Introduction
At the heart of most conversations in the bustling city of New York, you’re bound to find one topic lurking: personal injury law. Whether it’s discussing a high-profile case in the news or sifting through personal experiences shared by friends, understanding personal injury law can feel like unraveling a complex mystery. The team at Morgan Legal Group, with years of experience in New York State personal injury law, is here to lighten the load. We’ve assembled the top five most surprising aspects of personal injury law that many are unaware of. Let’s take a deep dive in!
1. Personal Injury Law Covers More Than Just Accidents
While most people associate personal injury law with accidents, it covers a broader range of incidents. From slip and fall accidents, dog bites, to defamatory statements that harm a person’s reputation —personal injury law encompasses all these scenarios.
2. Personal Injury And Bodily Injury Are Not The Same
Seemingly interchangeable, these two terms actually refer to different things. Bodily injury is typically linked with criminal cases and pertains to physical damage to a person. On the other hand, personal injury is a legal term focusing on lawsuits filed by individuals against others who may have caused them harm, whether physical or emotional.
3. Time Is Of The Essence
Contrary to popular belief, there is a specific time frame or ‘statute of limitations’ within which a personal injury lawsuit must be filed. In New York State, this is typically three years from the date of the accident.
4. Compensation Can Be More Than For Physical Injuries
In personal injury cases, compensation is not limited to physical injuries. Damages can also cover emotional distress, lost wages, and even future loss of earning capacity.
5. Having A Lawyer Makes A Difference
While it’s possible to handle a personal injury claim on your own, having a seasoned lawyer like those at Morgan Legal Group can greatly increase your chances of success. Lawyers have in-depth knowledge of the complexities of New York State law, ensuring you get the compensation you deserve.
Conclusion
Personal injury law is not as straightforward as it may seem at first glance. With its unique intricacies and nuances, having a grasp of this law is essential for anyone residing in busy New York. Do you feel a little less daunted by the complexities of the personal injury law now? We at the Morgan Legal Group, strive to keep you informed, empowered, and ready for anything that life in the Big Apple throws your way.

Throughout the process Russel Morgan provided unwavering support in every way. We are incredibly grateful for their kindness and professionalism. Their technical expertise is unmatched. I wholeheartedly recommend their services.
Mr. Morgan patiently listened to my issues and did a quick examination of my out-of-state documentation during the informative and beneficial in-person discussion. He assured me that they would be accepted in New York without any problems, but he also promised a more thorough check.
Mr. Morgan kept outstanding communication throughout the probate procedure and the evaluation of my out-of-state documents. He also advised me on how to update my estate planning documents in light of my new circumstances. I greatly valued his practice.
with my entire estate plan because I genuinely believe that he is someone I can truly rely on
Russel spent a lot of time with my wife and me and ensured we were getting all the details when it came to creating our wills and family law issues including our prenuptial agreement. He followed up on time and was responsive to our emails. His advice made the process easy and understandable, and this is his merit. We have peace of mind that our documents are well composed – a very reassuring and refreshing experience, mainly because we expected a stressful and complicated process.
Thank you, Russel, for your time and attention.
What really sets Russel apart is his commitment to prioritize his clients best interests, which is a rare quality in today’s market.
I’m excited to continue working with Mr. Morgan in the years
If you’re finding yourself delaying this decision I can assure you that Russel Morgan can simplify the process of creating a personalized estate plan that suits your needs.. The best part is it won’t cost you a fortune. Russel offers this service at a one time flat fee, which includes any necessary revisions, throughout your lifetime at no extra charge.
Several months later my adult nephew tragically passed away from natural causes, leaving behind his children. During this challenging time, Mr. Morgan made himself available to offer guidance and support as I assisted my brother through the process. I highly recommend Morgan Legal Group for their expertise in trust, probate, and estate planning.
Throughout my legal matter, their commitment to providing excellent service was evident. They worked tirelessly to ensure that my needs were met and that my case received the attention it deserved. Their expertise in living trust law is unmatched, and I am grateful for the valuable advice they provided me.
I am incredibly thankful for their hard work and dedication to my case. Their exceptional service has left me feeling confident in recommending them to anyone seeking expert legal advice. I have no doubt that they will provide the same level of professionalism and attention to detail to all their clients.
Extremely grateful to have found Russel Morgan and his legal group, back in 2019 my mother had fallen ill with cancer and after her passing, me as the youngest sibling, was stuck dealing with real estate she had left for me and my siblings but there was no will and three children, this was by default a headache or so I thought until I had the chance of meeting Mr. Morgan. We sat down and in a matter of one hour he had managed to put all of my questions to rest and give me the peace of mind I needed as well as the guidance to proceed in the best legal way, we had been fighting my case for months before there could actually be an answer to my questions, I visited multiple lawyers to try and get their opinion on the matter but everyone would tell me the same thing “It’s a complicated matter specially since there’s no will”. Upon moving to NYC and pretty much making peace with the idea of letting the real estate just go to waste and allow the bank to take over I met this lady at my job whom I mentioned the situation to and she told me about the Morgan Legal Group and how they helped her when she had to handle legal matters of any sort. She mentioned that he was the best lawyer in Manhattan and he would surely provide options that would make me realize I just hadn’t had the chance of meeting with a lawyer who genuinely cares for what he is doing, who is passionate in his job and strives to deliver justice and the right information to his clients. Fast forward I made a call and scheduled my initial consultation with Mr. Morgan and from there my mind was able to rest easy and all of my questions were answered, he was very diligent and exploited all the options and resources to help me win this over and keep the house where I grew up and created so many memories in, other lawyers advised that I should just let it go “get into some new real estate, it’s cheaper” but Mr. Morgan didn’t even consider that for a second, he got all the right information, he was communicative, diligent and thorough with his work, within a short period of time I was receiving notice from the bank that the house would be remaining under the power of my family and we even managed to renegotiate a better payment plan with lower rates and more benefits than the ones my mother had established for her home prior to her death. The Morgan Legal group is filled with people who KNOW what they are doing, who LOVE what they are doing, who COMMUNICATE the way they work on things and who STRIVE to deliver the best result by any means necessary to those who arrive in a state of despair, he is now my appointed lawyer for absolutely everything that needs to be handled legally and I will keep recommending him every opportunity I may have because he changed my life through his genuine actions, he empathized with my situation and took it upon himself like it was his own.
