How Often Are People Injured in Peekskill?
Like many other cities across the U.S., Peekskill has seen a significant surge in crime rates in recent years, largely due to police understaffing. Crime in Peekskill rose by 90 percent from 2021 to 2022. Though the rate slightly declined in 2023 with the addition of new patrol officers, it remains higher than in years past.
Because of this, injuries are unfortunately common in Peekskill. In March 2024, a Peekskill driver in a stolen car hit and seriously injured two children and three adults on a city sidewalk. In May, another driver was charged with attempted murder after beating a Westchester County social services employee in an unprovoked attack in a South Street apartment.

What Compensation Can Victims Recover in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
If you’ve been injured in Peekskill, our experienced personal injury attorneys will build a strong claim on your behalf, ensuring along the way that you understand your rights and working to get you the full and fair compensation you deserve.
Damages from a personal injury lawsuit can include compensation for both economic and non-economic losses. Economic damages compensate victims for quantifiable monetary losses, such as medical bills and lost wages. Non-economic damages compensate victims for subjective losses like pain, suffering, and emotional distress. The amount and type of damages you can recover depends on the particular circumstances of your case.
Determining liability and calculating compensation in a personal injury case can be tricky. Because New York comparative negligence laws can lower your compensation based on your degree of fault, defendants often try to blame accident victims for their injuries. Our attorneys will identify all liable parties in your case and push back hard against wrongful accusations of fault.

How Long Do You Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Peekskill?
The New York personal injury statute of limitations generally gives three years after an injury to file a lawsuit. However, there are important exceptions, such as in cases involving medical malpractice or government agencies, in which cases the applicable deadlines are far shorter than three years. In all cases, failure to file before the correct deadline will forever bar you from pursuing your claim in court for compensation. Our attorneys can determine the deadlines governing your case and ensure that you don’t miss the deadlines and lose your right to sue.
