If you need a personal injury attorney in Albany NY, Ianniello Chauvin, LLP is ready to help — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We represent injured individuals and families throughout Albany County: car accidents on I-87 and I-90, slip and fall injuries on Wolf Road, workplace injuries, pedestrian accidents, and wrongful death claims. Our attorneys are former prosecutors with over 100 years of combined experience, and we work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win your case.
Albany’s highway corridors — I-87, I-90, and I-787 — see some of the highest collision volumes in upstate New York. We handle car accident claims involving rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, multi-vehicle pileups, and commercial vehicle accidents against negligent drivers, trucking companies, and their insurance carriers.
Property owners in Albany County have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When they fail, a slip and fall attorney in Albany NY can help you hold them accountable — whether the accident happened in a retail store, a parking lot, or on a commercial walkway.
On-the-job accidents and third-party liability claims that go beyond basic workers’ compensation. New York’s Labor Law Sections 200, 240, and 241 provide strong protections for workers injured at construction sites and industrial workplaces.
If someone you love died due to another party’s negligence, our wrongful death attorneys can help your family pursue the compensation you deserve — medical expenses, funeral costs, and the full economic and emotional impact of your loss.
Crosswalk, intersection, and roadway injury claims — including accidents near Albany Medical Center, downtown Albany, and the Washington Avenue Extension corridor.
Cases involving delivery trucks, tractor-trailers, and commercial fleets — often with multiple liable parties including the driver, the trucking company, and the cargo loader.
Albany is a major traffic hub for the entire Capital Region. As a personal injury attorney serving Albany NY, our team knows these roads and how accidents happen on them:
Local context: Albany County personal injury cases are heard in Albany County Supreme Court at 16 Eagle Street, Albany. Our Albany office at 8 Airline Drive is convenient to Wolf Road, the courthouse complex, and Albany International Airport.

You have 3 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York. For wrongful death claims, the limit is 2 years.

New York is a pure comparative negligence state. Even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you can still recover compensation — your award is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. If you were 30% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you recover $70,000.
New York is a no-fault state for auto accidents. Your own insurance covers initial medical bills regardless of fault. However, you can still sue for pain and suffering if your injuries meet the ‘serious injury threshold’ under Insurance Law § 5102(d).
