Cases We Handle
Hach & Rose, LLP is a full-service personal injury law firm that serves clients in New York City and surrounding areas. For over 25 years, we’ve been representing New Yorkers who were injured in many personal injury cases.
Employees can be injured while on the job. Your employer must carry workers’ compensation insurance if they operate in New York. Additionally, companies that focus solely on their bottom line can infringe on employees' rights. If your employer has violated your rights as an employee or union member, you may be able to obtain compensation for the harm and losses their actions cost you.
When someone is injured in a car or motorcycle accident, the negligent motorist is often liable for compensating the injured party. In some cases, a car or car parts manufacturer may be liable if the accident was caused by defective parts, or a government entity may be liable if their negligence in fixing poor road conditions led to the accident.
Riders of rental bikes and electric scooters can be injured due to defective design or manufacturing, which could mean the manufacturer of the scooter is liable for your injuries. Electric scooter riders can also be injured in auto accidents or due to poor road conditions, in which case negligent motorists or government entities, respectively, could be liable.
Operator errors or negligence by airlines and train companies or manufacturers of airplanes and trains could cause serious injuries to passengers. Any of these parties could be liable for compensating those injured in these accidents.
Manufacturers of dangerous drugs and products could be liable for compensating you if you were injured from using their products. The same is true for a property owner or company which may be responsible for your exposure to certain toxic chemicals and substances.
We also represent clients who have been injured in or as a result of:
Construction accidents - When you go to work each day as a construction worker, you trust that your employer is abiding by New York labor and safety laws to protect you from harm. If you’re injured, you can claim workers’ compensation benefits from your employer. But property owners and general contractors sometimes cut corners, which can lead to serious injuries inflicted upon construction workers and other visitors to the construction site. You may be able to pursue compensation from someone other than your employer.
Medical malpractice - Doctors and medical professionals are trusted to safely provide you with the care you need. When a doctor makes a mistake, intentionally or unintentionally, it can lead to serious patient injury. An injured patient may be entitled to compensation from the responsible party.
Slip and fall accidents – If you’re on someone else’s property and are injured as a result of a condition on their property that was hazardous or that the owner or property manager should have known to fix, you may be entitled to compensation.
Wrongful death - For the families of those killed due to a negligent party’s actions, a lawsuit may bring compensation for their losses and the suffering of the deceased.
Additionally, we represent those who have sustained the following injuries through no fault of their own:
We’re sure you have many questions about pursuing compensation for your injuries. Here are brief answers to a few of the questions you may have.
When do I have to file my lawsuit?
You can file a lawsuit to pursue compensation for your injuries from when you’re injured or discover that you’ve been harmed. However, you have to file your lawsuit within a certain period according to each state’s laws. This is known as the statute of limitations. If you’re pursuing a personal injury lawsuit in New York, you must file suit three years from the date you were injured or became aware of your injury. If you’re filing a medical malpractice lawsuit, you must do so within two years plus six months from the injury date.
Do I have to go to court?
You must file a personal injury claim with your insurance company if you were injured in an auto accident. This could result in you receiving a full and fair settlement for your injuries. If you receive a fair settlement offer, you can avoid filing a lawsuit and going to court. The same applies if you’re injured in a workplace accident or on a property owner’s premises. However, in some cases, there will be no insurance carrier with which to file a claim. In those cases, you would go directly to filing a lawsuit.
Can I afford an attorney?
Hiring a personal injury attorney may seem impossible when you’re already suffering from mounting financial setbacks because of what your injuries have cost you thus far. Attorneys can be expensive. At Hach & Rose, LLP, however, we represent our clients on a contingency fee basis. This means our clients don’t have to worry about paying us fees upfront. We secure fees only from any settlement or verdict award we help you obtain. You don't owe us if we don’t win your case or help you obtain a settlement.
