Comparative Negligence And New York Personal Injury Cases
The success and failure of New York personal injury cases come down to attributing blame. Someone’s actions or negligence led to a cause-and-effect situation where someone got hurt. It could be a distracted driver hitting a pedestrian, a negligent company not following safety standards, or all kinds of other cases.
