Manhattan, NY Personal Injury Lawyers

Experienced Manhattan Personal Injury Lawyers Committed to Safeguarding Accident Victims’ Rights Throughout NY

For most accident victims, the prospect of negotiating with insurance companies and navigating the personal injury recovery process in Manhattan courts is daunting—and unfortunately often leads to victims accepting lowball insurance settlements to get immediate financial relief.  Although we know it is tempting to accept the insurance check and try to move on, in many cases the financial relief provided will be short-lived and you could quickly find yourself facing additional expenses that you never anticipated. 

This is why we have dedicated our practice to advocating for all accident victims who have sustained injuries because of someone else’s carelessness. Our track record of success shows that having the best lawyer possible on your side can make all the difference in winning a compensation award designed to protect both your current and future financial security.

Our Multi-Faceted Personal Injury Practice in Manhattan, NY

At Proner & Proner, our personal injury attorneys have the legal experience, knowledge, and tenacity needed to effectively take on insurance companies and defense attorneys in your case.  Our lawyers in New York established our successful practice more than half a century ago and we have spent that time fighting for accident victims’ rights in Manhattan and throughout New York.  Our legal firm can help you recover compensation if you have sustained personal injuries because of:

• Manhattan Car Accidents.  Negligent drivers cause accidents on a daily basis on the often-congested streets of Manhattan, and they should be held financially responsible for their actions—and you may be entitled to compensation beyond what your own insurance carrier provides.
• Manhattan Bus Accidents. In bus or school bus accident cases, identifying the responsible party as quickly as possible is crucial for
  protecting your rights.
• Manhattan Taxi Accidents.  If you have been injured in a taxi cab accident in Manhattan, whether as a passenger or otherwise, our
  attorneys are here to assist you.
• Manhattan Train Accidents. Train wrecks are accidents which occur when a moving train strikes another train on the same track, or when a train wheel jumps off a track, resulting in a derailment. 
• Manhattan Subway Accidents.  Accidents involving government-operated entities can be more complicated than those solely involving private actors, but our skilled personal injury attorneys have the resources necessary to effectively handle these cases.
• Manhattan Bicycle Accidents. Bike accidents can result in injuries that are much more serious because the bicyclist will take the brunt of the impact. 
• Manhattan Uber Accidents.  Accidents involving ride-sharing services such as Uber can also involve specialized insurance requirements designed to ensure victims are appropriately compensated.  Our lawyers will fight to get you the maximum compensation available.
• Manhattan Slip & Fall Accidents. If you were injured in a slip and fall accident that happened on someone else’s property, the property owner may be responsible for compensating you for your injuries. 
• Manhattan Construction Accidents.  The island of Manhattan is no stranger to construction projects, but these construction sites present significant dangers that often cause personal injury both for workers and pedestrians simply walking by.
• Manhattan Medical Malpractice.  When a medical professional’s negligent treatment causes or worsens your injury, you have the right to hold them financially accountable for any resulting harm.
• Manhattan Workers’ Compensation. Whether you were injured in a work accident or developed a long-term occupational disease because of conditions at work, you are likely entitled to New York workers’ compensation benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Manhattan

FAQ: What is the general time period for filing a personal injury lawsuit?  

In most cases, you must file a personal injury lawsuit in Manhattan within three years of the date the accident took place.  This “statute of limitations” can be extended or shortened based upon any number of circumstances, so contact our lawyers as soon as possible to ensure all deadlines are met.

FAQ: Will I have to go to court to get compensation for a personal injury?  

Our lawyers are actually able to successfully resolve many cases without resorting to a formal trial.  Even if you have attempted to resolve your claim independently and found the insurance companies unwilling to negotiate, once a reputable lawyer becomes involved, the insurance company and defense attorneys often become much more willing to engage in reasonable negotiation.  We will present all evidence in your case in the most compelling light possible to attempt to resolve your case without the added time and expense of a trial so that you can get the compensation you need as quickly as possible.
