Albany is one of the busiest traffic corridors in the Capital Region — and one of the most common places for accidents requiring legal representation. Ianniello Chauvin, LLP handles personal injury cases throughout Albany County, including the Wolf Road corridor, I-87, I-90, and I-787.
From rear-end collisions on the Northway to multi-vehicle crashes on local roads.

Local context: Albany Medical Center is the region's Level-I trauma center and treats the most severe injury cases from across Northeast New York.

Our Albany office at 8 Airline Drive is convenient to the Wolf Road area, the courthouse complex, and Albany International Airport.
Statute of limitations: 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. Cases against government entities (city, county, state) have much shorter notice deadlines — sometimes as short as 90 days.
Comparative negligence: New York is a pure comparative negligence state. Even if you were partially at fault, you can still recover damages — but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
No-fault insurance: New York is a no-fault state for auto accidents. Your own insurance pays initial medical bills regardless of fault, but you can still sue for pain and suffering if injuries meet the "serious injury threshold."
Free consultations 24/7. No fee unless we win your case.
