What is "Causation?"

Did you know that if you are unable to prove causation in your case, you will be thrown out of court without receiving a dime in compensation? It's true.

Causation is that critical link between the wrongdoing and your injury.

In New York we must show that carelessness (or negligence) was a substantial factor in causing or contributing to your injury. If it was not, then a jury will never get to compensate you. If it was a substantial factor in causing your injury, then the jury is obligated to award you compensation.

Gerry practices law exclusively in the State of New York. Within New York he practices primarily in the following counties: New York, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, Nassau and Suffolk. Technically, Brooklyn is known as "Kings County," and Manhattan and New York City are known as "New York County." Staten Island is known as "Richmond County." These counties make up the New York metropolitan area.
