by | Aug 24, 2025 | Tri-State Personal Injury

Personal injuries can happen in the blink of an eye—whether from a car accident, workplace incident, slip and fall, or other negligence. If you’ve been inIf you’ve been injured in the Tri-State area, you need experienced legal guidance to navigate the complex process of filing a personal injury claim. Woelfel & Woelfel LLP helps clients understand their rights and fight for the compensation they deserve under state personal injury laws.

The region follows a comparative fault system, which means your recovery can be reduced if you are partially at fault for the accident. For example, if you are deemed 25% responsible for a car crash, your damages award would be reduced by that percentage. Understanding how this law affects your case is critical, and our attorneys have the experience to evaluate your claim accurately.

Timing is also important. In most personal injury cases across the Tri-State area, strict statutes of limitations apply — often as short as one year from the date of injury. Failing to act quickly can jeopardize your right to compensation. Our team ensures all claims are filed on time and handled with precision.

We represent clients in a variety of personal injury cases, including:

  • Vehicle and trucking accidents
  • Boating accidents
  • Construction and workplace injuries
  • Premises liability incidents
  • Wrongful death claims

At Woelfel & Woelfel LLP, we conduct thorough investigations, work with medical and accident experts, and negotiate aggressively with insurance companies. When necessary, we are fully prepared to take cases to court to protect our clients’ rights and maximize their compensation.

If you or a loved one has been injured in the Tri-State area, don’t navigate the legal system alone. Contact Woelfel & Woelfel LLP today for a free consultation and get the experienced guidance you need to protect your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.
