Yonkers sees significant traffic daily along the Cross County Parkway (I-87), the Saw Mill River Parkway, and major roads like Central Park Avenue, Riverdale Avenue, and Midland Avenue. Common causes include distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, and aggressive driving in congested areas near Getty Square and downtown Yonkers.
Property owners throughout Yonkers have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. Hazards include wet floors in retail stores at Cross County Shopping Center or Ridge Hill, icy sidewalks and parking lots in winter, broken stairs in older apartment buildings, and poor lighting in parking garages. When property owners fail to fix known hazards, they can be held liable for your injuries.
Yonkers is experiencing significant development, particularly in the downtown waterfront area. Construction workers face risks from falls from scaffolding and ladders, being struck by falling objects, equipment failures, trench collapses, and electrocution hazards. You may be entitled to workers’ compensation and additional compensation through a personal injury claim.
Property owners in Yonkers—including apartment buildings, commercial establishments, public spaces, schools, and daycare facilities—have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When they fail in that duty and you’re injured as a result, we can help you recover compensation.
When negligence causes a fatal accident, surviving family members may recover compensation for funeral expenses, lost income and support, loss of companionship, and more.
Economic damages: Medical expenses (emergency room, surgery, medication, physical therapy, future care), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, property damage, and out-of-pocket expenses.
Non-economic damages: 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 harm, punitive damages may also be available.
Statute of limitations: Generally 3 years for personal injury. Exceptions: medical malpractice (2.5 years), government claims (90-day notice of claim), wrongful death (2 years).
Comparative negligence: New York’s pure comparative negligence rule lets you recover damages even if partially at fault—your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
No-fault insurance (car accidents): Your own insurer covers medical costs 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).
