Brooklyn Personal Injury Lawyer
Home »
Accidents happen without warning. One moment everything is ordinary — the next, you’re dealing with medical bills, missed work, and a physical recovery that could take months or even years. If you were injured in Brooklyn due to someone else’s negligence, you have the right to hold that party accountable.
At The Rozhik Law Firm, we represent Brooklyn accident victims with the dedication and personalized attention that large, impersonal firms simply can’t offer. We know the streets, courts, and insurance tactics of New York — and we put that knowledge to work for you.
Injured in Brooklyn? Act Quickly.
New York law imposes strict time limits on personal injury claims. Waiting too long can permanently bar you from recovering the compensation you deserve. Call us at (917) 567-1963 for a free, no-obligation case review — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Why Choose The Rozhik Law Firm After a Brooklyn Accident
When you’re weighing your legal options after an accident, the firm you choose matters enormously. Insurance companies have vast legal departments and adjusters whose sole job is to minimize what they pay you. You need someone equally tenacious on your side.
The Rozhik Law Firm was built on the belief that every injured client deserves a lawyer who listens, communicates clearly, and never stops fighting. Here is what sets us apart:
We Come to You
Injured and unable to travel? Our team will come directly to you — at home, a hospital, or wherever is most convenient — to review your case at no charge.
Real Communication
We answer our phones and return calls. You’ll always know where your case stands. We consider transparent communication a core ethical obligation — not a luxury.
No Fee Unless We Win
We handle personal injury cases on a contingency basis. That means zero upfront costs, and no attorney fees at all unless we recover compensation for you.
Full-Service Legal Team
We work with industry experts, private investigators, and medical professionals to build the strongest possible case on your behalf.
What Is a Personal Injury Claim in New York?
A personal injury claim is a legal action that allows someone who has been harmed through another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct to seek financial compensation. In New York, victims are entitled to pursue compensation for their economic losses — such as medical expenses and lost earnings — as well as non-economic damages like pain and suffering and diminished quality of life.
Most personal injury claims are resolved through negotiations with an insurance company before any formal trial takes place. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, The Rozhik Law Firm is fully prepared to take your case before a Brooklyn jury. Our goal is always to recover the full value of your claim — not a discounted figure that lets an insurer off the hook cheaply.
New York follows a pure comparative fault rule, which means that even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you may still recover damages — just reduced proportionally. Insurance companies frequently try to exaggerate your share of blame to reduce their payout. We know how to counter those tactics.

No matter how complex your injuries, our team will work with the right medical and financial experts to document the full extent of the harm you’ve suffered — today and in the future.
Time Limits to File Your Brooklyn Injury Claim
Know Your Deadlines
New York law sets strict filing deadlines for personal injury claims. Missing these deadlines typically forfeits your right to compensation forever. Key timeframes include:
- General Personal Injury (e.g., car accident, slip and fall): 3 years from the date of injury
- Medical Malpractice: 2.5 years (30 months) from the date of the negligent act
- Claims Against NYC or MTA (buses, subways): You must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the accident before pursuing a lawsuit
- Wrongful Death: 2 years from the date of death
Certain exceptions can pause these clocks — for example, when the injured party is a minor or is mentally incapacitated. An attorney at our firm can review your specific circumstances and make sure every deadline is met without issue.
How a Negligence Case Works
The vast majority of personal injury claims in Brooklyn are built on the legal theory of negligence. To succeed, we must establish four core elements on your behalf:
Duty of Care
We establish that the defendant had a legal obligation to act reasonably to avoid causing harm — for example, a driver’s duty to follow traffic laws, or a property owner’s duty to keep their premises safe.
Breach of Duty
We show that the defendant failed to meet the required standard of care — through action, inaction, or recklessness that a reasonable person would not have engaged in.
Causation
We connect the defendant’s breach directly to your injuries, establishing that the harm you suffered was a foreseeable result of their negligence — not a pre-existing condition or unrelated event.
Damages
We quantify and document every category of harm you suffered — physical, financial, and emotional — to support the full value of your compensation claim.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
Insurance companies use sophisticated formulas and legal teams to minimize what accident victims receive. Our attorneys understand exactly how claims are valued — and we fight to ensure you receive fair compensation across every applicable category of damages:
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation
Medical Equipment & Devices
Diminished Earning Capacity
Pain & Suffering
Loss of Enjoyment of Life
Property Damage
Ongoing & Future Medical Care
Prescription Medications
Lost Wages & Income
In-Home Care & Assistance
Emotional Distress
Permanent Disfigurement
Wrongful Death Damages
