Injured? Our New York City Personal Injury Law Firm Can Help

During a free personal injury consultation, you tell us what happened and describe your injuries. We review the information you provide, explain your potential legal options, and discuss next steps. There is no cost or obligation to hire us. To request a consultation, call (212) 268-3222, complete our case evaluation form, or start a live chat. Our intake team is available 24/7.

You don't need anything to call us. If you have them, gather the date and place of the accident, photos, witness names and the police or accident report number. Letters from insurers and your medical records and bills help too.

You'll have direct access to a paralegal, a dedicated attorney and a dedicated partner. Your personal injury attorney and paralegal handle day-to-day questions and updates. Partner Howard Raphaelson or Andrew Levine oversees your case and meets weekly with our 16 attorneys to review its progress, next steps and legal strategy.

We represent people hurt in car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, Uber and Lyft crashes, and in MTA bus, subway and train accidents. We also handle construction and workplace injuries, slip and fall and other unsafe-property claims, defective products and wrongful death. That includes serious and catastrophic injuries such as brain and spinal cord injuries.

Yes. We represent people with life-changing injuries, such as brain and spinal cord injuries, amputations and multiple fractures, along with families who have lost someone. We prepare every case for trial and work with medical experts, life care planners and economists to prove the full cost of your future care and lost income.

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, so you pay no attorney's fee unless we recover compensation for you. We advance the case costs. If we recover, our fee and those costs come out of the recovery, and if we don't, you owe us nothing.

In most New York personal injury cases, you have three years from the injury to file a lawsuit. Claims against New York City, the MTA or another public agency move much faster: you usually must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days and sue within one year and 90 days. Wrongful death claims generally must be filed within two years of the death. Our lawyers will confirm which deadlines apply to your case.

The value of a New York personal injury claim depends on your injuries, medical expenses, future care needs, lost income, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Fault and available insurance coverage also affect what you may recover. During a free consultation, our lawyers can review your circumstances and explain the factors that may affect your claim’s value. Explore our 347 published case results for examples of verdicts and settlements we’ve obtained. Every case is different, and prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

The time needed to resolve a New York personal injury claim depends on your medical treatment, the issues in dispute, and whether the case settles or goes to trial.

Not before a lawyer reviews it. Early offers often come before the full cost of your treatment is known, and accepting one usually means signing a release that ends your claim. Don't sign anything or give a recorded statement to the insurer until you've talked with us.

We prepare every case for trial from the start, which puts us in a stronger position to negotiate. Many cases still settle, and you decide whether to accept an offer. If a fair settlement isn't on the table, we're ready to take your case to a jury.

We have offices in Midtown Manhattan across from Penn Station, in Flushing near the Main St station, and in Woodbury on Long Island. Our team speaks English, Spanish and Mandarin, and our intake line is available 24/7. Flushing visits are by appointment.

Look for a firm that represents only injured people, has tried cases to verdict and publishes its results. You should also know who will handle your case and how they'll keep you updated, and you should pay no attorney's fee unless the firm recovers for you. Ask whether the firm has offices you can reach and staff who speak your language.
