Expert Personal Injury Lawyer in Orange County
Orange county boasts endless treasures that make it a great place to live, from outdoor recreation like the Storm King Art Center and Wawayanda State Park to kid-friendly attractions like Legoland in Goshen. Despite these many positives, there are still quite a few attributes to the area that would lead residents to need to seek the help of a personal injury attorney.
Route 17 and I-87 pass through Orange County, two major highways that are notorious for congestion and a high volume of accidents. Commuting on these highways on a daily basis increases local residents’ risk of being a victim of a truck/car accident exponentially. If you’ve been a victim of a car accident, our law offices know the ins and outs of the process and will fight for what you are rightfully entitled to.
Many Orange County neighborhoods, like Port Jervis and Walden, that are known for their rich history, also tend to have older infrastructure. Older infrastructure can vary widely, but particularly older sidewalks or public stairwells due to the mountainous terrain, can lead to a higher risk of slip and fall accidents for local residents.
No matter what kind of personal injury you’ve been a victim to – The Law Offices of Eric Richman are ready and waiting to help fight on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I hire a personal injury attorney?
Every situation is different but, some basic guidelines for considering hiring a personal injury attorney are: suffering serious injuries that will require long-term care, if the other party is denying any fault, or if there are multiple parties involved.
What does a personal injury attorney do for me?
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 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.
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.
