The Best Personal Injury Lawyer in Dutchess County
Dutchess County is known for its historical charm and breathtaking views, nestled between the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains. It offers so much to locals – farm fresh food, museums and galleries, the opportunity for outdoor activities, and so much more. Many of these, while very desirable, can lead to accidents that may require Dutchess County residents to seek a personal injury lawyer with strong local experience.
Beacon, Poughkeepsie and Rhinebeck all border the Hudson River, which are full of local spots for boating, fishing, and other water activities. In these neighborhoods, especially, with the easy access to water and congestion on the Hudson River during peak season, there’s an increased amount of boating accidents and injuries related to the water like slip-and-falls. Having a lawyer that has experience representing clients that have sustained water-related injuries will ensure that the finer details of your case (often the most important details) are not missed.
On the other side of the Hudson lies the mountains, which in turn means that Dutchess County has many hilly/rural roads. Millbrook and Pawling, in particular, have many winding roads with varying elevations which can lead to an increased risk of car accidents. There are too many blind spots to count. These roads are dangerous all year round, but especially during the winter months due to snow and freezing temperatures that the area often experiences.
Eric Richman has represented countless Dutchess County residents over the last 20 years, with a wide variety of injuries. No matter the injury, our team is ready to help you today.
