About Michael Joseph
Michael H. Joseph is an injury attorney serving New York City, NY, and Westchester County, with offices in Manhattan and White Plains. He is also a Partner at the Law Office of Michael H. Joseph, PLLC. He has devoted his career to representing people who were hurt in accidents at construction sites, in car accidents, bar assaults bus accidents, truck accidents and because of medical malpractice. Mr. Joseph also handles industrial accident cases, police misconduct and wrongful death cases. Many claims that arise in these situations are based on negligence.This legal theory normally applies when a person or company has a duty to use reasonable care but fails to do so and causes harm to someone else as a result. For example, a motorist has a duty to obey traffic laws when he or she is behind the wheel of a vehicle. If a car or truck driver drives fails to stop at a red light and causes an accident, he or she may be held liable in a lawsuit. An injured person who establishes that a defendant was negligent may be able to get financial compensation for his or her pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, property damages, and other forms of both economic and non-economic harm.
As a well-qualified New York personal injury attorney, Michael Joseph has a thorough knowledge of the applicable state and local laws designed to protect accident victims, as well as applicable industry standard. In New York, liability for negligence is assigned by using a pure comparative fault rule. This means that a person who was hurt in an accident that was caused by someone else may be entitled to collect damages for his or her resulting harm, even if the victim was somehow partially to blame for his or her injuries. Still, the process of pursuing a negligence claim is often far from straightforward. No matter how an accident occurred, it is important for an injured person to retain an attorney with a thorough knowledge of the litigation process. It also is vital to take legal action as soon as possible after an accident, before evidence decays or disappears and before the statute of limitations for the claim expires.
