Don’t fight this battle alone. Insurance companies and big corporations are not on your side, so you need a dedicated advocate to stand up for your rights. According to the Insurance Research Council, accident victims who hired an attorney received settlements 3.5 times higher than victims without legal representation.
During the history of our law firm, we have collected compensation for our clients totaling over $100 million.
Some of our most notable cases have included the following damage awards:
Every case is different, and the above successes are not meant to guarantee results for future litigation. However, you can always count on us to treat you like family. By being disciplined with our caseload, we can give every client the respect and attention they deserve.
During your initial consultation, we will evaluate the facts of your case to determine what you may be eligible to receive in compensation. The following factors contribute to the amount of a final settlement:
Our goal is to seek maximum compensation for our clients, and we will work with you side-by-side to gather evidence from an accident report, witness statements, surveillance footage, and other forensic evidence. We also have a network of expert witnesses who can help determine accurate damages that should be awarded to accident victims.
The type and amount of compensation you may be eligible for varies and is based on the facts of your incident. In determining what you can receive, we leave no stone unturned. Potential compensation may be available for the following:
We understand you are going through a difficult time, and we are here for you every step of the way.
Our attorneys have experience in several areas of personal injury, including slip and fall cases. At first glance, a slip and fall incident might not seem severe enough to warrant a trip to the doctor, let alone a lawsuit, but these injuries should be taken seriously.
According to the National Safety Council, there were 211,640 work-related slip and fall injuries in 2020 that required taking time off of work.
The above statistic is just the tip of the iceberg. When you factor in hazards at businesses and other people’s homes, the numbers escalate. The NSC also reported that 6.8 million people went to the emergency room for fall-related injuries.
Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, and the dangers multiply in major metropolitan areas like New York City. The most common places these injuries occur are in the following places:
Before you dismiss your fall as being “clumsy,” consider that there are several obstacles and hazards that can trip you up, including slippery surfaces, loose mats or rugs, faulty stepladders, and even poor lighting.
Did you know that there are over 12,000 miles of sidewalk in New York City? While the Department of Transportation (DOT) provides guidelines to keep city sidewalks smooth and clear from trip and fall hazards, it’s a big job that never ends.
Common defects in sidewalks include:
Any of these defects can lead to someone falling and sustaining a serious injury. Property owners and municipalities have a duty to maintain and repair sidewalks in a safe condition. When they fail to do so, you can potentially recover damages for your injuries.
Property owners have a duty to maintain a safe environment free from hazards. When they fail to uphold this duty, and an injury occurs, the property owner can be held financially responsible for your injuries, lost wages, and other damages.
Premises liability cases address any unsafe property condition that causes an injury, including slip and fall accidents, injuries due to inadequate security, elevator accidents, and other incidences that result in you being injured on someone else’s property.
Prevailing a premises liability case requires proving three elements:
On average, there are 65 New York subway accident deaths per year, but that figure soared to 88 deaths in 2022. 2022 saw a total of 1,365 subway-related incidents, and there was at least one incident of a person being dragged by a train.
Though relatively rare, even in metropolitan areas, subway accidents and collisions are often catastrophic, and assigning liability can get complicated. What makes subway accidents particularly alarming is that most of them can be avoided with reasonable actions prioritizing passenger safety.
Depending on the circumstances that led to an accident, there could be one or more liable parties, including another passenger, the government of New York City, or a private company.
The U.S. Constitution provides us with a collection of rights, and while police officers have a great deal of law enforcement authority, there are limits to what they can do. Sadly, police brutality is common in the United States, with more than 249 fatalities in the first quarter of 2022 caused by law enforcement.
In addition to this inexcusable number of fatalities at the hands of the law, an additional 250,000 civilians are injured by law enforcement officers annually.
Though police officers may be protected by governmental immunity while performing their job duties, this immunity does not extend to acts that violate a person’s constitutional rights. Our personal injury attorneys can help you identify whether you have a case for police brutality or misconduct.
Police misconduct may include the following behaviors:
Personal injury is an umbrella term encompassing any type of injury caused by another person’s careless or reckless behavior. In addition to the above list, our personal injury attorneys also provide representation to clients for a variety of claims, including:
It’s not uncommon for clients to approach us, unsure whether they have a case that warrants compensation. They may have been offered a low settlement by an insurance company or been told they’re not eligible for any compensation whatsoever.
As a first step in building your case, we determine whether another party is liable for your injuries. This involves establishing the following:
