Our Poughkeepsie personal injury attorneys are prepared to handle claims involving:

• Car Accidents. This type of personal injury can occur when a person is in an accident involving a car, truck, or some other vehicle. If a victim becomes injured because another motorist was driving negligently, the victim may be entitled to compensation. In these cases, victims should not speak to insurance representatives before talking to a lawyer. They should also not agree to any settlement before seeking legal advice.
• “Slip and Fall” or “Trip and Fall” Accidents. Though a simple fall may seem innocuous, these accidents can lead to serious injuries, including traumatic brain injuries. An incident may warrant a personal injury claim if a property owner negligently failed to address unsafe property conditions that caused the accident, such as a slick surface. 
• Construction Accidents. Construction workers can suffer catastrophic injuries in work-related accidents. These accidents often involve falls from great heights. General contractors and building owners can be held liable for accidents that occur at worksites.
