Personal Injury Representation Across New York
An accident can create medical problems, missed work, insurance disputes, and uncertainty about what to do next. At the Law Office of Vincent C. Loiodice, injured clients work directly with Vincent from the first conversation through the resolution of their case.
Every injury claim is different. The evidence needed after a car accident is not the same as the evidence needed after a fall, construction accident, work injury, or act of negligence on someone else’s property. The first step is identifying what happened, who may be responsible, and what evidence must be protected.
Car Accidents
Car-accident claims may involve rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, turning vehicles, sideswipes, rideshare vehicles, buses, trucks, pedestrians, bicyclists, and uninsured or underinsured drivers. Important evidence may include photographs, video, witness information, police records, vehicle damage, traffic signals, medical records, and insurance information.
Slip and Fall
Slip-and-fall cases often involve wet floors, spills, snow, ice, leaking pipes, recently cleaned surfaces, tracked-in water, loose mats, oil, or other slippery conditions. These cases may depend on photographs, surveillance video, cleaning records, inspection practices, incident reports, prior complaints, and evidence showing how long the condition existed.
Construction Accidents
Construction workers can be injured by falls, falling objects, unsafe ladders or scaffolds, defective equipment, dangerous work areas, electrical hazards, and failures to provide proper protection. Construction cases may involve contractors, owners, subcontractors, employers, equipment companies, and other parties responsible for the worksite.
Work Injuries and Workers’ Compensation
Someone injured at work may have a workers’ compensation claim and, depending on how the accident occurred, a separate personal injury claim against another company or responsible party. It is important to investigate both possibilities rather than assuming workers’ compensation is the only available remedy.
Trip and Fall
Trip-and-fall claims may involve broken or uneven sidewalks, defective stairs, holes, raised pavement, loose flooring, debris, poor lighting, missing handrails, or dangerous obstructions. Determining who owned, controlled, inspected, repaired, or maintained the area can be a central part of the investigation.
Nursing Home Negligence
Nursing home cases may involve falls, pressure injuries, inadequate supervision, failure to follow a care plan, medication problems, malnutrition, dehydration, abuse, or neglect. Medical records, care plans, staffing records, assessments, photographs, witness accounts, and facility policies may all become important.
School and Negligent Supervision Claims
Schools and organizations responsible for children may be liable when inadequate supervision, dangerous property conditions, bullying, assaults, transportation failures, or other negligence causes an injury. These claims may require prompt requests for video, incident reports, witness information, disciplinary records, and other evidence.
Other Serious Injury Claims
Our firm also evaluates claims involving pedestrians, bicyclists, buses, municipal vehicles, elevators, negligent security, assaults, falling objects, ceiling collapses, defective property, and other preventable injuries. When you are uncertain which category applies, Vincent can review what happened and explain your potential options.

THE RIGHT EVIDENCE MATTERS
Different Cases Require Different Investigations
There is no single checklist that proves every personal injury case. The investigation should be built around the particular accident.
Motor-Vehicle Accidents
The investigation may involve vehicle damage, roadway design, traffic lights, lane markings, nearby cameras, witness accounts, electronic records, police documents, and insurance coverage.
Falls on Property
The investigation may involve photographs, surveillance footage, incident reports, inspection and cleaning records, maintenance records, work orders, prior complaints, weather information, and proof of who controlled the location.
Construction and Workplace Accidents
The investigation may involve contracts, daily reports, safety equipment, photographs, witness accounts, site-control information, employer records, and the responsibilities of owners, contractors, and subcontractors.
Government and Public-Property Claims
Claims involving a city, public authority, school, municipal vehicle, sidewalk, or other government-controlled property may involve special procedures and shorter deadlines. Early investigation can be especially important.
Nursing Home and Care Facility Claims
The investigation may involve medical records, care plans, fall-risk assessments, staffing records, incident reports, photographs, surveillance footage, witness accounts, and evidence showing whether required care and supervision were actually provided.
School and Negligent Supervision Claims
The investigation may involve video, incident reports, witness statements, disciplinary records, prior complaints, supervision policies, staff assignments, transportation records, and evidence showing what school personnel knew before the injury occurred.
