My Clash With New York Personal Injury Lawyers

It will probably come as little surprise to you that New York personal injury lawyers are one of the great fears among all business owners across the five boroughs. I can account for this first hand as I own a New York deli restaurant and have done for over 15 years. In this time I have seen many of my close personal friends lose their entire business due to the actions of a New York personal injury attorney. New York City personal injury law, could be described a being rather generous to the victim in question.

In my opinion there seems to be no expectation that a person is, to at least some degree responsible for themselves and has a duty to watch where they are going. For example, if you were to slip or have some kind of fall on another persons property, regardless if it was your own fault and not actually because of any kind of neglect fault by the owner, you could probably claim money from them. This is now such a big problem that most business owner who are faced with a lawsuit in this type of case, would much rather choose to settle out of court because they are so scared of having to face a New York personal injury lawyer and go to trial, Even if they feel that they are completely innocent.

Personally I would like to think that I am not scared so easily. I have no intention of being terrorized in my own city. New York personal injury lawyers strike fear into the heart of honest businessmen and I won't become a victim to some freeloader trying to sue me unfairly. If I have made a mistake or neglected my duties then of course I am prepared to pay fair compensation to the person involved, but otherwise I won't take it lying down. This may seem old-fashioned but New York has been my home for the past 20 years, and I intend it to be so for the rest of my days. I have, in the past, been approached by a New York personal injury lawyer. But it wasn't until recently that I was actually taken to court by one.

In one sense, New York personal injury lawyers are in a world of their own. They seem to have become so used to people fearing them that they generally tend to assume that you just will roll over as soon as they approach you. When I was given the call I was actually left a message that asked me to return the call when I was ready to reach a settlement figure. Obviously they assumed I would bow down and cough up. Not so!

These New York personal injury lawyers were contacting me regarding an incident that occurred a few months ago, I remember it quite well. A woman had slipped and fell as she was walking out of my restaurant. She was obviously in a hurry wasn't paying attention to what she was doing or where she was going. As a result, she collided with another customer. I ran over and helped her to her feet. It was quite obvious she was perfectly ok except she was a little shaken and very embarrassed. But still, the New York personal injury lawyer who was dealing with her claim informed me that she was suffering from severe physical and emotional injuries as a result of her accident! The court has not yet heard the case but I will be interested to hear her full story. I cannot see how she intends to blame me for her fall but I am ready with all the information I have, along with CCTV footage of the whole incident. This may seem odd but I am actually looking forward to it.
