Common Personal Injury Cases We Handle in White Plains

Car Accidents

White Plains sees heavy traffic daily along the Cross Westchester Expressway (I-287), the Bronx River Parkway, and major roads like Main Street, Tarrytown Road, and Central Avenue. Common causes include distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, and rear-end collisions in stop-and-go traffic. We investigate crashes, gather evidence, negotiate with insurers, and take cases to trial when necessary.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Property owners in White Plains have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. Hazards include wet floors in retail stores, icy sidewalks in winter, broken stairs, uneven pavement, and poor lighting in parking garages. When property owners fail to address these dangers, they can be held liable for your injuries.

Construction Accidents

White Plains continues to see significant construction activity. Workers face serious risks including falls from scaffolding and ladders, being struck by falling objects, equipment malfunctions, electrocution, and trench collapses. You may be entitled to workers’ compensation and additional compensation through a third-party personal injury claim.

Truck Accidents

Large commercial trucks on I-287 and the Sprain Brook Parkway pose serious dangers. These cases require immediate investigation to preserve evidence and identify all liable parties—including the truck driver, trucking company, maintenance provider, or cargo loader.

Wrongful Death

When a fatal accident results from someone else’s negligence, surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and more. We handle wrongful death claims with compassion and determination.

Compensation Available

Economic damages include medical expenses (emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, future treatment), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, property damage, and out-of-pocket costs.

Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium, disfigurement and scarring, and permanent disability.

In cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may also be awarded.

New York Laws Affecting Your Case

Statute of limitations: Generally 3 years for personal injury in New York. Exceptions include medical malpractice (2.5 years), claims against government entities (90 days for notice of claim), and wrongful death (2 years).

Comparative negligence: New York’s pure comparative negligence rule allows you to recover damages even if partially at fault—your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.

No-fault insurance: For car accidents, your own insurance covers medical expenses and lost wages regardless of fault. To sue for pain and suffering, you must meet the “serious injury” threshold under New York Insurance Law Section 5102(d).

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will my case take? Some settle within months; complex cases may take a year or more. We work efficiently while ensuring you don’t settle for less than you deserve.

Will I have to go to court? Most cases settle through negotiation. If the insurer refuses a fair offer, we’re prepared to go to trial—the choice is always yours.

What if the other driver has no insurance? Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage or other defendants may provide recovery. We investigate all potential sources.
