New York law governs whether an injured person is compensated for the injury, the amount of compensation that may be recovered, as well as which parties will be liable for the injury.
Tort law, also known as injury law, comes from federal and New York codes, as well as judicial opinions from prior cases. The amount of compensation is determined by statute, or by a judge or jury. Typical recoveries may include compensatory damages (e.g., lost wages, medical bills, etc.) and in some situations, punitive damages to further punish the party that is determined to be at fault. In some cases, a plaintiff may recover certain non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, loss of consortium, or loss of enjoyment of life.
