Cases We Handle in Yonkers

At Fellows Hymowitz Rice, we take on a wide range of personal injury claims.

Where Do Injury Accidents in Yonkers, NY, Happen?

Yonkers offers a quieter lifestyle for residents who love its convenient location but wish to escape the overwhelming hustle of New York. Still, in the city’s vibrant downtown and commercial hubs — as well as its tree-lined residential areas — accidents are inevitable.

Every year, thousands of residents and visitors sustain injuries due to negligence by drivers, property owners, employers, and other parties. From car crashes on Central Avenue to slip and fall accidents in local retail stores, Fellows Hymowitz Rice handles even the most complex Yonkers personal injury claims.

What Should You Do After a Personal Injury Accident in Yonkers?

Taking the right steps after an accident can strengthen your personal injury claim. Here’s what to do:

  • Seek medical attention: Your health is the top priority; document all medical treatment to support your case.
  • Report the incident: Notify the property owner, employer, or police, depending on the type of accident.
  • Document the scene: Take photos, gather witness information, and write down what happened while the details are fresh.
  • Preserve evidence: Keep medical records, receipts, and any correspondence related to the accident.
  • Consult an experienced personal injury lawyer: Contact Fellows Hymowitz Rice for a free consultation to discuss your case.

If you were incapacitated and couldn’t gather information at the scene, don’t worry; simply bring any documents you do have to your free consultation, and we’ll handle the rest.

Injuries Commonly Seen in Yonkers Personal Injury Cases

Even minor accidents can lead to life-changing injuries. We take on claims involving these types of injuries and more:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs): Severe TBIs affect memory, cognition, and personality, requiring extensive medical care.
  • Spinal cord injuries: Paralysis and chronic pain from spinal injuries may result in lifestyle changes and lifelong medical costs.
  • Broken bones: Fractures from falls or crashes can limit mobility and require lengthy rehabilitation.
  • Burn injuries: Severe burns cause physical pain, scarring, and psychological trauma.
  • Soft tissue injuries: Sprains, ligament tears, and whiplash may require ongoing treatment.

In the most tragic cases, families lose their loved ones due to negligence. We help these families recover compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional suffering through wrongful death lawsuits.

How We Help Yonkers Injury Victims Pursue Compensation

Our attorneys at Fellows Hymowitz Rice are committed to making the legal process as stress-free as possible. We handle every aspect of your claim, including:

Recoverable Damages in a Yonkers Personal Injury Claim

In personal injury cases, victims may recover a variety of damages:

  • Medical expenses: Coverage for past, current, and future medical treatment.
  • Lost wages: Compensation for missed work and reduced earning capacity.
  • Pain and suffering: Monetary compensation for physical pain and emotional distress.
  • Property damage: Reimbursement for damaged personal property.

Don’t settle for less than you deserve. Our lawyers review your claim carefully, calculating all of your previous and potential future losses — and fighting for every penny.

Time Limits for Filing Personal Injury Claims in Yonkers, NY

New York law imposes strict deadlines for personal injury claims. Generally, a victim has three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Wrongful death claims must be filed within two years, and medical malpractice claimants have 24 months after treatment ends or after they become aware of the injury.

By acting quickly, you can better preserve evidence and protect your rights.
