If you are the victim of a personal injury for which you are seeking compensation, an experienced personal injury law firm like Pyrros, Serres & Rupwani can review your case and determine how to most effectively secure reasonable compensation.
Cornell Law School defines personal injury as “every variety of injury to a person’s body, emotions, or reputation, as contradistinguished from injury to property rights.” In practice, personal injury typically refers to a situation in which you suffer personal harm, by fault of another person, in a way that has a measurable effect on your life.
The outcome of a personal injury can be severe, and highly damaging for your personal life. You may face substantial hospital and physical therapy bills, significant changes to your health or mobility, a change in your ability to work, and other more personal effects. In such cases, it is only reasonable that the responsible party should shoulder some of the burden for such a drastic change.
Many situations commonly constitute personal injury cases. These include the following and many more:
It is very important, at the outset, to document all necessary facts of the event. For instance, after a car accident, you should write down everything that occurred leading up to the incident. Taking pictures with your phone can also be very useful. This will help your case later on. After receiving all necessary medical attention, work to thoroughly document the circumstances of the case, with as much corroborating evidence and as many photographs as possible.
At Pyrros, Serres & Rupwani, we will work with you to review the evidence collected and other important details about your particular case. Through our experience with personal injury lawsuits, we can thoroughly assess your case, determine compensation that you may be due, and ultimately help you determine the best way to proceed with regard to the legal system.
It is important to note that in New York, there is generally a three-year statute of limitations for a personal injury claim. For this reason, it is imperative to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after an injury occurs to give yourself the best chance of having a successful case.
You may be seeking a workers’ compensation lawyer if you are dealing with an injury or illness sustained at work on Long Island or New York City. Job-related accidents resulting in workers’ compensation personal injury claims are quite common. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were nearly 5,000 fatal workplace injuries in 2020. Of course, there were many more that were non-fatal. Common injuries included the following:
If you are injured on the job, you may be unsure what to do. Navigating the workers’ compensation system is often complicated. It is sometimes unclear whether you are entitled to additional payment or whether your insurance company is dealing with you fairly. Personal injury lawyers at Pyrros, Serres & Rupwani, can ensure you get the attention you need and will work to successfully address your case after an accident in New York City or Long Island, NY.
If you suffer injury or are otherwise unable to work due to a disability, you may be able to collect social security disability insurance (SSDI) or supplemental security income (SSI). The federal government administers these programs, which are designed to ease the burden for those who are unable to work, with the requirement that the disability must prevent an individual from working for at least a year.
Unfortunately, benefits are sometimes denied for reasons that individuals perceive as unjust or simply unclear. At Pyrros, Serres & Rupwani, we can help address social security disability insurance claims and ensure you receive appropriate insurance based on your personal situation.
There are a number of reasons you may need to file a social security disability claim. These might include:

In all cases, it is extremely valuable to get the help of an experienced personal injury attorney. At Pyrros, Serres & Rupwani, we will thoroughly review your case and help you obtain the benefits that you deserve.
