Personal Injury Attorneys in Manhattan

NYC Legal Help

Manhattan is fast-paced, crowded, and full of hazards—whether you’re navigating busy intersections in Midtown, working on a construction site in Lower Manhattan, or walking down icy sidewalks in the Upper East Side. If you’ve been hurt here due to someone else’s negligence, our Manhattan personal injury lawyers are ready to fight for your rights. We’ve spent decades helping New Yorkers recover compensation after serious accidents, and we know what it takes to win in the city’s toughest courts.

What Makes Manhattan Personal Injury Cases Unique

Manhattan cases often move faster and involve more complex factors than those in quieter parts of the state. High foot traffic, constant construction, and dense roadways mean there are often multiple parties involved—from property owners to city agencies. We’re experienced in uncovering every liable party, whether your injury happened on the FDR, in a Times Square hotel, or on a crumbling sidewalk in SoHo.

Common Injuries in Manhattan: From Car Crash on FDR Drive to Fall in Penn Station

We represent victims injured in a wide range of accidents, including:


  • Vehicle collisions involving cars, buses, taxis, and rideshare drivers
  • Slip, trip, and fall accidents in subway stations, stores, and sidewalks
  • Construction injuries under New York Labor Law 240/241
  • Pedestrian and cyclist accidents in bike lanes or crosswalks
  • Premises liability claims for unsafe building conditions

Our Approach Across Neighborhoods: Financial District, East Village, SoHo

Every Manhattan neighborhood comes with its own challenges and resources for building a strong case. In the Financial District, we’ve secured surveillance footage from corporate building lobbies to prove liability. In the East Village, we’ve tracked down witnesses at corner stores. From SoHo loft buildings to the Upper West Side’s brownstones, our team knows how to gather evidence quickly before it disappears.

How We Build Your Case

We don’t just file paperwork—we investigate thoroughly. That means pulling traffic camera footage, speaking to eyewitnesses, hiring medical experts, and analyzing maintenance or safety logs from property owners. Whether your injury happened at a well-known landmark or in a smaller neighborhood business, we work to connect the dots between the negligence and your damages.

Two speech bubbles, one with a question mark.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in NYC?

    In most New York personal injury cases, you have three years from the date of the accident. If a city or state agency is involved, you may need to file a notice of claim within 90 days.

  • Can I still sue if I was partially at fault?

    Yes. Under New York’s comparative negligence rule, you can recover damages even if you share some blame—your award will simply be reduced by your percentage of fault.

  • Do you handle cases outside Manhattan?

    Absolutely. While we have a strong focus on Manhattan, we also serve clients throughout all five boroughs and Long Island.
