Types of Bronx Injury Cases We Represent
From car accidents, to slip-and-falls, head injuries, pedestrian and construction accidents, our Bronx injury lawyers handle any case in which a Bronx resident was injured by someone else’s negligence.
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: From single-car rollover accidents to head-on collisions, drivers and pedestrians who are victims of virtually any type of motor vehicle accident may be eligible for compensation.
- Premises Liability: Dog bites, slip (or trip) and falls, and any other injury sustained due to the failure to follow safety standards by a third party may make victims eligible for compensation.
- Work-Related Injuries: Employers are responsible for ensuring workers are equipped with proper safety tools and equipment. They are also responsible for making sure work areas are hazard-free. Workers injured due to the employer’s negligence to abide by safety standards may receive compensation for injuries, as well as lost wages from days spent out of work.
- Pedestrian Accidents: The Bronx can be a dangerous place to cross the street. Crosswalk, intersection and sidewalk accidents occur frequently due to distracted, frustrated and negligent drivers. In these cases, having a personal injury attorney is recommended in order to make sure your voice is heard in court.
- Defective Drugs & Devices: When manufacturers fail to implement proper safety measures, defective drugs and devices may be sold to unwary consumers. Those that are injured by these products may be eligible for compensation—especially those that are prescribed defective products by medical professionals.
- Medical Malpractice: All damages from surgical mishaps, faulty prescriptions and improperly administered medical devices all can be covered with compensation from a medical malpractice lawsuit.

Bronx Injury Settlement Amounts
Our Bronx attorneys believe in absolute transparency. So, they have no hesitation in saying that an injury attorney cannot truthfully tell you an accurate settlement value until all the unique factors of your case are analyzed. However, an experienced attorney can provide thorough estimations of a case’s value in an initial consultation with their clients, based on their many years of experience winning similar cases.
The biggest factors that affect settlement values include the severity of an injury, how much fault can be proven on behalf of the negligent party, as well as the amount of money lost to a victim’s medical expenses, lost past and future wages, property damage, pain, suffering and all other damages related to an accident.
In these cases, having an experienced and trusted personal injury attorney by your side to maximize your settlement can help you recover financially, enhance your physical recovery, and increase your quality of life.

Bronx Injury Lawsuits: What to Do Before You File
There are certain steps you can take as soon as possible after your accident to maximize your chances of building a successful case—before you file a lawsuit:
- Do NOT let the other party’s insurance company take a recorded statement regarding the accident. This is typically asked by insurance companies so that statements made before consulting with an attorney can be used as evidence that may discredit any recounting of the accident later
- Collect a copy of the police report
- Try to get a recording or hand-written account from any witness of the accident willing to give you a statement
- Many areas are equipped with security cameras to catch people who illegally disregard safety standards. This can be valuable evidence for your case. A personal injury lawyer will be able to help you collect this evidence.
- Keep a detailed record of all medical records relating to your injury, as well as a list of lost working hours and wages that are directly related to any injury.
It is recommended that you enlist the help of a personal injury attorney with years of experience representing those involved in accidents similar to yours. The right lawyer can help you collect all the evidence, paperwork and testimonials you’ll need to build your case, and maximize your settlement.

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): Bronx, NY
Every person who works is eligible for social security disability benefits. So long as you or your employer has paid your Social Security taxes, you are covered. Almost every working person is covered under this insurance.
But unlike Social Security retirement benefits, disability benefits aren’t automatic. Unfortunately, over 60 percent of the people who apply for SSD benefits are initially rejected. A lawyer can help. The assistance of an experienced social security disability attorney can make all the difference.
It will take from two to six months for a ruling on your case. If you are denied benefits, we will appeal that decision and request a hearing. This can take up to 22 months. If you are further denied benefits, we won’t give up.
