Expert Personal Injury Lawyer in Sullivan County
Sullivan County offers a unique blend of natural beauty like the Catskill Mountains, and historical sites like the Bethel Woods Center, the site of the 1969 Woodstock festival. Despite being a wonderful place to live, full of small-town charm, there are still aspects of life in Sullivan County that may lead locals to need the help of a personal injury attorney.
Harsh winters in the Hudson Valley can lead to icy roads throughout Sullivan County, especially in neighborhoods with dark/winding roads, like Monticello and Highland. These dangerous driving conditions can lead to an increased risk of locals being involved in car accidents and even pedestrian accidents. These cases can be complicated depending on whether the roads/sidewalks are on public or private property, and it’s important that you have an attorney that’s well-versed and knowledgeable in order to help.
With a C- crime grade, Sullivan County residents are at a higher risk than the national average of becoming victims of crimes. This means that of every 1,000 residents, 15.59 of them may be impacted by a crime.
Whether you’ve been in a car accident, have been a victim of a physical or sexual assault, or are suffering with injuries due to negligent security, the Law Offices of Eric Richman are the local experts in Sullivan County that are ready to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a personal injury attorney do?
A personal injury attorney will help you through the legal process of seeking compensation after being in an accident. This includes everything from providing you guidance, gathering evidence, filing a lawsuit and litigating on your behalf in court, when necessary.
How do I choose the right personal injury attorney for my case?
Choosing the right lawyer is pivotal in the outcome of your case. You should look for an attorney that specializes in personal injury law, has a good reputation and proven track record representing clients in a similar situation to yours, and is readily available and responsive.
When should I hire a personal injury attorney?
Every situation is different but, some basic guidelines for when you consider hiring a personal injury attorney are that you’ve suffered serious injuries that will require long-term care, if the other party is denying any fault, or if there are multiple parties involved.
How long will my personal injury case take?
Rarely cases can settle within one year, others that require trial can several years. The duration of personal injury cases range dramatically based on the severity of the injuries sustained, how complex the case is and how backlogged the courts are if the case requires a trial. Additionally, insurance companies are in no rush to resolve lawsuits against them.
