Comprehensive Personal Injury Services
Motorvehicle/Car Accidents
Motor vehicle or car accidents can cause serious injuries to drivers and passengers, even at low speeds. We represent individuals injured in car accidents caused by negligent, distracted, reckless, or impaired drivers and handle all aspects of the claim from investigation through resolution. Our firm works to establish liability, coordinate insurance coverage, and document damages to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term injuries.
Truck Accidents
Truck accidents often involve severe injuries and complex liability issues due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles and the regulations governing them. We represent drivers and passengers injured in accidents involving tractor-trailers and other commercial trucks and conduct detailed investigations into driver conduct, vehicle maintenance, and regulatory compliance.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents often result in severe or catastrophic injuries due to the limited protection afforded to riders. These collisions are frequently caused by drivers who fail to see motorcycles, make unsafe lane changes, or violate traffic laws. We represent motorcyclists injured by negligent drivers and conduct thorough investigations to establish liability, address comparative fault arguments, and document the full extent of damages.
Uber/Lyft/Taxi Accident
Rideshare and taxi accidents involve complex insurance structures that differ significantly from standard motor vehicle claims. Liability and coverage often depend on whether the driver was logged into the app, actively transporting a passenger, or en route to a pickup. We represent individuals injured in Uber, Lyft, and taxi-related accidents and conduct thorough coverage and liability analyses to identify all available sources of recovery.
Pedestrian And Bicycle Accidents
Pedestrians and cyclists are especially vulnerable to serious injury when struck by motor vehicles. These accidents often occur in crosswalks, intersections, bike lanes, and parking areas due to driver inattention, failure to yield, or traffic violations. We represent pedestrians and bicyclists injured by negligent drivers and conduct thorough investigations to establish liability and document the full extent of damages.
E-bike/E-scooter Accident
E-bike and electric scooter accidents present unique legal issues involving evolving traffic laws, vehicle classifications, and insurance coverage. Injuries may occur due to negligent drivers, unsafe roadway conditions, defective equipment, or inadequate maintenance by rental companies. We represent riders and pedestrians injured in e-bike and electric scooter accidents and conduct thorough investigations to identify all responsible parties and available sources of recovery.
Transit Accident
Transit accidents can involve buses, subways, trains, and other public or private transportation systems and often raise complex issues of liability, governmental immunity, and strict notice requirements. We represent individuals injured as passengers, pedestrians, or motorists in transit-related accidents and conduct thorough investigations to identify responsible parties and preserve critical evidence.
Slip and Fall/Premises Liability
Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. When they fail to repair hazards or warn of dangerous conditions, innocent visitors can suffer serious injuries. Our firm represents individuals injured in slip and fall accidents caused by unsafe property conditions, whether in a private home, business, or public area.
NY Sidewalk/Trip & Fall Accidents
In New York, property owners are generally responsible for maintaining sidewalks abutting their property in a reasonably safe condition, with limited exceptions. Trip and fall accidents often occur due to cracked pavement, uneven surfaces, tree root uplift, snow or ice accumulation, or other dangerous defects. We represent individuals injured in sidewalk trip and fall accidents and investigate ownership, maintenance obligations, and prior notice issues to establish liability.
