury.

Your Loved One Can Be Protected From Nursing Home Abuse And Neglect With The Help Of Our Attorneys

Millions of dollars are spent on the care of the elderly each year and while many thrive thanks to excellent care, others waste away due to neglect and sadly, abuse.

Neglect and abuse occur for a variety of reasons but frequently the contributing cause is understaffing. Neglect occurs because there simply aren’t enough caretakers and patients suffer as a result. Abuse occurs because those running understaffed nursing homes fail to perform background checks, hiring those who have been convicted of violent crimes in the past.

If you suspect that your loved one is being neglected or abused, contact our local law office today. Our legal team will investigate the matter and advise you of all legal options.
