No Fee and No Costs Unless We Win

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.
