Our Practice Areas
While it’s possible to handle a personal injury case on your own, having an experienced attorney by your side significantly increases the likelihood of a favorable outcome. According to studies, victims represented by a personal injury lawyer receive higher settlement amounts compared to those who handle their cases independently. Here are some of the practice areas we handle:
After a serious car crash, auto accident, or vehicle collision, your financial future should be protected. We will vigorously advocate for your claim to secure the maximum compensation possible.
A truck accident often results in catastrophic injury due to the sheer size of the vehicle. If you were involved in a collision with a semi-truck, 18-wheeler, or commercial vehicle, our legal team is ready.
Whether you suffered a serious slip and fall at a retail store, were injured at a dangerous vacation rental, or involved in a pool accident, the owner has a duty of care.
Our dedicated team meticulously navigates the process to ensure you receive the maximum workers’ compensation benefits you are legally owed.
Our firm partners with renowned expert witnesses and physicians to thoroughly investigate your negligence claim.
A Traumatic Brain Injury claim is not just about the accident; it requires navigating complex neurological evidence and uncooperative insurance adjusters who deny the severity of a concussion or brain damage.
Surviving family members who lost a loved one unexpectedly due to fatal injuries are known under New York law as legal dependents may be able to recover financial compensation by filing a wrongful death case.

General Q&As You Might Have
What are the odds of winning a personal injury lawsuit?
Most injury victims win or settle successfully – according to national statistics, 95% of cases settle before trial in favor of the plaintiff. And among those that do go to court, plaintiffs win about 50% of the time.
What exactly happens during the discovery phase of a personal injury case?
It is during this important and sometimes lengthy phase that we make written demands for documents and answers to stated questions (interrogatories). We may also request the right to depose (question under oath) the defendant and all relevant witnesses.
We make these requests to learn everything the insurance company and their lawyers are legally required to reveal about the case they are building against your claim. They, in turn, make similar demands of our firm, requiring us to carefully review all your medical reports. They may also request your deposition.
If they ask to depose you, rest assured that we will fully prepare you for that event – and be sitting there with you throughout that process. If you tell the truth, you should do fine. The other side may also request the right to depose one or more of your doctors. Witnesses to key events may also be deposed. Depending on the complexity of your case, the discovery phase may last between six months to a year (possibly longer if unexpected events or complications develop).
Will you start trying to settle my personal injury case again once this discovery process ends?
Yes. Yet please remember that we always continue to try and settle your case, regardless of the status of your lawsuit. Keep in mind that well over 90% of personal injury lawsuits are settled. However, in some cases, a court may ask us to go through a mediation process. This involves a third-party mediator trying to help us (and the attorneys for the defendant) find common ground so we can settle.
Will you tell me as soon as my personal injury case is set for trial and what I should expect?
Yes, either your attorney or the paralegal assigned to your case will always keep you updated about your case status – and you are free to call or email us when you have questions. Do keep in mind that trial dates are sometimes moved due to conflicts that cannot always be avoided. As soon as we learn about a new date, we will tell you about it.
Once the actual trial begins, it could last just part of a day – or a week (sometimes longer). Since the lawyers for both sides are fully aware of the main arguments that will be presented, this helps us limit the time required. Of course, if you had to undergo multiple surgeries and complex forms of different types of rehabilitation, many more potential witnesses may be involved.
Also, depending on the nature of your case, we may hire expert witnesses to help us bolster your claim. These may not only be medical experts – they might also be highly experienced engineers who can help the jurors by providing accident reconstruction models. Other experts specialize in analyzing all your injuries and coming up with economic projections about the cost of all future medical care you may need over your lifetime.
Our lengthy experience handling many different types of serious personal injury cases helps us determine the precise amount of outside help that may – or may not – be required. We take our responsibility to win the maximum compensation available for you very seriously.
How soon will you first try and settle my Personal Injury case?
While we always make early efforts to settle each claim, we cannot responsibly do so until you have reached a status known as maximum medical improvement (MMI). Until that time, no one can accurately evaluate the full, true value of your case. Since this can take months, patience is crucial during these earlier stages. And daily diligence on our part is equally important.
Once we receive each treating doctor’s final records (clearly detailing all your recent injuries and treatments) – and document all permanent injuries and likely future medical needs – we can move forward in our negotiations. We will fight hard to settle for the maximum compensation available. Our firm never wants any insurance company adjustor – or trial jurors to underestimate the full value of your case.
