Personal Injury Representation Across New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County
Vehicle Accidents – Our office deals with all types of motor vehicle collisions, including car accidents, truck accidents, bus accidents and motorcycle accidents. We help victims of vehicle on vehicle collisions, as well as bicyclists and pedestrians struck by motor vehicles. We understand New York’s complicated no-fault system and know how to successfully file an MVAIC claim or recover for serious injuries in a civil lawsuit.
Premises Liability – Property owners have a duty to maintain their premises in a safe condition. From a slip and fall on a wet floor to a trip on a broken sidewalk, we work to identify the responsible party and hold them accountable for their negligence. We hold apartment building owners liable for the presence of dangerous lead, or for negligent security that allows assaults to take place that could have been prevented. We will also hold municipalities and public transit liable for accidents that occur on their property.
Medical Malpractice – When doctors, nurses or other health care practitioners violate the trust we have placed in them, the results can be traumatic and even deadly. We hold doctors liable for their negligence, incompetence or violation of professional ethics that results in injury, including birth injuries. We also hold hospitals and HMOs and pharmacists liable for malpractice when their conduct causes harm.
Workplace Injuries – Workers who are injured on the job or suffer from an occupational disease are entitled to medical expenses and wage replacement benefits whether partially or totally disabled, or left with a temporary or permanent disability. We help injured workers obtain the workers’ compensation benefits to which they are entitled, while also considering sources of third party liability where applicable. Our job-related injury practice places special emphasis on construction accidents, including scaffolding collapses, ladder falls, electrocution, and forklift & crane accidents.
Catastrophic Injuries – The most serious accidents are generally the most expensive and often the most complicated to deal with, involving complex factual and legal questions. Getting the most compensation requires a thorough understanding of the injury and the comprehensive needs of the injured. We represent victims of traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, burns, amputations, fractures, peripheral nerve damage and more. We also represent families who have a lost a loved one by pursuing wrongful death and survival actions to help ease the financial burden left behind by the loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of cases does a New York personal injury lawyer handle?
A New York personal injury lawyer may handle cases involving car accidents, construction accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, workplace injuries, and wrongful death claims. These cases typically involve injuries caused by negligence, unsafe conditions, or misconduct.
Do I need a lawyer after an accident in New York City?
While not required, working with a lawyer can be critical in navigating insurance claims, determining liability, and pursuing full compensation. New York’s legal and insurance systems can be complex, especially in cases involving serious injuries or multiple parties.
How does New York’s no-fault insurance system work?
New York follows a no-fault system for most motor vehicle accidents, meaning your own insurance covers basic medical expenses and lost wages regardless of who caused the accident.

What compensation can I recover in a personal injury case?
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, and other damages related to the injury. The specific recovery depends on the facts of the case and the severity of the harm.
How long do I have to file a claim in New York?
The time to file a claim, known as the statute of limitations, varies depending on the type of case. Personal injury claims generally must be filed within a set period, but claims involving municipalities or medical malpractice may have different deadlines.
