Bronx Personal Injury Lawyer
Bronx Personal Injury Lawyer
Our Bronx personal injury lawyer helps injured people and families across the borough—from Riverdale and Kingsbridge to Fordham, Mott Haven, and Throggs Neck—after serious accidents, medical malpractice, and nursing home neglect.
Serving Clients Across the Bronx
Personal Injury Representation Throughout the Bronx
The Bronx is crisscrossed by major highways, busy intersections, construction zones, and large hospitals—conditions that can turn dangerous when people and companies cut corners on safety. Whether you were hit on the Cross Bronx Expressway, injured as a pedestrian near the Grand Concourse, hurt on the subway, or harmed by malpractice or neglect at a Bronx hospital or nursing home, our firm is ready to help.
We represent clients from neighborhoods across the Bronx, including Riverdale, Kingsbridge, Marble Hill, Fordham, Belmont, Morris Heights, Highbridge, Tremont, Hunts Point, Port Morris, Mott Haven, Parkchester, Soundview, Pelham Parkway, and Throggs Neck. As an NYC personal injury attorney handling cases in all five boroughs, Jesse understands how Bronx courts, insurers, and defense firms approach these claims and shapes strategy accordingly.
Our office is based in Brooklyn, but Bronx cases are a regular part of our practice. We’re a quick drive or train ride away, and we also meet by phone or video when travel is difficult after an injury.
Types of Bronx Accident & Injury Cases We Handle
We focus on serious injury and negligence cases arising in the Bronx, including:
Car, Truck, Taxi & Rideshare Accidents
Crashes on the Cross Bronx, Major Deegan, Bruckner Expressway, Bronx River Parkway, and local streets. We represent drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians injured by careless or reckless motorists, including taxi, Uber, and Lyft collisions.
Pedestrian & Bicycle Injuries
The Bronx has heavily used crosswalks, bike lanes, and bus routes. We handle cases where drivers fail to yield, speed through lights, turn without checking the crosswalk, or otherwise put walkers and cyclists at risk.
Slip, Trip & Fall / Premises Liability
Falls in apartment buildings, supermarkets, bodegas, parking lots, and sidewalks throughout the Bronx—often caused by broken stairs, wet floors, snow and ice, poor lighting, loose handrails, or other hazardous conditions that property owners failed to fix.
Bronx Medical Malpractice
Negligent care at Bronx hospitals, clinics, and doctor’s offices, including misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and birth injuries. If you’re searching for a Bronx medical malpractice lawyer, we can help you evaluate whether a poor outcome was a known risk or a preventable medical error.
Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect in Bronx Facilities
Cases involving bedsores, falls, infections, dehydration, malnutrition, or other neglect in Bronx nursing homes and rehab centers, as well as physical, emotional, or sexual abuse of vulnerable residents. These often overlap with our elder abuse practice.
Sexual Assault & Abuse Cases
Civil claims for survivors of sexual assault and abuse in Bronx residential buildings, workplaces, schools, care facilities, or other settings—often involving both individual perpetrators and negligent institutions.
Not sure if your situation fits? We’re happy to talk through what happened and point you in the right direction.
Why Work with Our Bronx Injury Lawyer
Why Bronx Clients Choose Our Firm
1. NYC Trial Experience, Borough-Wide Practice
We handle serious injury, medical malpractice, nursing home, and abuse cases throughout New York City—including the Bronx. Our trial-ready approach tells insurers and defense counsel we’re willing and able to go to court when a fair settlement isn’t offered.
2. Focus on Serious Injuries and Complex Cases
We’re not a high-volume settlement mill. We concentrate on significant injuries and complex negligence claims, which allows us to dig deeper into the facts, work closely with experts, and build stronger cases for clients who truly need that level of attention.
3. Straightforward, Responsive Communication
We explain your options in clear language and keep you updated as your Bronx injury case moves forward. You’ll know what’s happening, what we recommend, and why—so you can make informed decisions at each step.
4. No Fee Unless We Recover Compensation
For personal injury, malpractice, nursing home, and sexual assault injury cases, we typically work on a contingency fee basis: you don’t pay attorney’s fees unless we secure a settlement or verdict for you. We explain fees and costs upfront so there are no surprises.
5. Flexible Meetings for Bronx Residents
Travel can be hard after an injury. We offer phone and video consultations and, when appropriate, can arrange hospital or home visits for seriously injured Bronx clients. Our goal is to make getting legal help as easy as possible while you focus on healing.
Bronx Personal Injury FAQ
I was injured in the Bronx but live somewhere else. Can you still represent me?
Yes. In most cases, where the accident or malpractice happened matters more than where you live. If the incident occurred in the Bronx, we can generally bring your case in a New York court and represent you whether you live in another borough, elsewhere in New York, or out of state.
Do I need a Bronx personal injury lawyer “near me,” or is your Brooklyn office close enough?
You don’t need a firm on your exact block. We regularly represent people injured in the Bronx from our Brooklyn office, using phone and video meetings whenever helpful. What matters most is experience with NYC personal injury cases, responsiveness, and whether you feel comfortable with your attorney—not the ZIP code on the door.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim for a Bronx accident?
New York has strict statutes of limitations for personal injury, medical malpractice, nursing home neglect, and wrongful death, along with shorter notice-of-claim rules for cases involving the City or other public entities. Because these timelines can be unforgiving, it’s important to speak with a lawyer as soon as reasonably possible after an injury.
Will my Bronx case go to trial or settle?
Many cases settle before trial, but there’s no guarantee. We prepare every case as if it could be tried in Bronx court—collecting evidence, consulting experts, and building a compelling story—so we’re ready for trial if needed and negotiating from a position of strength if settlement makes sense.
What does it cost to talk with you about a Bronx injury case?
Initial consultations for personal injury, malpractice, nursing home, and sexual assault cases are free. If we accept your case, there are no attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation for you. We’ll go over how contingency fees and case costs work in detail during your consultation.
Part of my medical care happened in Manhattan or another borough. Does that matter?
Many cases involve treatment or related events in multiple boroughs. We sort out venue (where to file), which defendants may be responsible, and how to best position your claim. The key is reaching out early so we can investigate while records and other evidence are still available.
