Rushed Into Medical Bills After an Injury in Rush? Let’s Slow It Down

Life in Rush usually moves at a quieter pace—until something goes wrong. One unexpected turn on Rush Lima Road, one slippery floor in a store, and suddenly you’re dealing with doctor visits, pain, and bills you didn’t ask for. You didn’t plan for this, but now it’s here—and it’s affecting everything.

Our personal injury attorneys help Rush residents make sense of what happens after serious accidents. At Horn Wright, LLP, we know how quickly medical costs, lost work, and pressure from insurance companies can pile up. That’s where we step in—to slow it all down and start making things right.

Don’t Let the Clock Run Out — What NY Law Means for Rush Victims

New York law gives injury victims the right to pursue compensation, but that right comes with strict deadlines. If you miss them, you could lose your chance to recover anything at all.

Here’s what applies in Rush:

• You have 3 years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim under CPLR § 214
• If a public entity is involved (like a town-maintained road or government property), you may only have 90 days to file a notice of claim, per GML § 50-e
• New York’s comparative fault rule means you can still recover damages even if you were partly at fault

Deadlines matter. We’ll make sure you don’t miss a step.

What to Do First If You’re Injured in Rush

Get seen — Medical records are your proof

Even if your injury doesn’t seem serious at first, you need to see a doctor. Pain can creep in hours or days later, and without documentation, insurers may try to say you weren’t hurt at all.

Medical records serve two purposes: they help you heal, and they prove your case.

Collect everything — Even the smallest details help

Details matter. Keep the names of witnesses, take photos, write down anything you remember. That stop sign you swerved to avoid? That uneven step you tripped on? It could all come into play.

In our Rush cases, those “small things” have helped tip the balance in settlement talks and court decisions.

Local Roads, Local Risks — The Accidents We Handle in Rush

Rush might be smaller than other Monroe County towns, but that doesn’t mean it’s free of serious accidents. We’ve seen them happen on well-traveled roads like Route 15, Rush Henrietta Town Line Road, and even near Rush Creek.

Here are the types of accidents we handle most often in the area:

• Car crashes caused by speeding or distracted drivers on rural roads
• Slip and falls in local businesses or public areas with poor maintenance
• Pedestrian accidents, especially near schools and churches
• Farm equipment collisions, unique to the area’s rural surroundings

We know the layout, we know the risks—and we know how to build strong claims around them.

What Recovery Might Look Like in a Rush Claim

Recovery means more than healing physically. It also means getting compensated for what your injury has cost you—and what it may continue to cost you down the line.

In a Rush personal injury claim, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Emergency room visits, surgeries, and therapy
• Ongoing medical expenses
• Lost income and diminished future earning power
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage (like a totaled car)

Our personal injury attorneys will work to uncover the full scope of your damages and pursue every dollar you deserve.
