A Long Island Lawyer for Serious Injury Cases
The Raimondo Law Firm is ready to prepare objective evidence and fight for your rights if you are seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident. New York implemented insurance law and tort reforms in 2026, and there are some key changes that will matter for your claim.
- To file a serious injury lawsuit against another driver, you must have equal or less fault in the accident. This means that you can’t claim anything if you were more than 50% responsible for a crash.
- Courts determine fault first, before assessing if an injury passes the serious injury threshold.
- Objective evidence is crucial. An experienced accident attorney in Babylon can prepare the evidence that supports your case.
The Raimondo Law Firm has a proven record of successful settlements and verdicts in personal injury cases. We will work with your treating physician as well as independent medical experts to prepare and present the objective evidence that supports your claim.
If the cause of the accident is disputed by another party, we will engage with trusted accident reconstruction professionals to show what really happened. We work quickly to secure evidence that can often disappear, such as witness statements, car data recordings, dashcam footage, and area CCTV footage.
Our personal injury attorneys in Babylon will work to ensure that you have the strongest possible claim, with an aim of maximizing the compensation recovered so that it reflects the true extent of your injuries.
Injuries That Pass the Serious Injury Threshold
To pass the serious injury threshold, your injury, or the injury of a loved one, must result in:
- Death.
- Dismemberment.
- Significant disfigurement.
- Fracture.
- Loss of fetus.
- Permanent loss of use of a body organ, member, function, or system.
- Permanent consequential limitation of the use of a body organ or member.
- Significant limitation of use of a body function or system.
Even when an injury falls into one of these categories, it doesn’t automatically guarantee that the court will consider it significant. For example, a fracture doesn’t automatically pass the threshold, but a fracture that requires permanent hardware and results in a permanent loss of range of motion likely would.
At The Raimondo Law Firm, it’s our job to not only identify your injuries, but to work with trusted experts to build the evidence that proves why an injury is serious and how it will impact you in the long term.
Don’t let an insurance adjuster tell you what your injuries are worth. Call a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after an accident to review your case for a potential claim.
