Personal Injury Claims in New York

When you are hurt because of someone else's carelessness, the law allows you to seek compensation for what the injury has cost you.

We handle the paperwork, deadlines, and insurance company tactics so you can focus on healing.

We know New York's no-fault rules, how comparative negligence affects what a claim is worth, and what it takes to meet the state's serious injury threshold, and we put that knowledge to work from your first consultation.

Personal Injury Claims Questions, Answered by Our Attorneys

In most cases you have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York. Some claims, such as those against a government entity, have much shorter deadlines, so it is best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

Every case is different. The value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your medical costs, lost income, and how the injury affects your daily life. We evaluate all of these before advising you on what your claim may be worth.

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. Our fee comes out of your settlement or award, so you do not pay unless we win your case.

Many personal injury cases settle without a trial, but we prepare every case as if it may go to court. That preparation is often what puts us in a strong position to negotiate a fair settlement.
