Personal Injury In Greenburgh – Local Danger Zones
Greenburgh is no stranger to serious car, truck and motorcycle accidents. Heavy commuter traffic on Interstate 87 and the Sprain Brook Parkway often contributes to high-speed collisions. Commercial bottlenecks along Route 119 and Knollwood Road can also create extreme hazards. If you are hurt in these areas, one of our Greenburgh car accident attorneys can help you hold the negligent driver accountable.
Beyond traffic accidents, property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises. Severe slip-and-fall injuries can happen at:
- Retail centers
- Restaurants
- Apartment complexes
- Municipal properties
- Swimming pools
Our premises liability lawyers work to build a strong claim if you are injured on dangerous property. We have experience helping people all across Greenburgh, from Dobbs Ferry to Tarrytown.
Medical Malpractice And Greenburgh
Greenburgh residents have access to a range of healthcare providers. This network includes community clinics such as the Westchester Community Health Center on Knollwood Road. It also includes major regional hospital hubs, including:
- White Plains Hospital
- Phelps Hospital in Sleepy Hollow
- Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla
Under CPLR § 214-a, your deadline for filing a medical malpractice claim depends on the type of facility:
- Private hospitals: Up to two-and-a-half years from the date of the incident.
- Public and municipal Institutions: Also two-and-a-half years from the date of the incident, but you must first file a Notice of Claim within 90 days.
Our personal injury and medical malpractice lawyers follow procedures strictly so you do not lose your right to sue.
Where Greenburgh Cases Are Litigated
Local injury lawsuits do not remain in the Greenburgh Town Court at 188 Tarrytown Road. This court handles only traffic tickets, small claims and town code violations.
High-stakes civil cases take place before the Westchester County Supreme Court in White Plains. Medical malpractice lawsuits are managed by the court’s specialized Medical, Dental and Podiatric Malpractice Part (MDPM). This part enforces localized discovery rules that regulate the gathering of medical evidence. Fortunately, our lawyers have decades of experience handling medical malpractice Westchester County cases within this specific jurisdiction.
