Bronx Personal Injury Lawyer
An injury on the Cross Bronx Expressway, a fall at a NYCHA building, a construction site collapse on the Grand Concourse – each one leaves a Bronx family facing an impossible situation: mounting medical bills, lost income, and an insurance company offering far less than your case is worth. We treat your injury as if it happened to one of our own. Our team of 20 injury specialists prepares every case as though it is going to trial, because that preparation is exactly what forces insurance companies to pay the maximum compensation.
One Accident Changes Everything. You Deserve Real Help.
Medical Bills Piling Up?
We connect clients with top-rated physicians who treat on a lien basis – meaning you receive care now and pay nothing until your case resolves.
Lost Wages from Time Off Work?
Lost income is a recoverable damage. We document and fight for every dollar of income you lost – past and future – due to your injury.
Insurance Company Low-Balling You?
Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize settlements. Our attorneys calculate the true value of your claim and negotiate aggressively on your behalf.
Worried About Courtroom Costs?
Frekhtman & Associates operates on a pure contingency fee basis. You pay absolutely nothing unless we successfully recover compensation for you.
Our Case Results: $900M+ Recovered For Clients
* While these multi-million dollar results demonstrate our firm’s achievements, past results do not guarantee any future outcome, and every case is different.
Under New York CPLR § 214, personal injury claims based on negligence carry a 3-year statute of limitations from the date of injury. Medical malpractice claims carry a 2.5-year limit. Call today – missing the deadline permanently extinguishes your right to recover.
We Handle All Major Types of Personal Injury Cases in the Bronx
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.
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.
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.
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.

We Know the Bronx - Every Street, Every Hazard, Every Court
The Bronx presents specific, recurring accident conditions that attorneys unfamiliar with the borough consistently undervalue. Our attorneys know the dangerous merge at the Sheridan-Bruckner interchange, the chronically defective sidewalks along Fordham Road, and the high-pedestrian-risk intersections at 149th Street and Third Avenue.
We practice regularly in Bronx County Supreme Court at 851 Grand Concourse, where familiarity with local judges, court officers, and filing procedures accelerates case timelines and improves outcomes.
Our client base spans every Bronx neighborhood – from Riverdale and Co-op City to Hunts Point, Mott Haven, and the South Bronx. We understand what Bronx families face when injury strikes: tight finances, language barriers, and skepticism toward a legal system that has not always served this community fairly.
Common Bronx Accident Locations We Know Well
- Cross Bronx Expressway (I-95) — high-frequency multi-vehicle collisions and truck accidents
- Major Deegan Expressway (I-87) — merge-zone accidents near Yankee Stadium
- Sheridan Expressway / Bruckner Boulevard interchange — dangerous merge configurations
- Fordham Road — pedestrian knockdowns and slip-and-fall on deteriorating sidewalks
- Grand Concourse — cyclist and pedestrian accidents at high-volume intersections
- NYCHA buildings across the Bronx — elevator failures, lead exposure, and inadequate security injuries
- Bronx River Parkway — single and multi-vehicle accidents on curved sections
- Elevated IRT subway stations — platform falls and dangerous stairwell conditions
Common Questions From Bronx Injury Victims
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in the Bronx?
New York’s statute of limitations for most personal injury negligence claims is 3 years from the date of injury. Medical malpractice carries a 2.5-year limit. Claims against New York City agencies require a Notice of Claim filed within 90 days. Contact an attorney immediately to preserve your rights.
What is my Bronx personal injury case worth?
The value of your case is determined by 4 primary factors: the severity and permanence of your injury, your total medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, and pain and suffering. Cases involving permanent disabilities, surgeries, or lost earning capacity typically result in significantly higher recoveries.
What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning you recover compensation reduced by your percentage of fault. Even if you were 50% at fault, you retain the right to recover the other 50% of your damages. Do not assume partial fault eliminates your claim — contact an attorney first.
Should I accept the insurance company's first settlement offer?
No. The first offer from an insurance adjuster is consistently below the true value of the claim. Insurance companies are trained to minimize payouts. Do not sign any settlement agreement or release without first speaking to a personal injury attorney who can evaluate the full value of your case.
How long does a personal injury case in the Bronx take to resolve?
A Bronx personal injury case resolves in a range of several months to several years, depending on the complexity of liability, severity of injuries, and court docket. Cases with clear liability and well-documented damages typically settle faster. We provide realistic timelines at your free consultation.
Can I get medical treatment before my case settles?
Yes. Frekhtman & Associates connects injured clients with physicians who treat on a medical lien basis — meaning you receive treatment now and the physician is paid from your settlement proceeds. You do not need health insurance or upfront funds to begin medical care.
Do you handle cases at Bronx County Supreme Court?
Yes. Our attorneys practice regularly in Bronx County Supreme Court at 851 Grand Concourse. Familiarity with Bronx judges, court procedures, and local filing requirements gives our clients a strategic advantage compared to attorneys who rarely appear in Bronx County.
