“You have a great lawyer in John Kelly” – Dr. Phil McGraw

John Q. Kelly has assembled a team of attorneys best qualified to achieve extraordinary results in serious and catastrophic personal injury cases, obtaining eight, seven and six figure settlements and jury verdicts in personal injury cases in White Plains, Westchester and throughout the region.

Our team of experienced attorneys examines critically the facts of each case and prepares for the most effective settlement or verdict. Legal counsel will carefully examine the nature of the incident, what information is necessary to prove damages, who will recover compensation and what experts are necessary for both liability and damages issues. In a serious or catastrophic personal injury case, the plaintiff must prove four elements: (1) duty – the defendant owes a duty to act as a reasonable person; (2) breach – the defendant must have failed to perform his duty; (3) causation – the breach must have caused the plaintiff’s damage; and (4) damages – the plaintiff must be damaged.

How much time do I have to file an injury claim in NY?

In New York, the statute of limitations for plaintiffs to file a lawsuit in most cases is three years from the date of the injury. If you fail to take legal action within that time frame, it’s unlikely that the court system will hear your case. At Ivey Barnum & O’Mara, LLC we will take swift action to build your case – let us handle the legal aspects of your claim so you can focus on taking care of yourself and your family.

Catastrophic and serious injuries change a victim's life forever. Accidents can be caused through the negligent, dangerous or reckless acts of another and may result in loss of limbs, eyesight, hearing, paralysis, disfigurement, head injuries or traumatic brain injuries. Whether such an accident occurred in a work-related accident, drunk driver accident or other incident in which another person is at fault, it is necessary to act quickly and enlist the assistance of experienced attorneys.

When an individual suffers a catastrophic injury, there are legal aspects that must be addressed carefully and fully in order to protect the injured and their families from financial ruin. The medical costs are always extremely high in such cases, and can run into the millions of dollars. This does not include the other damages suffered by the victim, such as pain and suffering, loss of quality of life, loss of income and others. Our team of attorneys will seek maximum compensation for our clients in serious or catastrophic personal injury cases.
