Injuries & Accident Types We Handle

Car Accidents in Brooklyn

The majority of auto collisions here stem from driver mistakes like texting, speeding, unsafe lane changes, or running red lights. If a negligent driver injured you in a crash on Atlantic Ave, Eastern Parkway, or any Brooklyn thoroughfare, you need an attorney who knows how to secure top results.

Truck & Commercial Vehicle Crashes

With delivery trucks, semis and large commercial vehicles on Brooklyn roads daily, collisions often result in catastrophic injuries. We handle cases involving overloaded trucks, defective maintenance, reckless driving or hazardous cargo.

Slip & Fall / Premises Liability

Property owners in Brooklyn—from retail stores in Williamsburg to apartment buildings in Bed-Stuy—must maintain safe conditions. If you slipped on a wet floor, tripped down poorly lit stairs, or were injured due to inadequate security, we’ll pursue compensation for your injuries.

Bicycle, Pedestrian & Motorcycle Accidents

Brooklyn’s dense traffic environment puts cyclists and pedestrians at high risk. Head injuries, spinal damage, and fractures are common—and your attorney must know how to go up against negligent drivers and insurers.

Construction Site & On-the-Job Injuries

Construction zones in Brooklyn present constant hazards. If you were hurt on a jobsite—including an accident while driving for work or servicing equipment—you may have a workers’ compensation claim and a third-party injury claim.

Dog Bites, Burn Injuries & Wrongful Death

From dog attacks in Brooklyn parks to burn injuries from negligent maintenance, our lawyers handle every type of personal injury. In wrongful death cases, we seek compensation for families who’ve lost a loved one due to negligence.
