Frequently Asked Questions — Manhattan

First, call 911 and seek medical attention. Document the scene with photos, exchange information with all parties, and file a police report. Do not admit fault or sign anything from insurance companies. Then contact Janusas Law for a free consultation — Manhattan's complex traffic patterns and no-fault insurance rules make experienced legal guidance essential.

In New York, the general statute of limitations for personal injury is 3 years from the date of the accident. Medical malpractice claims must be filed within 2.5 years, and claims against the City of New York require a Notice of Claim within just 90 days. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

Yes. Slip and fall cases in Manhattan often involve commercial property owners, building management companies, and the City of New York. Proving negligence requires evidence that the property owner knew about the hazard and failed to fix it. An experienced attorney can investigate the conditions, gather surveillance footage, and build a strong case for compensation.

Janusas Law handles all types of personal injury cases in Manhattan, including car accidents, construction accidents, slip and fall injuries, medical malpractice, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, workplace injuries, wrongful death, and more.

Extremely common. Manhattan has more active construction sites than any other borough. New York Labor Law Sections 240 and 241(6) provide strong protections for injured construction workers, imposing strict liability on property owners and general contractors for gravity-related accidents and safety violations. Janusas Law has deep experience applying these powerful statutes.
