Troy and Rensselaer County see heavy traffic on the I-787 corridor, Hoosick Street, and Route 7 — combined with dense downtown areas and college populations. Ianniello Chauvin, LLP represents Troy accident victims in claims involving car crashes, premises liability, and wrongful death.
From rear-end collisions on the Northway to multi-vehicle crashes on local roads.
Injuries on commercial property, retail stores, parking lots, and unsafe walkways.
On-the-job accidents and third-party claims beyond workers' compensation.
Compassionate representation for families after a fatal accident or medical incident.
Crosswalk, intersection, and roadway injury claims.
Cases involving delivery trucks, tractor-trailers, and commercial fleets.
Hoosick Street (Route 7) is one of Rensselaer County's busiest commercial corridors and a frequent accident scene. I-787 between Troy and Albany has high collision volumes, especially during rush hour. The dense urban environment near RPI and Russell Sage produces frequent pedestrian and cyclist incidents.
Local context: Samaritan Hospital (2215 Burdett Avenue, Troy) handles most local emergency-room care. Severe cases are often transferred to Albany Med.
Rensselaer County Supreme Court (Congress and Second Streets, Troy) handles Troy-area personal injury cases.
We serve Troy clients primarily from our Albany office on Airline Drive, with virtual consultations available.
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.

Troy’s busiest roads — Hoosick Street, Congress Street, and the I-787 corridor — see consistent accident volumes, especially during rush hour between Troy and Albany.

Dense commercial areas along River Street, downtown Troy, and Latham Circle are frequent scenes of preventable premises injuries.
On-the-job accidents and third-party liability claims that extend beyond basic workers’ compensation. New York Labor Law Sections 200, 240, and 241 provide strong protections for construction and industrial workers injured in Troy and across Rensselaer County.
When a loved one dies because of someone else’s negligence, you deserve more than condolences. Our wrongful death attorneys serving Troy NY pursue the full financial impact of your loss — medical expenses, funeral costs, lost future income, and pain and suffering — so your family is not left carrying the cost of someone else’s mistake.
Troy’s urban density — combined with RPI and Russell Sage student foot traffic — creates real pedestrian hazard zones. We handle crosswalk accidents, intersection injuries, dooring incidents, and cyclist collisions throughout the city.
Cases involving delivery trucks, tractor-trailers, and commercial fleets — often with multiple liable parties including the driver, the trucking company, and the cargo loader.
As a personal injury attorney serving Troy NY, we know Rensselaer County’s roads and where accidents most commonly occur:
Local context: Samaritan Hospital (2215 Burdett Avenue, Troy) handles most local emergency care. Severe trauma cases are transferred to Albany Medical Center — the region’s Level-I trauma center. Rensselaer County personal injury cases are filed in Rensselaer County Supreme Court at 80 Second Street, Troy.
We serve Troy clients primarily from our Albany office at 8 Airline Drive, with virtual consultations available. We also serve clients from our personal injury attorney Albany NY office for clients who prefer to meet in person across the river.
We also handle cases where injuries resulted from a criminal act — including DWI accident injuries and assault. With former prosecutors on our team, we understand the overlap between criminal defense and civil litigation — and we can handle both sides of your case.
You have 3 years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York. Wrongful death claims have a 2-year limit. Claims against City of Troy, Rensselaer County, or NYSDOT require a formal Notice of Claim within 90 days — far shorter than the standard window. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your claim.
New York’s pure comparative negligence rule means you can recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Your award is reduced by your percentage of responsibility. If you were 25% at fault and damages total $80,000, you recover $60,000.
New York is a no-fault state. Your own insurance covers initial medical bills regardless of who caused the accident. However, you can still sue for pain and suffering if your injuries meet the ‘serious injury threshold’ under Insurance Law § 5102(d) — which includes significant limitation of a body function, permanent consequential limitation, or a medically determined non-permanent injury preventing normal daily activities for at least 90 out of the first 180 days.
Government entity alert: If your accident involved a City of Troy vehicle, pothole, defective sidewalk, or city-maintained road, you must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days. This is separate from the standard 3-year statute of limitations and applies even if you are unsure of fault. Call us immediately.
Look for a local firm with Rensselaer County court experience, trial capability, and a contingency fee arrangement so you pay nothing upfront. Ianniello Chauvin, LLP serves Troy clients from our Albany office at 8 Airline Drive and offers virtual consultations. Free consultation at (518) 371-5010.
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee — our fee is a percentage of what we recover for you. If we do not win, you owe nothing. There is no cost to speak with us about your case.
Three years from the date of injury for most claims. Two years for wrongful death. Ninety days to file a Notice of Claim if a government entity (City of Troy, Rensselaer County, NYSDOT) is involved. Missing these deadlines bars your claim permanently.
Yes. New York’s pure comparative negligence rule lets you recover even if you share some fault. Your award is reduced by your percentage of responsibility — but it is not eliminated.
A car accident attorney handles a subset of personal injury claims. Personal injury law in New York covers all accidents caused by another party’s negligence — car crashes, slip and fall, workplace injuries, wrongful death, and more. Ianniello Chauvin, LLP handles the full spectrum.
Do not give a recorded statement. Do not accept any offer without speaking to an attorney first. Insurance companies make early offers specifically because the claim is worth more. Contact us before responding — it is free, and it protects your right to full compensation.
Every day you wait is a day evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and deadlines close in. The consultation is free. The evaluation costs you nothing. You pay nothing unless we win.
