Our Practice Areas
Car Accidents
A crash can happen in a flash, but the impacts could last a lifetime. Whether you were hit by a distracted or drunk driver or were the victim of a hit-and-run, you shouldn’t have to pay the price for their negligence. Insurance companies might try to downplay your trauma or deny your claim altogether, but we can help you fight back.
Truck Accidents
Collisions with commercial trucks are some of the most devastating accidents on the road. These massive vehicles often cause catastrophic injuries, and trucking companies will do whatever they can to avoid taking responsibility. We investigate driver logs, maintenance records, and company policies to prove negligence and go after the compensation you deserve.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists have just as much right to the road as anyone else, but that doesn’t stop reckless drivers from putting them in danger. Lane splitting, left turns, and drivers who “just didn’t see” a motorcycle can leave riders severely hurt. Worse, insurance likes to blame bikers for their own accidents. We fight for motorcyclists to make sure they get the medical care and financial assistance they need to recover.
Bicycle Accidents
Queens has seen an uptick in bike riders, but the roads aren’t always safe for them. Because they lack the protection of regular vehicles, riders are often left with serious injuries. Even if you were partially at fault in a bicycle accident, you may still have a case. We know New York’s bike laws and will fight to get you the support you need. No one should have to suffer for choosing a greener, healthier way to get around.
Pedestrian Accidents
When a pedestrian is hit by a car, the injuries can be extremely serious. Drivers put them at risk every day by not looking for them or just not paying attention as they drive. We fight to hold these drivers accountable. Even if the driver fled from the scene, we can help you figure out your legal and financial options for your recovery.
Work Injuries
Getting hurt on the job puts your entire livelihood at risk. New York’s workers’ compensation system is supposed to cover your medical costs and lost wages, but claims are often underpaid or denied. We help injured workers fight for the benefits due to them and explore other options if someone other than your employer caused your accident.
Premises Liability
Property owners are supposed to keep their spaces safe for visitors. When they don’t, people can get hurt. Slippery floors, broken stairs, bad lighting, and even ineffective security can all lead to serious injuries. We can investigate the circumstances and fight to protect your rights by holding the property owner accountable for their negligence.
Slip and Fall
Slipping on a wet floor or tripping on something left in the walkway might not sound serious — until it happens to you. Head trauma, broken bones, and chronic pain are common after a fall, and recovery can get expensive. We can look at what happened and make sure you’re not left to pay the price for someone else’s carelessness.
Medical Malpractice
Nurses, doctors, and hospitals are supposed to help people, not harm them. However, surgical mistakes, misdiagnoses, medication mix-ups, and neglect can turn a routine visit into a nightmare. These cases are extremely complicated, but we know what it takes to prove negligence and get justice for victims.
Burn Injuries
Burns are painful enough on their own, but in the aftermath they can leave permanent scars, nerve damage, and life-changing disabilities. We work to secure compensation for medical care, rehab, therapy, and the emotional toll that burn injuries leave behind.
Dog Bites
Dog attacks can leave victims with serious infections, deep wounds, and lasting psychological trauma. If someone’s pet has hurt you or your child, the owner should be held accountable. New York has laws to protect dog bite victims, and we can fight to make sure you can afford the care and financial help you need. You shouldn’t have to suffer just because someone else failed to control their animal.
Social Security Disability
It shouldn’t be so difficult to be approved for Social Security disability, but the reality is that most first-time applicants get denied. If you can’t work because of an illness or disability, we can help you appeal your denial and fight for the benefits you deserve. The system is complicated, but we know how to navigate it so you have the best chance of getting the support you need.
Nursing Home Abuse
Families trust nursing homes to take care of their loved ones. Unfortunately, some places cut corners, hire bad staff, and don’t give the proper care. If you suspect your loved one has been mistreated at a nursing home, we can help you take action. We fight for the safety and dignity of residents so they don’t have to suffer in silence.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one is devastating enough without the cause being someone else’s negligence. A lawsuit can’t bring a person back, but it can give you justice and financial relief for funeral costs, lost income, and the emotional toll on your family. We handle wrongful death cases with compassion and dedication to make sure your family gets what they need during this difficult time.
No matter how you were injured, you deserve justice. We’re here to fight for the compensation you need to move forward.
What to Expect in a Personal Injury Case
Consultation and Evaluation
The first step is simple — you tell us what happened. We’ll listen, answer any questions you have, and give an honest opinion based on our first impression. There’s no pressure to hire us and no cost to you. If we take your case, we’ll do a deep dive into how your accident happened, who is responsible for your injuries, and how much your case is worth.
Evidence Collection
A successful case needs strong proof. We’ll gather medical records, accident reports, witness statements, video footage, and expert opinions to show exactly what happened and why you deserve to be compensated. The stronger the evidence, the better your chances of getting the full amount you are owed.
Negotiation
Insurance companies aren’t interested in paying you what you deserve. They want to settle fast and cheap so they can protect their bottom line. We won’t let them take advantage of you. Our team fights for a fair settlement that will cover all of your losses.
Litigation
Most cases settle before making it to trial. However, sometimes insurance just refuses to play fair. If that happens, we’re not afraid to take them to court. We’ll prepare your case, argue on your behalf, and fight for the most compensation possible.
How Long Will It Take?
Every case is different. Simpler claims usually settle within a few months, but more complicated cases and those that go to trial will take longer. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way so you never have to wonder what’s going on with your claim.

FAQ
We know you probably have a lot of questions — and you should. Filing a personal injury claim can feel confusing, but we’re here to make things simple. Here are some of the most common questions we hear.
How is compensation calculated?
The amount you can recover depends on the details of your case. Settlements usually cover your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. More severe injuries with greater impacts on your life have the potential for higher payouts.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Most personal injury cases in New York have a statute of limitations of three years from the day of the accident. However, some cases have different deadlines. It’s best to start the process as soon as you can so you don’t risk losing your right to compensation.
Can I still file if my injuries aren’t serious?
Yes, you absolutely can! Some injuries get worse with time, and even minor physical trauma can cause major problems. If your accident was caused by negligence, you have the right to file a claim no matter how “small” your injury seems right now.
What if I contributed to the accident?
New York follows a comparative negligence rule, which means you can file a case even if something you did played a part in your injury. However, your final payout will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% responsible and your payout would have been $100,000, you would get $80,000 of that.
Still have questions? Just give us a call. We’re happy to help in whatever way you need.
