Stony Point, New York

The town of Stony Point is in Rockland County. The town is triangle shaped and its name comes from its prominent projection into the Hudson River. As of the 2020 Census, there were 14,813 residents of Stony Point. The town is approximately 31.5 square miles and borders Orange County on the west border. During the American Revolution, George Washington used the King’s Ferry in Stony Point to move between the southern colonies and New England. Also of historical significance is the Stony Point Battlefield, where on July 16, 1744, “Mad” Anthony Wayne led 1,350 Army troops in a surprise attack on the British garrison in Stony Point.

Stony Point was founded officially in 1865 and was the last town created in Rockland County. The Palisades Interstate Parkway goes right through the town, so be careful if you are a little heavy on the gas pedal–the State Police issue many tickets in this region!

Injury Cases We Handle in Stony Point

Accidents in Rockland County can have life-changing consequences. Our firm handles a wide range of personal injury cases for Stony Point residents:

Motor vehicle crashes. Car, truck, bus, and motorcycle accidents are among the most common cases we see. A serious crash can lead to traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and other long-term harm. We investigate liability, secure records, and work to hold negligent drivers accountable.

Premises liability incidents. Property owners have a duty to maintain safe conditions. Slip-and-fall accidents, unsafe walkways, or poorly lit staircases can all result in significant injuries. We pursue claims against negligent property owners to help clients recover.

Dog bite injuries. A dog attack can cause scarring, nerve damage, and lasting fear. In New York, owners may be held responsible if their negligence contributed to the incident. Our firm helps victims pursue compensation for medical care and emotional harm.

Wrongful death claims. If you have lost a family member due to negligence or a violent attack, you may have a wrongful death claim. This allows you to seek compensation and also justice for your loss. These claims are complex because only specific family members can pursue a claim and this legal matter usually arises at a time when families feel least able to deal with the legal system. Our team works to take care of the details for you and to pursue the compensation you need for your future.

Catastrophic injury claims. Burn injuries, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and other catastrophic injuries can result in a lifetime of disability, reduced earning capacity, and increased medical costs. If your injuries were caused by someone else, you may be able to seek compensation for these expenses, including the expected future costs you may face.

Construction accidents and workplace injuries. On average, an American worker is injured on the job every seven seconds. In Stony Point, major employers such as healthcare facilities, schools, and utilities, have an obligation to keep workers safe. When they fail to do so and Stony Point residents are injured, workers may be able to seek benefits through workers’ compensation insurance. In some cases, they may also have a third-party claim that allows them to seek recovery beyond workers’ comp benefits.

In addition to the above claims, we may be able to help with any claims that result from someone’s assault or intentional action or that arise because of negligence. If you’re not sure whether you have a claim, contact our law firm for a free consultation where we can review the specifics of your situation.

Questions Our Clients Often Ask

When should I call an attorney?

Most personal injury cases in New York must be filed within three years of the accident. Cases involving government entities often require much faster notice. Acting quickly helps protect your rights and ensures evidence in your case is preserved.

At The Law Office of Mark A. Siesel, we reply to you quickly, often on the same day, so you can get answers fast. We recommend that you reach out as soon as you have been injured. We are pleased to speak with you, even if you are currently in the hospital or are still recovering.

How do traumatic brain injuries show up days or weeks after an accident?

Unlike broken bones or visible wounds, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are not always obvious right away. Some people feel fine immediately after a crash but develop symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, memory loss, or difficulty concentrating days later.

TBI injuries are not the only ones to have delayed onset of symptoms. Internal injuries, whiplash, and soft tissue injuries can all take time to develop symptoms. Also keep in mind that if you have been in a serious incident, such as a workplace injury or traffic accident, adrenaline may hide some symptoms.

This delayed onset is why it’s important to seek medical care even if you initially think you’re unhurt. Documenting these symptoms can make a significant difference in a personal injury case. Even more importantly, early diagnosis and treatment can improve your odds of healing. In some cases, early medical intervention can even save your life, so never brush off an injury.
