An injury changes your week, your paycheck, and sometimes your life. The insurance company's job is to pay as little as possible. Our job is to make them pay what the case is worth.

How We Build Your Case
We prepare every case as if it will be tried. That is what moves an insurance company.
- Evidence first. We send preservation letters and collect video, photos, and witness statements before they disappear.
- Medical proof. We gather the full treatment record so your injuries are documented, not just described.
- Every source of recovery. We identify each responsible party and every insurance policy that may apply.
What You Can Recover
- Medical bills, past and future
- Lost wages and loss of future earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- In death cases, the financial losses to the family
Partly at fault? You can still recover in New York. Your award is reduced by your share of the fault. It is not wiped out.
Deadlines
Most New York injury lawsuits must be filed within three years of the accident.
Claims against the City of New York, the Transit Authority, NYCHA, or another public agency move faster. A written notice of claim is generally due within 90 days, and the lawsuit generally must be filed within one year and 90 days.
Deadlines can be shorter or longer depending on the facts. Call before you assume it is too late or that you have time.
Common Questions
How much does it cost to hire you?
Nothing up front. We work on contingency. There is no fee unless we recover money for you, and we advance the costs of the case.
Should I talk to the insurance adjuster?
Not before you talk to a lawyer. Adjusters record statements and use them to reduce or deny claims. Let us handle the communication.
How long will my case take?
It depends on your injuries, your treatment, and whether the insurer is reasonable. We do not rush a settlement before we know the full extent of your injuries.
