Personal Injury Attorney

Albany • Troy • Schenectady

A personal injury is an emotional event – it affects your life, your work, your family and your future.

At Ferrara & Nigro, we understand that you may not be sure what steps to take after an injury.  We will guide you through the process of getting compensation for your medical treatment, lost income and long-term or permanent disability.

I’m Kyran Nigro and I have handled hundreds of personal injury cases in my 13 years of law practice.  We always explore timely, reasonable  settlements as an alternative to long and arduous litigation.  But I have extensive trial experience  -- I have been a lecturer on trial tactics -- and I always prepare every case from the beginning as though it will go all the way to a jury.

We provide personal injury representation to clients in Albany, Saratoga Springs, Troy, Schenectady and surrounding counties of upstate New York, including Rensselaer, Saratoga, Warren and Washington.

I am an experienced personal injury attorney in the following categories:

Car Accident Lawyer: Car collisions, trucking accidents, motorcycle crashes, rollovers, boating accidents

Premises Liability: Slip-and-fall injuries, neglected maintenance, assaults due to inadequate security on private or commercial property

Municipal Liability: Injuries suffered on city, county or school property

Medical and Dental Malpractice: failure to diagnose, surgical mistakes, improper treatment, injury during treatment

Product Liability: unsafe products or manufacturing defects, such as appliances and tools, toys, machines and vehicles

Civil Rights: damages from political, sexual, racial discrimination

Labor Law: Industrial or construction work site injuries

Contact personal injury attorney Kyran Nigro if you or a family member has been seriously injured, disabled, disfigured or suffered harm to career or reputation as a result of negligence, incompetence or malicious behavior of others.  When you set up a free consultation, you will meet with Mr. Nigro himself.

Do's and Don'ts After an Accident or Injury

THE DO’s

DO seek proper medical attention before doing anything else.
DO summon the police, in appropriate cases.
DO cooperate with all law enforcement and emergency personnel who respond to the scene.
DO get the license plate numbers of all other vehicles involved in car accidents and the drivers' names, addresses, telephone numbers, and insurance information.
DO get the name and address of the animal's owner and any license information if you were injured by an animal bite or attack.
DO write down the names, addresses, and phone numbers of all potential witnesses to any accident or injury.
DO contact your health, homeowner's, and/or automobile insurance companies, as appropriate.
DO take photographs of all of the following, as applicable, as soon as possible after the accident:

• The scene of the accident, from all angles.
• The surrounding area.
• The product or animal that caused your injuries.
• Your injuries.
• Any property damage to your vehicle.

DO contact an experienced accident and injury attorney.

THE DON'Ts

DON'T move your vehicle after an automobile accident, unless necessary for safety or required by law.
DON'T subject yourself to further injury by standing or waiting in an area near traffic or other safety hazards.
DON'T leave the scene of an accident until the police tell you it is okay to do so.
DON'T throw away any potential evidence in the case, such as defective products, important documents, or torn or blood-stained clothing.
DON'T engage in discussions of fault with anyone, and make sure you don't apologize for anything -- doing so can be considered evidence that you may have been legally at fault.
DON'T agree to settlement terms without discussing the matter with your attorney.
