At the heart of any personal injury claim in New York is the negligence or wrongful action of another person or entity. If you have suffered a serious injury as a result of carelessness or reckless acts, you are entitled to compensation for the physical harm and financial losses.
The personal injury lawyers of Campbell & Associates help you hold the negligent parties accountable. We have recovered millions of dollars on behalf of clients throughout western New York. We take every case seriously, and we stand ready to help.
But very often, injuries in New York trace back to an underlying action or dangerous condition.

Our firm has the resources to conduct a thorough investigation and bring in experts to establish liability. Our trial lawyers have a proven track record in court.
We have prevailed in a wide range of personal injury and negligence cases, including:
The team at Campbell & Associates has represented people from all walks of life. This includes niche areas of personal injury law such as Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) claims for injured railroad workers and remedies under maritime law (the Jones Act) for injured seamen.
At Campbell & Associates, we want to make the claims process as simple and stress-free as possible for our clients. We understand that you may have many questions and concerns about your personal injury case. Below is a list of frequently asked questions.
If you have a question that does not appear below, you are welcome to contact our office by calling us at 716-992-2222.
When an individual is injured through the fault of another party, he or she can file a personal injury claim to seek compensation for their injuries. This claim allows the injured party to seek all appropriate damages from the at-fault party or, more typically, his or her insurance company.
After you or a loved one become injured as a result of someone’s carelessness or neglect, there are many things that happen at once. While you and your family are healing, you may receive medical bills, doctor’s notices, and insurance letters. Several parties ranging from third-party insurance companies to the other party’s attorney may attempt to contact you in an attempt to give you a lowball offer of “compensation” for your injury.
All of this can be extremely distressing when you are trying to heal and focus on recovering your life and livelihood. For that reason, a personal injury attorney can be indispensable when it comes to securing peace of mind and the maximum compensation you deserve.
When determining negligence, the courts and juries will typically look at whether a normal person would have acted in the same manner given the same circumstances. In the state of New York, the definition of negligence typically includes an individual’s failure to act or failure to uphold their legal duty of care. For example, a driver’s failure to follow the rules of the road in a car accident case would likely lead to a finding of negligence against them.
We accept cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that your fees come out as a percentage of the final settlement. This percentage is determined before the case begins. If we do not win a case for you, there would not be any fee. That’s right—you don’t pay unless we win.
Injured victims are typically able to recover compensation for economic costs (medical expenses, lost wages/earning capacity, etc.) and non-economic costs (pain and suffering, mental anguish, etc.). In some cases, punitive damages may be available depending on whether the Defendant acted willfully or recklessly.
We accept all types of injury claims, including those involving boat accidents, airplane accidents, brain injuries, spine injuries, construction accidents, offshore injuries, motor vehicle accidents and more. We also handle wrongful death claims if you lost a loved one in an accident.
You deserve to be compensated for your lost income, medical bills and ongoing medical care. You are also entitled to monetary damages for any permanent disability or disfigurement as well as the pain and suffering you have endured. Our legal team is here to support your recovery while we are building a case to maximize your compensation. We can step in to resolve insurance claim disputes with the negligent party’s insurance company or with your own insurer.
