Our Personal Injury Services

Mirza Law helps accident victims in New York City who’ve been harmed in a wide range of circumstances, including the following:

• Car Accidents: Auto accidents are the most common type of accident we see. Unfortunately, they are also among the most devastating. Whether you were injured in a car accident, a bus accident, as a pedestrian, or otherwise, you can feel confident in your decision to turn to a New York City injury lawyer from our firm to fight for you.
• Construction Accidents: Construction workers are frequently hurt on the job here in New York City. In many cases, these accidents aren’t even their fault. If you’ve been injured on a construction site, our injury lawyer is here to help you fight for the full compensation you need, either in a workers’ comp claim or a third-party claim.
• Scaffolding Accidents: Here in New York State, there are various regulations in place to ensure the safety of construction workers. Unfortunately, these regulations, such as Section 240 of New York State Labor Law, also known as the “Scaffolding Law,” are not always abided by, and when they aren’t, people are injured as a result. If you were hurt in a scaffolding accident, you can turn to Mirza Law for assistance.
• Work Injuries: The unfortunate reality is that accidents can occur in just about any workplace. The bottom line is that if you’ve been hurt on the job, Mirza Law is here to assist you.
• Medical Malpractice: If you were harmed by a medical professional, we’re here to fight for full compensation to get your quality of life back.
• Product Liability: Manufacturers and product designers are, at times, responsible when consumers are injured by their products due to defects or a failure to warn. If you’ve been hurt by an unsafe product, we can help.
• Wrongful Death: Losing a loved one due to another party’s wrongful action or inaction is unthinkable. Unfortunately, it’s something that happens to many people in NYC and across the country every single year. If you recently lost a loved one as a result of medical malpractice, an auto accident, or some other means, our firm can fight for the justice you and your family need.

Recovering Compensation for Your Injuries

To recover compensation for your injuries, you and your personal injury lawyer will have to gather and present evidence to satisfy the burden of proof. Simply put, you’ll have to prove that you were injured as a direct result of another party’s wrongful action or inaction. To do so, you should try to gather evidence at the scene of the accident, which can include pictures of the accident, witness statements, and more. You should also ensure you call the police to the scene of the accident. They will a) send emergency medical services to the accident and b) write up a police report detailing how the accident occurred, which we may use to bolster your personal injury claim. Once you’re treated at the hospital and have collected all medical documentation pertaining to your injury, you should make it a point to hire an NYC injury lawyer promptly.

Don’t Wait to File Your Claim–Time is of the Essence

Every state has a statute of limitations in place when it comes to filing personal injury claims. Here in New York State, for most injury claims, the statute of limitations is three years, giving wrongfully injured individuals three years from the date of their accident to take legal action against the liable party. That said, depending on where and how you were injured, you may have far less time from the date of your accident to file what is known as a “Notice of Claim.” In New York State, if you were hurt on property owned by a municipality (such as a public bus or a municipality-owned sidewalk) you will only have 90 days from the date of your accident to file a Notice of Claim. Missing either of these deadlines can permanently bar you from bringing a personal injury claim.
