In Rockland County, accidents can happen anywhere—from Route 59 to construction zones in downtown Nyack. We handle a wide range of cases, including:
If a negligent driver caused your injuries, our Rockland County car accident lawyers can help you prove fault and seek damages. We will gather crash reports, witness statements, and insurance details to build your claim. Our team knows how to handle cases involving distracted driving, drunk driving, and reckless behavior.
Healthcare professionals’ mistakes can have lifelong consequences. Our Rockland County medical malpractice attorneys handle cases involving misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and failure to treat severe conditions. We work with medical experts to identify where care fell short.
Falls, equipment malfunctions, and safety violations can devastate workers. If you are injured on a site, our Rockland County construction accident lawyers will fight for compensation beyond workers’ comp. When appropriate, we also pursue claims against third parties, such as contractors or equipment manufacturers.
If you suspect neglect or abuse in a care facility, you are not alone. Our Rockland County nursing home abuse lawyers will help you protect your loved one and demand justice. We investigate signs of physical harm, emotional abuse, bedsores, dehydration, and inadequate supervision.
No matter the type of injury or where it happened, our team is here to fight for accountability and help you move forward with confidence.
New York law allows injured victims to seek compensation through civil court if another party caused their harm. A personal injury case based on the theory that someone else was negligent begins with proving fault.
To obtain compensation, you must show:
Our attorneys use expert analysis, documentation, and witness testimony to prove each element of a negligence case. We also handle the insurance negotiations and legal filings so that you can focus on healing.
It is common for at-fault parties to deny responsibility. That’s why having experienced legal guidance after an accident matters. We push back with solid facts and strategic pressure.
New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule. That means you can still recover damages even if you are partially at fault. However, your percentage of fault will reduce your award proportionally.
For example, if you are awarded $100,000 but found to be 20% at fault, you would receive $80,000. Insurance companies often try to shift the blame to reduce payouts. That’s where our experience matters. We analyze all parties’ actions and develop strategies to protect your recovery.
Personal injury damages go beyond just medical expenses. Our legal team evaluates all aspects of your losses, including:
Evaluating personal injury damages requires understanding your current and future needs. We work with economic and vocational experts to calculate those losses when necessary.
Victims often feel overwhelmed by legal timelines and insurance red tape. Here’s what to expect:
We’ll collect medical records, incident reports, photographs, and any available video footage. Witnesses are interviewed, and expert evaluations may be requested. Documentation needed for injury claims also includes employment records, daily pain logs, and receipts for out-of-pocket expenses.
Once we have established liability, we will send a demand letter to the insurer, and we may, at the same time, file your lawsuit with the appropriate court. This step puts the responsible party on notice. The sooner this happens, the better—we want to preserve evidence and meet legal deadlines.
We’ll attempt to reach a fair settlement. If negotiations stall, we’ll take your case to court and advocate for the compensation you deserve before a judge or jury. Many clients ask about the injury claim settlement process—our team handles everything and keeps you informed every step of the way.
Understanding the timeline for injury case resolution is critical. Some claims are resolved in a few months, but others, especially those involving catastrophic injuries or multiple defendants, take longer.
Proper documentation can make or break a case. When meeting with your attorney, bring the following:
Our attorneys will review your documentation and explain your legal options after a serious injury. If more evidence is needed, we will handle the investigation. We know exactly what insurance adjusters look for and what tactics they use to undervalue claims.
We also help clients track their symptoms and recovery using written journals, which support pain and suffering legal claims in court or during settlement talks.
Our firm stands out because of our results, compassion, and courtroom experience. We treat every case like it is going to trial. That mindset delivers more substantial settlements and sends a clear message to insurers: we mean business.
We also know how personal these cases are. You are not just a file or case number—you are a person who deserves support. We are proud to help injury victims in Rockland County get the representation they need to rebuild their lives.
With Parker Waichman LLP, you are backed by a team that understands the physical, emotional, and financial toll an injury can take. We handle every detail with the care and urgency it deserves. Whether you are recovering from a car crash or coping with the effects of surgical error, we are ready to help.
Our clients appreciate our transparency, responsiveness, and willingness to fight. We do not accept lowball offers, and we do not shy away from tough cases.
Personal injury claims can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re unsure what to expect. Answering these common questions can help you better understand your rights and what to do next.
Not always. Many injury claims are resolved through settlements. However, litigation may become necessary to protect your interests if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation.
At Parker Waichman LLP, we operate on a contingency fee basis. This means you don’t pay any upfront costs—we only get paid if we successfully secure compensation for you.
Depending on your situation, you may be eligible to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other accident-related losses.
Your first step is scheduling a free consultation with our legal team. We’ll review your case, explain your legal options, and guide you through the claims process from beginning to end.
Having clear, reliable answers early on can make a big difference in the progress of your case. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you’re still unsure about your next step.
You do not have to go through this alone. Whether facing hospital bills, missing work, or struggling with lasting injuries, Parker Waichman LLP is here to help. Call 800-968-7529 or visit our contact page to set up your free consultation.

I’m a 9/11 first responder, and I can honestly say that Parker Waichman made me feel like they had my best interest in my VCF case. Ms Candalino & Ms Viti are top notch in my book. I was constantly informed on the status of my case. I would definitely recommend Parker Waichman LLP to family and friends.
