Lake Placid New York Personal Injury Lawyers

Serving Clients throughout the State of New York

Lake Placid, a picturesque village nestled in the Adirondack Mountains, is known for its stunning natural beauty and rich Olympic history. As a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and tourists alike, Lake Placid offers a wide range of activities throughout the year.

Visitors stay in lakeside hotels and full-service resorts around Main Street and Mirror Lake during ski season and summer vacations. Tourists frequently use Olympic winter sports venues such as Whiteface Mountain and Mt. Van Hoevenberg for skiing, snowboarding, and sliding sports. Lake Placid hosts year-round recreation, including hiking and water sports in warmer months and snow sports in winter.

However, accidents can happen anywhere, and Lake Placid is no exception. Whether you're enjoying the slopes at Whiteface Mountain, strolling along Main Street, or visiting one of the many local attractions, there's always a risk of injury due to someone else's negligence.

At the Porter Law Group, we understand that personal injuries can occur in various forms. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury in Lake Placid, our experienced personal injury attorneys are here to help.

What to Do After an Accident in Lake Placid

If you've been injured in Lake Placid due to someone else's negligence or wrongdoing, taking the right steps immediately after an accident can strengthen your case and protect your legal rights. Here's what you should do:

1. Report the incident promptly to the property owner, hotel or resort management, ski patrol, or your employer, and request that an incident report be created.
2. Document the scene by taking photos or video of hazards, vehicles, weather conditions, and any visible injuries as soon as it is safe to do so.
3. Get medical care right away, either from local urgent care/emergency services or your doctor, and follow all treatment recommendations so your injuries are properly documented.
4. Collect witness names and contact information, and, if possible, note any employees or officials who responded to the incident.
5. Preserve receipts and records for medical treatment, medications, travel, lodging changes, and other out-of-pocket losses related to the accident.
6. Avoid giving recorded statements or signing forms for insurers or corporate risk managers before you understand your rights or speak with a lawyer.
