Dog bite claims are filed when a person is injured by a dog attack, often leading to serious injuries like puncture wounds, scarring, infections, or psychological trauma. New York follows a hybrid dog bite law, combining strict liability with a “one-bite” rule. Under this law, dog owners can be held strictly liable for injuries caused by their dog’s bite, regardless of the dog’s prior behavior. However, if the dog has a history of aggression and the owner knows or should have known about the dog’s dangerous tendencies, the owner may be held liable for damages. If you’ve been bitten, it’s important to consult a personal injury lawyer to assess your case and pursue compensation for medical expenses and other losses. Our knowledgeable lawyers can help navigate the legal process and ensure victims receive fair compensation.
In New York, car accidents can lead to serious injuries and significant financial burdens. Personal injury claims for car accidents typically involve seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. New York follows a no-fault insurance system, meaning your own insurance may cover medical costs, but if injuries are severe or result in significant losses, you can file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver. Our skilled car accident attorneys can help navigate the legal process, ensuring you receive fair compensation for your injuries and damages.
Wrongful death claims in New York are filed when a loved one dies as a result of someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, such as in car accidents, medical malpractice, or defective products. Surviving family members can seek compensation for funeral expenses, lost financial support, and emotional distress. In New York, a wrongful death lawsuit is typically filed by the estate’s representative on behalf of the deceased’s family. A dedicated wrongful death attorney can help ensure that those responsible are held accountable, while securing the financial compensation your family deserves.
Trip or slip accidents often occur due to hazardous conditions on public or private property, such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, or obstructed walkways. These accidents can lead to serious injuries. Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain safe environments, and if they fail to do so, they may be held liable for injuries that occur. A slip and fall attorney can help victims pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering.

Motorcycle accidents in New York often result in serious injuries due to the lack of protection compared to other vehicles. Common causes include reckless driving, speeding, poor road conditions, and driver negligence. Victims of motorcycle accidents may suffer from broken bones, spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and more.
Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents are generally not covered by no-fault insurance in New York. Motorcycles are specifically excluded from the definition of a “motor vehicle” in section 5102(f) of the No-Fault Law. However, New York allows you to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party.

Workplace accidents can result in serious injuries, from falls and machinery accidents to repetitive stress injuries and exposure to hazardous materials. New York workers are generally covered by workers’ compensation, which provides benefits for medical expenses and lost wages.

Hiring a skilled accident lawyer can help navigate both workers’ compensation claims and third-party lawsuits, ensuring workers receive the full benefits and compensation they deserve.
In New York, DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) and DUI (Driving Under the Influence) offenses are serious, with penalties including fines, license suspension, and even jail time.

Aggravated DWI charges apply for higher BAC levels or driving with a child passenger. Refusing a breathalyzer test also leads to penalties. Our attorneys at Vlahadamis Law provide skilled defenses to protect your rights and minimize penalties.
