This case was filed in the State Court- Supreme, 950550-2020, and was removed to federal court by Defendants.

"New York personal injury law is a complex area of law that governs the legal rights of individuals who have been injured due to the negligence of another person. Under New York law, individuals who have been injured due to the negligence of another person may be entitled to recover damages for their medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.

In order to recover damages in a personal injury lawsuit, the injured individual must prove that the other person was negligent. Negligence is defined as a failure to exercise reasonable care that results in harm to another person. In order to prove negligence, the injured individual must show that the other person owed them a duty of care, that the other person breached that duty of care, that the breach of the duty of care was the proximate cause of the injury, and that the injured individual suffered actual damages as a result of the injury.

There are many different types of personal injury cases, including:

Car accidents
Slip and fall accidents
Dog bites
Medical malpractice
Product liability
Premises liability
Wrongful death

If you have been injured due to the negligence of another person, you should speak with an experienced personal injury attorney to discuss your legal options. An attorney can help you understand the law and can help you file a lawsuit to recover the compensation you deserve.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind about New York personal injury law:

You have three years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit.
You may be able to recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.
You may be able to file a lawsuit against multiple parties, such as the person who caused the injury, their insurance company, and any other parties who contributed to the injury.

If you have been injured in New York, you should contact an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. An attorney can help you understand your legal rights and can help you file a lawsuit to recover the compensation you deserve." Google Bard
