No Fee and No Costs Unless We Win

Comprehensive Personal Injury Representation in NYC

Personal injury cases often involve complex legal challenges, from proving negligence to navigating insurance claims. At Veridian Legal, we handle a wide range of PI cases with expertise and care, ensuring you get the compensation you deserve for medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress. Below are our key practice areas, each tailored to meet the unique needs of NYC clients.

Car & Vehicle-Related Accidents Across Manhattan and Beyond

NYC’s busy streets can be dangerous, and vehicle accidents are a leading cause of injury. We represent victims in:

Premises Liability and Slip-and-Fall Cases in NYC

Property owners in New York have a duty to keep their premises safe. When they fail, Veridian Legal steps in:

  • Slip and Fall Accidents: From wet floors to uneven surfaces, we handle all slip-and-fall claims.

  • Fall on Ice: Icy sidewalks in NYC winters can be deadly—we fight for compensation.

  • Broken Sidewalks: Injured by a cracked sidewalk? We hold property owners accountable.

  • Broken Stairs: Faulty stairs can cause serious falls—we pursue justice.

Assault and Violence-Related Injuries in New York

Victims’ Rights and Online Abuse Cases

While Veridian Legal is a leader in victims’ rights, we also handle personal injury claims tied to online abuse:

  • New York Revenge Porn: Victims of revenge porn suffer emotional and physical harm—we fight for damages.

Injuries We Handle

We represent New Yorkers with injuries ranging from sprains to life-changing spinal damage. Common injuries in our cases include:

  • Shoulder injuries: rotator cuff and labral tears, dislocations and fractures, often from falls and car crashes.

  • Torn ACL and knee injuries: ligament and meniscus tears that can require surgery and months of rehabilitation.

  • Sprains and strains: soft-tissue injuries to the neck, back and joints, common after rear-end collisions.

  • Hip fractures: serious fractures, especially for older adults after falls on stairs, ice or broken sidewalks.

  • Bone fractures: broken wrists, arms, ankles and legs from falls, crashes and assaults.

  • Concussions and head injuries: traumatic brain injuries whose symptoms can appear days after an accident.

  • Spinal cord injuries: herniated discs and spinal damage that can cause lasting pain or loss of function.

Under New York’s no-fault law, many car-accident claims require a “serious injury” under Insurance Law § 5102(d), such as a fracture or a significant limitation of use of a body part. We document your injury with that standard in mind from day one.

Client Reviews

  • ★★★★★

    “I rarely leave reviews, but I am incredibly grateful for Daniel Szalkiewicz and this firm. I researched for days on end to find a reputable and very knowledgeable attorney in my hometown state that could help me get some concrete answers on my constitutional rights as an author for an upcoming published book. With no success, I was advised to contact a NY attorney across the country. This firm was the 2nd firm I called, as the first didn't pick up. Daniel answered the phone after 2 rings. I thought I was going to get the run around like all other attorneys I had previously contacted, but not with Daniel. Not only did he respect my concerns, he went above and beyond to take an immense amount of time allowing me to explain everything.

    Daniel and his team worked on my case for years...due to covid. He's fair, responsive and got the judgment I deserved. So thankful to him and his team for all their efforts and time.

    I feel so fortunate to have been introduced to Daniel! He was honest, straightforward, worked efficiently and resolved my case. I normally dread interacting with attorneys. What a breath of fresh air!

    Daniel has gone above and beyond with me and I am grateful to have him. I talked to many lawyers and I don't feel like anyone that I talked to would have compared.
