Auto Accident Litigation
Car accidents are common in New York. If you were involved in a collision, our legal team can help. Our injury lawyers can help negotiate favorable pre-trial settlements and seek damages for accident survivors and their loved ones.
Commercial rigs, moving company box trucks, and tractor-trailers can pose numerous hazards to motorists and pedestrians. Our New York truck accident attorneys are familiar with trucking industry laws and can hold negligent truck drivers accountable.
Whether you were injured by an MTA bus in NYC or a Bee-Line bus in Westchester County, accident victims can count on our attorneys. The Law Office of Michael H. Joseph can also help with crashes involving coaches and school buses.
The Clock Is Ticking
City buses are operated by public authorities — in this case, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the New York City Transit Authority and the MTA Bus Company. You must file a notice of claim within 90 days of the bus accident and file a lawsuit withn one year and 90 days following the accident. Failure to meet this deadline means that you may be barred from filing a lawsuit for your injuries.
Pedestrian Accidents
If you were hit by a car, you have rights that you probably didn’t know about. The negligent driver’s insurance company has to pay your medical bills, lost wages, and compensate you for pain and suffering. There is a 30-day deadline to apply for these benefits.
Our New York City pedestrian accident lawyers can help you meet filing deadlines that are in place and help you weigh your legal options against the negligent driver.
Bike Accidents
New York law is protective of bicycle riders. It’s incumbent on drivers to exercise reasonable care to avoid hitting bicyclists. If you were hit by a car while riding a bicycle, our attorneys will help you get the compensation you deserve.
Our attorneys can also assist with accidents that occur in designated bike lanes, whether caused by moving vehicles in the bike lane or parked vehicles obstructing designated bike lanes.
Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents
If you were injured because you slipped and fell on snow or ice, don’t assume that it was your fault. New York City Administrative Code and the City of White Plains code requires residential and commercial landowners to clear sidewalks of snow and ice within a short period after the snow or rain ceases. They are also responsible for repairing and maintaining broken sidewalks in front of their property. Sadly, property owners often ignore these regulations, contributing to injuries.
You may have a premises liability lawsuit if you slipped, tripped, or fell because of the negligence of a property owner.
Statute of Limitations
In the state of New York, a personal injury claim must be filed within three years of the date of an accident. A personal injury case cannot be pursued once the statute of limitations has passed, so it’s important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.

“Michael Joseph is not only a knowledgable attorney, but a tactful one as well. His extensive legal knowledge allows him the opportunity to inform all potential clients of the road ahead as well as any potential hazards he may encounter along the way. In my time with him he was kind and easy to speak to, but was very shrewd in dealing with the defendants. There are not many attorneys who you can say are kind and have a good morale compass, but Michael Joseph definitely falls into that category. I hope to never need him again but if I ever do, it will be comforting to know that he will be in my corner to guide me through the formalities and tension of extended legal processes.
