New York City Injury Lawsuit Attorneys

Last updated on December 10, 2024

Did you know you may hold a government entity liable for injuries arising from negligence? That means you may be entitled to substantial financial compensation.

At Alpert, Slobin & Rubenstein, LLP, we have represented many victims in the Bronx and across New York, securing millions in recovery on their behalf.

  • $3,200,000: Against a Nassau County municipality
  • $2,500,000: Against the State of New York
  • $2,850,000: Against the New York City Transit Authority

Our multilingual team can analyze your case and develop a strategy that maximizes your injury award.

Eligibility For Compensation

You may have grounds to sue if you were harmed on city-owned property due to negligent or hazardous conditions. However, strict deadlines apply. You must:

  • File a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the accident.
  • File your lawsuit within one year and 90 days from the incident date.

Missing these deadlines can jeopardize your right to obtain compensation.

Types Of Cases That Can Be Brought Against New York City

We handle a broad spectrum of injury cases against the New York city, including:

  • Slips and falls on poorly maintained walkways
  • Accidents involving city-owned vehicles
  • Injuries from falling tree limbs or other government property defects
  • Injuries caused by negligent city employees

Each case is unique, and the circumstances surrounding your injury determine the strength of your claim.

Do You Need A Lawyer When Suing New York City?

It is extremely risky to sue a government organization without an experienced attorney. The legal process is complex, and the city has influential attorneys working to minimize payouts. Without proper representation, you risk:

  • Missing critical deadlines
  • Failing to gather essential evidence
  • Undervaluing your claim
  • Being outmaneuvered by an experienced opposing party

With over 100 years of combined experience, we are uniquely positioned to guide you through this challenging legal process.
