Additionnally our Managing Partner, Ben Rubinowitz was ranked 2025 #1 Personal Injury Lawyer in New York Metro by SuperLawyers.

One of the most notable Bronx cases handled by our firm was the wrongful death of Amadou Diallo, a case that drew national attention and underscored the importance of seeking justice for victims of police misconduct. Our attorneys fought tirelessly on behalf of the Diallo family, demonstrating our commitment to securing justice for Bronx residents.

In addition to high-profile cases like Diallo, our attorneys are also renowned as top Bronx personal injury lawyers in all other areas of injury law. For example, our firm achieved a substantial confidential settlement for the victims of the Bronx River Parkway Accident. This case involved multiple victims and complex liability issues, but our attorneys’ relentless advocacy ensured that the victims and their families received the justice and compensation they deserved.

Our team has over a century of experience achieving exceptional results. We understand the unique challenges Bronx residents face, and our deep familiarity with the local courts and legal landscape ensures that we can deliver the justice and compensation our clients deserve.

Our area of expertise includes but is not limited to:

The Bronx is notorious for heavy traffic and congested streets like the Major Deegan Expressway, Cross Bronx Expressway, and Bronx River Parkway. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling cases involving car, truck, bus and motorcycle accidents in this area. We understand how factors like distracted driving, speeding, and reckless behavior can lead to devastating crashes. Whether you were injured as a pedestrian or cyclist due to a driver's failure to yield, or were the victim of a hit-and-run, we have the expertise to fight for your rights and secure the compensation you deserve.

Medical errors are another common cause of personal injury in the Bronx, where hospitals like Montefiore Medical Center, Lincoln Medical Center, and St. Barnabas Hospital serve thousands of patients every day. If you’ve suffered due to a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or other forms of medical negligence, our attorneys are here to help. We also handle cases involving birth injuries, such as cerebral palsy or other complications resulting from improper care during labor and delivery.

Our team understands the complexities of medical malpractice law and has successfully obtained compensation for clients who were harmed by healthcare professionals’ mistakes. We work with medical experts to build a strong case and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries. This year, a $15,607,250 wrongful death settlement was obtained by our attorneys in Bronx County for a 49-year-old nurse who passed away due to medical malpractice involving the failure to diagnose and treat a chronic abdominal infection following bariatric surgery. This negligence led to a massive stroke, resulting in the nurse's death. The decedent is survived by a disabled husband and three minor children. Also in 2024, our Bronx personal injury attorneys secured a $10 million settlement in Bronx County for a 19-year-old woman who suffered a severe asthma attack. The emergency department doctors failed to provide timely and appropriate treatment, resulting in cardiac arrest and a catastrophic brain injury due to oxygen deprivation, leaving her permanently disabled.

Nursing home abuse is a tragic but all-too-common issue affecting some of the most vulnerable members of our community. Our attorneys are committed to holding negligent nursing homes and caregivers accountable for abuse and neglect that results in physical, emotional, or financial harm. Whether it involves inadequate medical care, unsanitary living conditions, or outright physical or emotional abuse, our team has the experience and resources to seek justice for Bronx families. Protecting your loved ones and securing their dignity is our top priority.

Fires and explosions can cause catastrophic injuries, especially in densely populated apartment buildings in the Bronx. Faulty installations, defective appliances, and building code violations are often to blame for these tragic incidents.

Our firm secured a $10.725 million settlement for victims of an apartment fire in the Bronx caused by the improper installation of a new stove. The fire resulted in severe burns and smoke inhalation injuries, leaving the tenants with life-long consequences. Our attorneys aggressively pursued the responsible parties, demonstrating that the defective installation directly led to the devastating fire. This case exemplifies our commitment to holding landlords and contractors accountable when their negligence puts Bronx residents at risk.

In another case, our firm represented a teen violinist who suffered severe burn injuries in a botch class lab experiment

Bronx residents frequently suffer injuries from accidents on poorly maintained sidewalks, commercial establishments, or public spaces. The aging infrastructure in neighborhoods like Morrisania, Belmont, and Hunts Point often leads to hazards such as cracked sidewalks, broken stairs, and poor lighting. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain their premises, and our attorneys have successfully held them accountable when their negligence results in serious injuries.

Our firm is well-versed in handling premises liability claims, such as accidents in NYCHA (New York City Housing Authority) buildings. We have represented clients who were injured due to landlord negligence, such as faulty elevators and inadequate security. We are committed to protecting tenants' rights and ensuring that landlords and property managers take responsibility for unsafe conditions.

The Bronx is experiencing a construction boom, particularly in areas like the South Bronx, Port Morris, and Melrose. Unfortunately, with this growth comes an increase in construction site accidents. Our attorneys have a thorough understanding of New York’s Labor Laws, including Labor Law 240 (the Scaffold Law), which protects construction workers injured due to falls, scaffolding collapses, or other height-related accidents.

We have a proven track record of securing significant settlements and verdicts for injured construction workers. Whether your injury was caused by defective equipment, a lack of safety measures, or negligence by a contractor, our attorneys will aggressively pursue compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

For example, we recently secured:

• A $1.2 million settlement for a 50-year-old brick mason who sustained a fractured heel after falling approximately 15 feet when the scaffolding he was working on collapsed.
•  A $1.2 million settlement for a hard hat who sustained a fractured talus after falling from a ladder at a Bronx Construction site.

These cases highlight our firm’s in-depth understanding of New York’s construction safety laws, such as Labor Law 240 (the Scaffold Law), which protects workers from height-related injuries. Our attorneys navigated the complexities of this case, holding the responsible parties accountable for failing to ensure a safe work environment.

Injuries caused by defective products can have life-altering consequences. Our Bronx personal injury lawyers are experienced in product liability cases, whether you were injured by a malfunctioning household appliance, a defective car part, or a hazardous children's toy. We have the resources to hold manufacturers and sellers accountable when their products cause harm.

We are also familiar with cases involving dangerous pharmaceuticals or defective medical devices. Our attorneys will thoroughly investigate your case to prove that the product was unreasonably dangerous and caused your injuries.

In a recent case, we obtained a $2 million settlement for a 9-year-old boy from the Bronx who tragically lost sight in one eye due to a defective toy mirror. The glass portion of the toy became dislodged from its plastic housing, striking the child’s eye and causing permanent blindness. We demonstrated that the product was defectively constructed, leading to this life-changing injury.

In another case, we secured a $1 million settlement for a laborer who lost two fingers while using a defective mattress pad cutter. Despite the defendants' arguments that our client was negligent and that the machine had been substantially modified by his employer, we successfully proved that the product was inherently dangerous.

With more than a century of experience, our firm has a proven track record of obtaining some of the highest verdicts and settlements in New York. We are familiar with the courts in the Bronx and have the resources and expertise to take on complex personal injury cases. Our attorneys are known for being aggressive trial lawyers who will not hesitate to go to court if the insurance company’s settlement offer is too low.
