• Bus accidents, taxi accidents, train accidents, and 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.
• Bicycle accidents. bike accidents can result in injuries that are much more serious because the bicyclist will take the brunt of the impact. 
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

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