A Personal Injury Lawyer Who Knows Ossining and Westchester County
Ossining sits right on Route 9, one of the main arteries running through Westchester County. Thousands of cars travel through the village every day; commuters heading to work, delivery trucks making stops, and local traffic navigating residential streets.
According to Westchester County Public Works, the Hawkes Avenue segment of Route 9 alone sees an average of more than 2,800 vehicles daily. That kind of volume on a road that runs through the heart of a small village means accidents are bound to happen.
Route 9 is not a highway. It runs past homes, schools, and businesses. Drivers are dealing with traffic lights, crosswalks, turning vehicles, and pedestrians all at once. When you add rush-hour congestion and people trying to make quick turns or lane changes, the risk goes up significantly. Rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, and pedestrian accidents are common in Ossining, and the injuries can be serious.
One type of accident seen too often in Ossining and across Westchester is pedestrians getting hit by turning vehicles. Trucks and cars making turns at intersections are supposed to yield to people in the crosswalk, even if they have a green light. But drivers do not always pay attention, and pedestrians end up being struck while crossing legally. These accidents can cause life-changing injuries and require an attorney who understands traffic laws and how to prove fault.
If you are hurt in an accident in Ossining, your personal injury case will be filed in Westchester County Supreme Court. Familiarity with this local court, as far as how long cases take, what the judges expect, and how local insurance companies handle claims, can make a real difference in how your case is handled. Eric Richman has been practicing in Westchester County for more than two decades and understands the process and what it takes to get results.
If you were injured in Ossining or anywhere else in Westchester County, Eric Richman can help you understand what your case is worth and what steps to take next.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
What will it cost me to hire Eric Richman?
Nothing unless you win. Eric Richman works on a contingency fee basis. That means no upfront payment, no hourly billing, and no out-of-pocket costs. His fee comes from your settlement or court award, so you only pay if he recovers compensation on your behalf.
If I were partly to blame for my accident, can I still pursue a claim?
Yes. New York uses comparative negligence, which allows you to recover damages even if you share some responsibility for what happened. Your compensation will be reduced based on your percentage of fault, but you are not barred from filing a claim.
How do you determine what my case is worth?
There is no standard formula. The value depends on your specific circumstances: your medical expenses, how much work you missed, the pain you experienced, and how the injury impacts your life going forward. Eric Richman will evaluate these factors during your free consultation and give you a realistic idea of what to expect.
How long does a personal injury case usually take?
It depends on the nature of your injuries and how the insurance company responds. Cases can take years, especially if the insurer refuses to offer fair compensation and the case needs to go to trial. Eric Richman will keep you updated at every stage and work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while still fighting for full value.
