WHEN CASES OVERLAP
Which Practice Area Fits Your Case?
Real injuries don’t come in one category. A single accident can open several claims at once, each with its own insurance carrier, its own rules and its own deadline. Missing one can cost you the claim that carried the most value.
That’s why we look at every track at the start of the case, not just the obvious one. A few common examples:
Delivery rider hit by a City vehicle
Can involve an e-bike accident claim, workers’ compensation if the rider was working, and a Notice of Claim against the City, generally due within 90 days.
Worker hurt on a construction site
Comp benefits from the employer can often run alongside a construction accident lawsuit against the owner or general contractor under the Scaffold Law.
Passenger in an Uber or Lyft crash
No-fault, TLC-required coverage and the other driver’s policy may all apply. Our Uber and Lyft accident page explains how they stack.
Fall on a sidewalk or in a building
Who is responsible depends on who owns the property. A slip and fall can be a claim against a private owner, a landlord, NYCHA or the City, and each runs on a different clock.
Not sure where your case fits? You don’t have to figure it out. Call (347) 320-2534 and we’ll sort it out on the first call.
