Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
- Car Accidents. Car accidents in Brooklyn can range from minor fender benders to catastrophic crashes. Whether it was caused by reckless driving, distracted driving, or a DUI, we’ll ensure that the at-fault driver is held accountable.
- Slip and Fall Accidents. Slip and fall accidents are common in Brooklyn’s busy streets, stores, and other public places. Property owners must keep their premises safe, and when they fail to do so, we’ll help you seek compensation for your injuries.
- Bicycle & Pedestrian Accidents. Brooklyn’s bustling streets pose a risk to cyclists and pedestrians. If you were hit by a negligent driver while walking or biking, we’ll help you hold them accountable and seek damages for your injuries.
- Construction Accidents. Injuries on construction sites can be severe or even fatal. If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction accident, our attorney can evaluate whether you have the right to pursue a civil claim outside of the workers’ compensation system.
- Wrongful Death. Losing a loved one in a preventable accident is devastating. We represent families in wrongful death cases, ensuring that they receive compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, and the emotional toll of losing a family member.
Understanding Your Rights in a Brooklyn Personal Injury Case
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, New York law gives you the right to hold the at-fault party accountable for your injuries. The legal concept of negligence means that the responsible party failed to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm to you. To prove negligence, we must demonstrate:
- Duty of Care: The defendant had a legal duty to act responsibly (e.g., drivers must obey traffic laws, property owners must maintain safe premises).
- Breach of Duty: The defendant failed to meet this duty (e.g., a driver texting while driving, a property owner failing to fix a known hazard).
- Causation: The breach of duty directly caused your injury.
- Damages: You suffered losses, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, as a result of the injury.
Proving liability is a challenging task that requires the insight of experienced and well-resourced legal counsel. At the Law Office of Seni Popat, P.C., we build strong cases by conducting thorough investigations, collecting critical evidence, and working with expert witnesses. We leave nothing to chance in ensuring that the at-fault party is held accountable for their negligence, and we fight to secure the maximum compensation you deserve.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Brooklyn?
New York’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of the accident. For medical malpractice cases, it is typically two and a half years, and for wrongful death claims, you have two years from the date of death.

Can I Still File a Claim in Brooklyn If I Was Partially at Fault?
Yes. New York follows a comparative negligence rule, which means that even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you can still recover compensation. However, your damages may be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to you.

Personal injury claims can arise from any injury caused by someone else’s negligence, including broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, burns, and more.
