Keetick L. Sanchez, Esq., a graduate of Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law School and admitted to practice in New York and Texas, explains how liability may extend to property owners, employers, product manufacturers, contractors, and other negligent parties.
Finally, the podcast breaks down the compensation available under New York law, including economic damages for medical expenses, hospitalization, skin graft surgeries, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and home modifications, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, PTSD, and loss of enjoyment of life. It also reviews the three-year statute of limitations, the 90-day notice requirement for claims against government entities, and how pure comparative negligence affects recovery.
