Webster, NY Personal Injury Lawyers

One Injury Can Change Everything

You’re on Ridge Road grabbing groceries. Or maybe crossing Holt Road on your lunch break. Then in a flash, someone else’s careless moment becomes your crisis. Now you’re hurt, missing work, and watching the bills pile up while your phone keeps buzzing with insurance calls.

At Horn Wright, LLP, our personal injury attorneys help Webster residents get answers—and get paid. We know what it feels like when life spirals after an accident. You didn’t ask for this, but you do deserve someone in your corner who knows how to fight back.

What to Do After an Injury in Webster

Stay calm and document everything

In the chaos of an accident, it’s easy to forget things. That’s why it helps to slow down and take stock. If you're able, get names, photos, and any nearby camera footage. If it happened in a store, ask a manager to file an incident report. On the road? Get a police report.

The more you document now, the easier things get later.

Don’t trust insurance to look out for you

They’ll sound polite. Maybe even helpful. But make no mistake—insurance companies want to protect their bottom line, not your recovery. We've seen it happen in Webster cases too many times: a fast offer that barely covers the ER visit, or a recorded statement used against the victim later.

Let us handle them. You focus on healing.

Accidents in Webster We’ve Handled Before

Webster’s mix of suburban roads and busy commercial areas means accidents happen more often than people expect. Some of the most common cases we take on in this area include:

• Car crashes on Ridge Road, Five Mile Line Road, and near Webster Plaza
• Slip and falls in grocery stores and parking lots during winter
• Pedestrian and cyclist injuries along the Irondequoit Bay trail system
• Dog bites in residential neighborhoods
• Worksite injuries on construction projects near Lake Road

Each of these cases involves real people whose lives were interrupted. We help them take the next step.

What Compensation Really Covers in Webster Cases

A personal injury claim isn’t just about paying a hospital bill. It’s about giving you a path forward when your life has been thrown off course. Depending on your injury and situation, you might be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical care and treatment, now and in the future
• Lost wages or job opportunities
• Pain and suffering
• Mental health effects like anxiety or PTSD
• Loss of mobility or daily function
• Property damage

Our personal injury attorneys take the time to understand everything this injury has cost you—and then we fight for that full amount.

How Long Does a Webster Injury Case Take?

There’s no one-size-fits-all timeline, but we always aim to move cases efficiently—without rushing you into a lowball offer. A few factors that affect how long your case might take:

• The severity of your injuries — More serious cases often take longer to resolve
• Disagreements over fault — If liability is unclear, insurers may stall
• Willingness to negotiate — Some companies offer fair settlements quickly; others dig in
• Whether we go to trial — Most cases settle, but we prepare for court just in case

No matter the timeline, we’ll keep you updated and supported throughout.

NY Legal Challenges Webster Victims Need to Know About

New York laws are designed to protect injury victims—but only if you act within the right timeframes. Miss a deadline, and you may not be able to file at all.

Here’s what to keep in mind:

• You have 3 years to file most personal injury lawsuits under CPLR § 214
• If a government entity was involved—like a town-owned property or vehicle—you have just 90 days to file a notice of claim under GML § 50-e
• New York’s comparative fault law means you can still recover damages even if you were partly at fault

We’ve seen cases derailed because people didn’t know these rules. We won’t let that happen to you.
