“It’s no one’s fault.” That’s what they want you to believe. But the truth is that your injuries—whether received on a construction site or the streets of New York—may be due to someone else’s negligence. You have a right to hold that party responsible for your medical bills, lost earnings, future medical care, and even the anguish you’ve suffered. The personal injury lawyers at De Caro & Kaplen, LLP can help you take the first step.
