Personal Injury (Accident Cases)

Dan Heyman has been helping New Yorkers recover fair, just and substantial compensation for their injuries for more than 30 years. He is experienced in personal injury and negligence law and he will explain the key points of the law that apply to your case.

For example, almost all motor vehicle accidents are impacted by New York’s “No-Fault” Law and Dan will explain how your car accident claim is affected by this law. In almost all motor vehicle accident claims it is very important that a person injured in the accident submit a No-Fault application to the appropriate insurance company within 30 days of the accident so that medical bills may be covered by insurance.

Similarly, personal injury claims against cities, towns and other municipalities, as well as public hospitals (such as hospitals operated by the NYC Health and Hospitals Corporation), public transportation (MTA buses and subways, Metro North, LIRR) and other public agencies and public authorities have their own particular statutes, laws, rules and time limits that affect the rights of an accident victim.

Dan Heyman represents injured New Yorkers in a broad range of personal injury and negligence claims, including:

• Motor vehicle accidents involving cars, buses, trucks, taxis, motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians.
• Public Transportation accidents: Bus accidents, subway accidents, train accidents, Metro North, LIRR, Access-A-Ride.
• Accidents at work: Construction accidents, Labor Law Cases, accidents in which Workers’ Compensation is providing benefits, falls from ladders and scaffolds and other claims involving injuries sustained while in the course of your employment.
