Are you suffering after a car accident in Rome? Been hurt in a construction or slip-and-fall incident? Contact Central New York personal injury lawyers at the Hobaica Law Office for help obtaining financial compensation.
Injuries are all too easy to come by. Worse, some do not even show up right away. You might have gotten rear-ended at Madison and Thomas and gone home more worried about the damage to your car, only to wake up stiff with a growing pain in your neck. A fall outside a big store during the icy Christmas shopping season could leave you limping on a knee that fails you just when you get back to work.
These are just some examples of the kinds of injuries folks in Rome and throughout Central New York have to deal with. Injuries like these can seem at first to be just a minor inconvenience but quickly become deeply debilitating. Either way, they are often quite expensive, and too few families in Rome have money to burn on hospital bills, medical exams, long-term care and regular treatment.
Fortunately, for some injury victims in Rome, a personal injury claim can allow you to claim financial compensation for these injuries. Located just down the expressway in Utica, the Hobaica Law Office has a trio of personal injury lawyers who help injury victims like you obtain compensation for medical bills and other damages so that you can get back on your feet.
No one is safe from injury, but unfortunately, not all injuries are eligible for personal injury compensation. Due to U.S. and New York laws and the rules of the insurance companies that pay out most of the claims, financial compensation might not be available.
For example, a Rome Memorial Hospital doctor who shows up drunk to your surgery might be liable to pay damages for the harm caused to you, while a surgeon at the same hospital who did everything she could after an unexpected complication might not, even if the outcome was the same.
If you are not sure whether you might be eligible for financial compensation after an injury, an experienced personal injury lawyer like those at the Hobaica Law Office can help you figure that out. Contact the team there to discuss your situation and injury for free to find out. Here are just some of the types of personal injury claims they have helped Central New York injury victims obtain compensation for in their decades of advocacy.
Injuries come in many different forms and levels of severity, and we take pride in representing a wide range of injury types and severities. As Central New York personal injury attorneys, the Hobaica Law Office helps Rome injury victims from:
By far the most common type of case we take, motor vehicle accident injuries are all too frequent throughout Oneida County, and Rome is no exception. It is important to remember, however, that the vehicle accident, whether involving a truck, car, motorcycle, or even bicycle, must have been caused by someone else’s negligence.
Spinal injuries are particularly common and dangerous, even in accidents that seem at first to be less severe. Many such injuries can appear hours, days, weeks or even months later, which can make claims very difficult. Be sure to speak with a doctor and get a medical examination as soon as possible after your accident.
OSHA regulations exist for a reason. When Rome employers and contractors refuse to follow them, they are being negligent and putting clients, passers-by, workers and employees at risk of injuries. These can range from crushing injuries, like broken bones, to burns from electrical equipment or truly horrific incidents involving heavy machinery.
Sometimes, even in Rome, walking down the street or into a store or building can put you in danger. When store owners are negligent and fail to remove hazards, or a company fails to remove the ice from their sidewalk, that can cause you to trip or slip and injure yourself.
Elderly residents are the most at risk, but anyone harmed by such a fall may be eligible for personal injury compensation under premises liability law, which our attorneys can help you obtain.
Not all injuries and harm are caused by accidents; some happen in the places where you are supposed to feel safest, like a doctor’s office or hospital surgery. You may not be aware of it, but doctors, nurses and other medical staff owe you a duty when you are under their care.
If they fail to fulfill that standard to a reasonable or minimal extent, such as by ignoring your pain, making critical errors during surgery, or neglecting you, you can file a medical malpractice claim with the help of an attorney if you suffered any injuries or harm as a result.
