I am a union construction worker injured on the erection of a high-rise building in Manhattan back in 2016. After the accident, I knew I was going to need legal representation. I found the The Perecman Firm, online and learned that they handle both Workers’ Comp, and 3rd Party cases in-house which I liked. I decided to send a message thru the live chat on their website. I explained the details of my situation, and the first thing the following morning I received a call from Zach Perecman. We spoke for a bit and scheduled an appointment to speak in person. From the minute I entered the firm I could feel it was all business. I was treated like family. I knew before we were even done talking I was going to hire them to represent me in my case. I knew I had someone who wanted to fight for me and get me thru the tuff times ahead, and that is exactly what they did. I did not experience any bumps in the road the entire time. They made sure I was paid my workers’ comp checks on time. All of my doctor appointments were taken care of. My surgery, therapy, medications, everything from soup to nuts was perfect! I can honestly say we didn’t run into one problem (at least that I know about) not to mention the results of my case. They are an amazing team over at The Perecman Firm They are second to none, and would sign for them any day! I would like to personally thank Zach and David Perecman for having such a caring and professional team they assembled at the Firm. Also, I would like to thank Steve Dorfman, Ed Guldi, Louis Benitez, Linda, Silvana, and anyone else I may be forgetting for everything you have done for me and my family! There is no way I could ever repay you all for everything you did but you can be sure it is appreciated! Thank You Again.

Frequently Asked Questions About NYC Personal Injury Claims

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

In New York, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years from the date of the accident. However, this can vary depending on the type of case. For example, wrongful death claims have a 2-year limit, and claims against government entities may have shorter deadlines. Contact an attorney right away to learn of any deadlines that apply to your case so they can file a claim for you on time.

What types of compensation can I recover in a personal injury case?

You may be eligible to recover:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Property damage
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

How much is my personal injury case worth?

The value of your case depends on various factors. These include the severity of your injuries, the long-term impact on your life, liability issues, and available insurance coverage. We can provide a more accurate estimate after thoroughly reviewing your case.

Do I need a lawyer to file a personal injury claim?

Yes, having an experienced personal injury attorney can significantly improve your chances of receiving fair compensation. The Insurance Research Council found that 85% of the money insurance companies pay out in settlements go to people who hire attorneys to handle their personal injury claims. At The Perecman Firm, PLLC, we can handle negotiations, paperwork, and legal complexities on your behalf and fight to help you get maximum compensation.

How much does it cost to hire The Perecman Firm, PLLC?

We work on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case, typically taking a percentage of the settlement or court award.

What should I do immediately after an accident in NYC?

Seek medical attention, report the accident to the police, and gather evidence and witness information if possible. You also need to notify your insurance company. Contact our firm for legal advice before speaking with other parties' insurance companies

Will my case go to trial?

We settle most personal injury cases outside of court. However, we may need to take your case to trial if the insurance company won’t offer a fair settlement or acts in bad faith regarding your claim.

How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

To recover compensation for your injuries, you need an attorney to show the at-fault party caused your injuries or losses due to their carelessness or recklessness and that you suffered compensable damages as a result. Our attorneys will work to hold the other party fully accountable for your suffering and fight to maximize your financial recovery.
