Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Thousands of people are injured in New York City every year. When those injuries are caused by negligence, justice demands to be served. The Bronx injury attorneys at Koenigsberg & Associates Law Offices have decades of experience representing a wide range of personal injury cases, including:
- Car accidents - These are the most common cause of injury and death in NYC. Negligent drivers can cause immense harm to other drivers and pedestrians. Some of the most common causes of car accidents are distracted driving, drunk driving, and reckless driving.
- Truck accidents - Accidents involving big-rigs, trash trucks, and other commercial vehicles almost always involve catastrophic injuries and death. Truck drivers can commit negligence like any other motorist, but trucking companies and truck manufacturers can also be responsible for these collisions.
- Bus accidents - City and private buses are supposed to be safe. However, on the busy streets of New York City, bus drivers can easily have accidents with other vehicles and even pedestrians. Additionally, buses can have defective parts that cause accidents.
- Construction accidents - Construction workers are at high risk of serious injury and death even when proper safety measures are being taken. However, property owners, motorists, and other third-parties can cause even more devasting harm when they are negligent.
- Bicycle accidents - Bicyclists are especially vulnerable to catastrophic injuries in the event of an accident. When motorists fail to watch carefully for bicyclists, they need to be held accountable for the harm they cause.

What Types of Damages Can I Recover with a Personal Injury Claim?
Damage is another word for compensation that is awarded to a claimant. Generally, there are two main types of damages available in a personal injury case, economic and non-economic.
Economic damages compensate for financial losses such as:
- The inability to work
- Medical expenses
- Damage to personal property
Non-economic damages, as the name suggests, compensates for more abstract sufferings such as pain and suffering. Given their abstract nature, non-economic damages are sometimes called “general damages.”
Additionally, punitive damages are available in some cases however they are not often awarded. Unlike economic and non-economic damages the purpose of punitive damages is to punish the negligent party and are generally, only awarded when the negligent party knew their actions would most likely cause harm and did so anyway.
