Vehicle Accidents: Car, Truck, and Motorcycle

Fairport is a hub of activity, and heavy traffic near the Fairport Lift Bridge or along Route 31 (Pittsford-Victor Road) often leads to serious collisions. Whether you were involved in a rear-end accident on Turk Hill Road or a high-speed crash on I-490, our attorneys understand the nuances of New York’s No-Fault insurance laws. We handle:

• Car Accidents: From distracted driving to speed-related collisions.
• Truck Accidents: Holding commercial carriers accountable for safety violations.
• Motorcycle Crashes: Fighting the “biker bias” to ensure riders get fair treatment.

Slip and Fall & Premises Liability

Property owners in Fairport, whether they own a shop in Schoen Place or a residential complex, have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. If you have been injured due to an icy sidewalk, a liquid spill in a grocery store, or poor lighting, you may have a premises liability claim. We hold negligent owners accountable for the hazards they fail to fix.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents

With the beautiful Erie Canal Heritage Trail and the walkable streets of the village, Fairport is a favorite for cyclists and pedestrians. Unfortunately, negligent drivers often fail to yield the right of way. If you were struck while crossing Main Street or riding your bike near Kennelly Park, we will fight to ensure your medical expenses and lost wages are fully covered.

Construction Accidents and Workplace Injuries

Construction is a constant in the growing Perinton area. These sites are inherently dangerous, and when safety protocols are ignored, the results are catastrophic. Cellino Law is well-versed in New York Labor Laws (Section 240/241), which provide special protections for workers injured in falls from heights or due to falling objects. We help Fairport workers navigate both Workers’ Comp and third-party personal injury claims.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

A dog bite can cause lasting physical scarring and psychological trauma, especially for children. New York law regarding dog bites is complex, involving “strict liability” for medical bills and proof of “vicious propensities” for further damages. Our team investigates these incidents thoroughly to help families recover the compensation needed for plastic surgery, therapy, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Fairport Personal Injury Claims

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer at Cellino Law? At Cellino Law, we believe everyone in Fairport deserves elite legal representation regardless of their bank account. We work on a contingency fee basis, often called our “No Fee Unless We Win” guarantee. You pay $0 upfront. We only collect a fee if we successfully secure a settlement or jury verdict for you. Our fee is a percentage of the final recovery, so our interests are perfectly aligned with yours, we want to get you the maximum amount possible.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in New York? In most cases, the Statute of Limitations for a personal injury claim in New York is three years from the date of the accident.However, if you are filing a wrongful death claim, the limit is generally two years.If your accident involved a government vehicle or property (like a Fairport village truck or a Monroe County road), you may have as little as 90 days to file a “Notice of Claim.” Because these deadlines are strict, we recommend contacting us immediately to protect your rights.

What is the “Serious Injury” threshold in New York car accidents? Because New York is a “No-Fault” insurance state, your own insurance typically pays for medical bills and lost wages up to $50,000.To sue the other driver for “pain and suffering,” you must meet the Serious Injury Threshold.This includes significant disfigurement, bone fractures, permanent loss of use of a body organ or member, or an injury that prevents you from performing your daily activities for 90 out of the first 180 days following the crash. Our attorneys specialize in proving these “serious” impacts to get you full compensation beyond basic no-fault benefits.

What if I was partially at fault for my accident on Route 31? New York follows a Pure Comparative Negligence rule. This means you can still recover damages even if you were 99% at fault. However, your total compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if your total damages are $100,000 but you are found to be 25% at fault, you would receive $75,000. Cellino Law works tirelessly to investigate the scene and gather evidence to minimize your liability and maximize your payout.

Should I talk to the insurance adjuster after my accident in Fairport? We strongly advise against speaking with the other party’s insurance company before consulting an attorney. Adjusters are trained to get you to admit fault or downplay your injuries. As of 2026, New York minimum auto liability limits have increased to $35,000/$70,000, meaning there is more at stake for insurance companies to protect. Let Cellino Law handle all communication so you don’t accidentally jeopardize your claim.

Can I file a claim for a slip and fall on an icy sidewalk in the Village? Yes. Property owners in the Village of Fairport are required to maintain safe walking surfaces. If you slipped on a sidewalk near Schoen Place or in a local parking lot due to neglected snow, ice, or uneven pavement, the owner may be held liable under premises liability law. We investigate whether the owner had “notice” of the hazard and failed to act.

What to Do Immediately After an Accident in Fairport, NY

If you’ve been involved in a collision or slip and fall, taking these steps can significantly strengthen your case:

1. Call 911: Ensure the Fairport Police or Monroe County Sheriffs create an official report.
2. Seek Medical Care: Even if you feel “fine,” visit Highland Hospital or a local urgent care. Adrenaline often masks serious symptoms like whiplash or internal bruising.
3. Document the Scene: Take photos of the vehicles, the hazard that caused your fall, and any visible injuries.
4. Identify Witnesses: Collect names and phone numbers of anyone who saw what happened near the Lift Bridge or intersection.
5. Call Cellino Law: Contact our 52 N. Main St. office at (888) 888-8888 before you sign any insurance documents.
