Types of Long Island Personal Injury Claims We Handle

Trantolo & Trantolo’s Long Island personal injury lawyers have experience handling a wide variety of personal injury claims, including:

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Car accidents are a common sight on Long Island’s busy roadways. Whether your accident involved a motorcycle, passenger car, or commercial truck, Trantolo & Trantolo’s car accident lawyers can help. Our dedicated personal injury team can help you seek compensation for pain and suffering, medical bills, lost income, and more. Let our team help you pursue the negligent party liable for your motor vehicle accident.

Bicycle Accidents

Bicyclists have minimal protection from the force of a collision. As a result, bicycle accident victims are prone to serious and even catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injury, neck injury, and spinal damage. Trantolo & Trantolo’s bicycle accident attorneys can help you pursue justice and compensation following a bicycle crash.

Construction Accidents

Construction accidents are common on Long Island and across the city. Scaffolding accidents, falls from a height, electrocution, and heavy machinery mishaps all lead to high injury and fatality rates for construction workers.

Trantolo & Trantolo’s construction accident attorneys can help you pursue workers’ compensation benefits for on-the-job construction injuries. We can also help you file a personal injury lawsuit for construction site injuries involving a third party.

Dog Bites

Dog bites can be life-altering. Not only can they cause severe lacerations, scarring, and disfigurement, but dog bites can also sever tendons, crush bones, and damage critical blood vessels. Even with prompt treatment, dog bites can result in life-threatening infections.

Per New York dog laws, owners must maintain control of their animals at all times. If they fail in this duty of care, they can be held responsible for the injuries caused by the dog. Speak with our dog bite attorneys in Long Island to learn more.

Product Liability

If you sustained injuries or fell ill due to a defective product, you could file a lawsuit against the manufacturer, distributor, or advertiser. Our mass torts attorneys in Long Island have extensive experience taking on giant companies and insurance carriers on behalf of our clients. Whether you were injured due to a defective car component or a dangerous drug, Trantolo & Trantolo is here to help.

Nursing Home Negligence

Nursing home employees must adhere to strict standards for patient care. When they are negligent in their duty of care and a patient suffers injuries or illness as a result, the nursing home can be held accountable. Our Long Island nursing home negligence attorneys can help you pursue justice and fair compensation for nursing home negligence or patient abuse.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Property owners and managers have a responsibility to maintain safe premises. This means ensuring that walkways, stairways, ramps, and other areas are free of hazards. If you tripped, slipped, or fell due to a hazard in a retail space, commercial property, or residential property, you may have grounds to file a premises liability claim. A slip and fall accident lawyer from Trantolo & Trantolo can help.

Workers’ Compensation

When you suffer a work injury, whether you were on the job site or off-site performing work-related duties, you could file a workers’ compensation claim to recover medical costs and lost income. Our workers’ compensation attorneys can help you gather evidence and file an initial claim. If your benefits are reduced or denied, we can also assist you with the appeal process to help you secure the benefits you deserve for your workplace injury.

After an accident or injury due to another’s negligence, you may not know where to turn. If you have been hurt and need legal representation, call our personal injury attorneys in Long Island. We can help you seek the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

Losses You Could Pursue Following a Personal Injury on Long Island

Every personal injury claim is unique, so the damages you can seek vary based on your case’s details. Damages we could seek on your behalf include:

Medical Costs

Medical bills can pile up while you work to recover from your injuries. In addition to emergency medical care, doctor’s visits, and physical therapy, your medical expenses may extend to prosthetics, medical devices, and medication to treat your injuries. Catastrophic injuries that result in long-term or permanent disability may require in-home nursing care and domestic assistance, which you could also include in your claim.

Loss of Income

Your medical treatments may take time away from your regular workday. Hospitalization, surgical procedures, and physical therapy can all keep you from returning to your job as soon as you would like. Some severe injuries could prevent you from returning to your work altogether. Whether your injuries cost you work hours, career advancement, or your private business, you can recover those financial losses from the at-fault party.

Property Damage

You could also recover financial compensation for the cost of property repair or replacement. For example, if you were in a car accident, you could seek compensation for car repairs. You should not have to foot the bill for someone else’s negligence. Let our attorneys help you seek fair compensation for your losses.

Pain and Suffering

In addition to the monetary losses you suffered due to the responsible party’s negligence, you could suffer from non-monetary losses. These intangible non-economic damages include the subjective effects of an injury, such as:

  • Emotional distress
  • Mental anguish
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment
  • Diminished quality of life

Non-economic compensatory damages cover a wide range of experiences and are highly subjective. Trantolo & Trantolo’s Long Island personal injury attorneys can review your case and determine the potential compensation you could pursue.

Gather Evidence to Support Your Personal Injury Claim

We know that the quality of your evidence can directly affect your chances of a fair settlement. Our dedicated personal injury lawyers in Long Island leave no stone unturned when it comes to compiling evidence to prove your case. Evidence we could incorporate into your claim includes:

  • Medical records
  • Police reports
  • Witness statements
  • Expert testimony
  • Medical bills
  • Pay stubs and financial statements
  • Photos and videos of the accident scene

Determine the Liable Party

We thoroughly review all the evidence to establish the cause of your injuries and determine who is at fault. Based on this information, we can decide where to file an insurance claim or who to name in your personal injury lawsuit. We will then submit a demand letter or file a legal complaint to begin the claims process.

Respond to Calls and Emails

While you focus on recovering your health, our team can field calls from insurance adjusters and legal counsel for the responsible party. We can respond to messages, submit documentation, and begin negotiations to establish the monetary compensation you are owed.

Negotiate With Insurance Companies

Many personal injury claims involve an insurance company. For example, car accident claims often go through the at-fault driver’s insurance. A slip-and-fall accident claim may be referred to the property owner’s liability insurance. Part of our job as your legal representative is to find these companies, file a claim, and negotiate a fair settlement with them.

File a Personal Injury Lawsuit

While many personal injury claims settle out of court, a lawsuit can show the insurance company you are serious about seeking reasonable compensation. We can file a lawsuit within the New York statute of limitations and keep your case on track. If negotiations are not successful, our trial lawyers can represent your interests in the courtroom. Our team does not hesitate to pursue injury cases all the way to trial if that’s what it takes.
