Personal Injury Lawyers Serving Long Island

Oresky & Associates is a personal injury law firm that is known for representing accident victims throughout New York City and Long Island. If you’ve been harmed due to the negligence of someone or a company, we can help you get the compensation you need.

What Types of Injuries Do Accidents Cause?

Accidents cause all types of injuries, and some are more concerning than others. An accident can result in:

• Head and traumatic brain injuries
• Neck injuries and whiplash
• Eye injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Chest injuries
• Internal injuries
• Broken bones
• Burns
• Amputations
• Other catastrophic injuries

The costs of these injuries can be staggering. Medical bills alone can total tens of thousands, not to mention non-economic losses like a reduced quality of life.

What Should I Do After an Accident?

If you're involved in an accident in Bronx, NY:

• Call 911 if an Emergency: Call first responders to ensure that those who need it will get medical help and that an accident report will be filed
• Report the Accident: Report the accident to someone in charge of the area where you got hurt, whether that is your employer, the store manager, the property owner, the pool manager, or your landlord — and make sure the report is in writing
• Get Medical Treatment: No matter how minor or severe you think your injuries are, seek medical attention as soon as possible after your accident; this creates an essential record should you decide to file a personal injury claim and ensures that you get the medical care you need for any injuries that might not be visible
• Collect Evidence and Information: If possible, get contact info from anyone else at the scene and snap a few photos of the accident scene, your wounds, and any property damage
• Contact a Reputable Law Firm: A lawyer will evaluate your case and let you know whether you could seek compensation

Following these steps will help keep you and those around you safe, and it will provide a record should you decide to seek compensation from an at-fault party.

Why Should I Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?

A lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve while you focus on getting better. Consider these ways that a personal injury lawyer can help:

Construction Accidents

There are times when companies simply prioritize the profits that can be made over the safety of their workers. In Long Island, most construction sites involve using heavy equipment such as hoists, cranes, and scaffolds.

Construction is dangerous and failing to follow the proper safety procedures may lead to accidents.

At Oresky & Associates, we have construction accident lawyers that provide knowledgeable and compassionate legal representation to guide accident victims in obtaining the compensation entitled to them.

Car Accidents

Our car accident attorneys can handle cases involving a wide range of scenarios, including:

• Ambulette accidents

By putting your trust in our car accident lawyers, you should know that you are in good hands. Oresky & Associates have successfully represented countless automobile accident victims throughout the years.

Personal Injury

If you have been injured due to the negligence or wrongful act of someone, your life can change in an instant. The injuries you sustain could make it difficult or impossible to work and enjoy your life the way you’ve been accustomed.

You might need to get extensive medical treatment, which can turn out to be quite costly.

Oresky & Associates have fought for personal injury accident victims for more than 30 years. Our Long Island injury lawyers can help you pursue just and full compensation for your losses when you need it.

Medical Malpractice

All medical procedures come with their own inherent risks. Once doctors fail to follow professional standards, the likelihood of these risks is much higher.

For those of you who have been injured during medical treatment in a hospital or doctor’s office, or have a doctor that has failed to diagnose an illness, you could have a legal claim for medical malpractice.

What Is a Personal Injury Case?

A personal injury case is a lawsuit filed by someone (the plaintiff) who has suffered physical injuries that they claim were caused by another person (the defendant). Generally, a personal injury case begins with the injured person filing a claim with an insurance provider.

Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?

You may have a personal injury case if another person or business has injured you due to negligence or other unreasonable conduct. Consider speaking to a personal injury lawyer when:

• Another driver injures you in a car crash
• You suffer injuries and losses from a dangerous product
• A third party is responsible for your workplace accident
• A medical provider failed to provide you with the proper standard of care and caused injury
• You experience harm due to a property owner's failure to maintain their premises

Many personal injury cases start out as claims with insurance companies and end with settlements. Generally, an injury attorney will only file a lawsuit if the insurer refuses to pay a fair settlement.

Who Could Be Liable for My Injuries After an Accident?

Anyone who contributed to the accident that caused your injuries could potentially be liable for your losses. 

Many accidents involved shared liability. Examples of who could be held liable include:

• Car and truck drivers
• Retail stores
• Equipment manufacturers
• Consumer product manufacturers
• Maintenance companies
• Trucking companies
• Security companies
• Engineers
• Construction companies
• Pedestrians or bicyclists
• Government entities

Complex cases involve a lot of finger-pointing. No one wants to take responsibility. But with the evidence and strong legal representation on your side, you can hold the negligent party accountable.

Will My Case Go to Trial?

Your case probably won’t go to trial, though it's always a possibility. Most cases settle, but the outcome will depend on things like:

• How quickly you need or want money
• How many parties are involved
• Whether there are disputes about complex legal or factual issues
• Whether the defendant understands the extent of their liability

The more complex the case is, the more likely it will proceed down the path to trial.

When you work with the Bronx personal injury attorneys at Oresky & Associates, PLLC, we're always prepared to go to trial, and we'll always fight for the money you deserve.

How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

The value of a personal injury case depends on factors like:

• The extent of your injuries
• Whether you're expected to fully recover
• How your injuries will affect your ability to earn a living
• Whether you were responsible (even partially) for the accident
• Whether you'll need ongoing medical care

Accidents that cause severe injuries, permanent disabilities, or death tend to result in higher awards. The legal team at Oresky & Associates, PLLC will do everything we can to obtain the full settlement you deserve.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Usually, personal injury lawyers charge nothing up front. Most accident and injury attorneys don't charge by the hour. Instead, they work on a contingency fee basis. This means they get paid a percentage of the proceeds that they recover on your behalf — typically 33% to 40%.

The total fee amount will vary for each case. Make sure to talk to your lawyer to understand the specifics of your fee agreement.
