Personal Injury Attorney in New York
Helping Injury Victims Throughout New York City & New York State
A serious accident can change your life in an instant. Medical bills, lost income, physical pain, and emotional stress can quickly become overwhelming. If your injuries were caused by someone else’s negligence, you shouldn’t have to bear the financial burden alone.
At Davydova Law Group P.C., we represent individuals and families throughout New York City and New York State who have been injured because of another person’s carelessness or reckless conduct. We are committed to protecting your rights, holding negligent parties accountable, and pursuing the maximum compensation available under New York law.
Protecting the Rights of Injury Victims
Personal injury law allows individuals who have been harmed by another party’s negligence to seek financial compensation for their losses.
Whether your injuries resulted from a motor vehicle collision, a dangerous property condition, or another preventable accident, our firm will carefully evaluate your case, explain your legal options, and guide you through every stage of the claims process.
Insurance companies often move quickly after an accident to protect their own interests. Having experienced legal representation from the beginning can help preserve important evidence, protect your rights, and strengthen your claim.

What Compensation May Be Available?
Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Rehabilitation and ongoing medical care
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Other damages available under New York law
Every case is unique, and the value of your claim depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, liability, insurance coverage, and the long-term impact on your life.
Even If You Were Partially at Fault, You May Still Have a Claim
Many people mistakenly believe they cannot recover compensation if they contributed to an accident.
Under New York’s modified comparative negligence law, you may still recover damages even if you were partially responsible for what happened. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you are not automatically barred from bringing a claim.
Determining liability can be complex, which is why it’s important to speak with an experienced attorney before assuming you don’t have a case.
Standing Up to Insurance Companies
Insurance companies have one goal—to minimize the amount they pay on claims.
Adjusters may ask for recorded statements, request unnecessary documentation, or offer quick settlements that don’t fully account for your injuries and future losses.
At Davydova Law Group P.C., we handle communications with insurance companies on your behalf, investigate your accident, gather evidence, consult with medical and accident reconstruction experts when appropriate, and aggressively pursue the compensation you deserve through settlement negotiations or trial when necessary.

FAQ
I've been injured in an accident. What should I do?
The actions you take immediately after an accident can have a significant impact on both your health and your personal injury claim.
Seek Medical Treatment
Your health should always be your first priority. Even if your injuries seem minor, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Prompt treatment creates an important medical record and helps ensure your injuries are properly diagnosed.
Keep copies of all medical records, prescriptions, invoices, and receipts related to your treatment.
Document Everything
If you’re able to do so safely:
- Take photographs of the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage.
- Collect the names and contact information of witnesses.
- Save any documents related to the accident.
- Keep a journal describing your pain, recovery, and how your injuries affect your daily life.
Report the Accident
Depending on the type of accident:
- Report motor vehicle accidents to law enforcement and obtain a copy of the police report.
- Notify the property owner or manager if you were injured on someone else’s property.
Speak With an Attorney Before Speaking to the Insurance Company
Do not give a recorded statement or sign any documents before consulting an attorney. Insurance companies often look for ways to reduce or deny claims.

I'm not sure if I have a personal injury case. What should I do?
Many people are uncertain whether they have a valid claim, especially if fault is disputed or their injuries developed over time.
The best way to find out is to schedule a free consultation. We’ll review the facts of your case, explain your legal options in plain language, and help you determine the best path forward.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in New York?
In most cases, New York law gives you three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.
However, claims against government entities often have much shorter deadlines. In many cases, a Notice of Claim must be filed within 90 days.
Because filing deadlines vary depending on the circumstances of your case, it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
What compensation can I recover?
Depending on the facts of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Future medical treatment
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Our firm carefully evaluates every aspect of your damages to pursue the maximum compensation available under New York law.
I was partially at fault for the accident. Can I still recover compensation?
Yes.
New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning you may still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident.
Your recovery may be reduced based on your percentage of fault, but you are not automatically prevented from pursuing a claim.
The insurance company contacted me. What should I do?
Do not provide a recorded statement, accept a settlement, or sign any documents before speaking with an attorney.
Insurance companies often attempt to settle claims quickly for less than they may be worth.
Our office can communicate with the insurance company on your behalf and work to protect your rights throughout the claims process.
Do I need an attorney for a personal injury case?
While you’re not legally required to hire an attorney, experienced legal representation can help you navigate the claims process, protect your rights, negotiate with insurance companies, and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.
How long will my case take?
Every personal injury case is different.
The timeline depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, your medical treatment, the complexity of the case, and whether a fair settlement can be reached.
While we work efficiently to move your case forward, we also take the time necessary to fully understand your injuries and damages before pursuing a resolution.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases are resolved through negotiated settlements.
However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, Davydova Law Group P.C. is prepared to advocate for you in court and pursue your case through trial when necessary.
