Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions regarding personal injury claims in New York.

How much does it cost to hire you?

Nothing upfront. Contingency fee only. No win, no fee. We advance all litigation costs and get paid only when we win your compensation.

How quickly should I contact a lawyer?

Same day. Evidence disappears fast and the insurance company starts building against you immediately. Call us before speaking to any adjuster.

Will my case go to trial?

Most cases settle. If the insurer will not pay what your case is worth, we take them to court. Preparing for trial is why we win higher settlements.

What if I was partially at fault?

New York’s comparative negligence law means you can still recover even if you were partly at fault. Your award is reduced proportionally, not barred.

Can I sue the city of New York or MTA?

Yes. But a Notice of Claim must be filed within 90 days of the incident. Miss that window and the case is gone. Call immediately.

Do you speak Spanish?

Yes. Full legal services in English and Spanish. Hablamos Español.
