NYC Leaders In Construction Accident Cases
Construction accident claims make up a significant portion of our caseload. Construction workers have special legal protections in New York, and few lawyers understand these protections as we do.

We can help you get the answers you need to questions like:

New York’s Premier Construction Accident And Personal Injury Lawyers Are Here to Help You
If you’re considering pursuing a personal injury claim, it’s a good idea to ask questions about the the personal injury claims process and the NYC personal injury attorneys you’re considering using. We hope you’ll put your trust in us – but whichever law firm you choose, the following questions will help you make sure you’re getting world-class representation.
What kinds of personal injury cases can you help with?
Our experience in the personal injury field is second-to-none. We have successfully represented accident victims following:
- Construction accidents
- Car accidents and other motor vehicle accidents (including truck, train, cycle, and bus accidents)
- Medical malpractice
- Premises liability accidents
- Uber and ride share accidents and incidents
- Municipal liability accidents
- Dog bites and other animal attacks
- Sexual harrassment and sexual assault incidents
- Product liability cases
Of course, these broad categories cover more specific incidents. For instance, a medical malpractice lawsuit might focus specifically on an incorrect diagnosis – or a construction accident claim could relate to a fall from scaffolding. However your injury has happened, an experienced personal injury attorney will investigate and fight for financial compensation for you.
Can you help with wrongful death cases?
Yes, we can. Tragically, some of the people we represent have lost loved ones as a result of someone else’s negligence or ignorance. In some other cases, the people we represent have later lost their lives as a result of a severe personal injury.
Although we’re proud to aggressively pursue justice for everyone we represent, you’ll quickly see that we’re a warm and compassionate team of people who care deeply about our clients.
We can’t fill the hole that a lost loved one leaves behind – but we will do everything in our power to make sure that financial worries don’t stand in the way of being able to grieve and support your family.
What kinds of injuries have you successfully won compensation for?
As you can imagine, the wide-range of personal injury lawsuits we pursue means an equally wide-range of injuries.
Recent cases have included:
- Broken bones
- Traumatic brain injury
- Serious injury to the back and spine
- Burns as a result of a motor vehicle accident
- Paralysis following a fall
- A life-limiting birth injury
Whatever your injury, our personal injury law firm will almost certainly have had experience with similar claims. What’s more – we can look far beyond the immediate injury and fight to recover compensation for damages that can stretch long into the future.
How much does it cost to bring a New York personal injury claim?
At Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C. we operate on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis. For you, this means being able to focus on recovery – rather than trying to find upfront costs for your New York personal injury lawsuit.
Importantly though, ‘no win, no fee’ also means something else. It means the experienced personal injury lawyers you choose are going to fight as hard as they can – because both yours and their future depends on it.
When we sit down for a free case evaluation, we’ll explain exactly how our fees work. We’ll agree a percentage of your settlement that will cover our costs – and if we don’t win, you won’t be charged a cent.
What kinds of damages do you pursue compensation for?
“Damages” is the term used to describe the impact that the consequences of your accident have had on your life.
Some of these damages are considered “economic” – meaning they directly affect your finances. The kinds of economic damages we’ll fight for compensation for may include:
- Medical expenses
- Costs of future support or rehabilitation
- Lost wages
- Potential missed future opportunities
- The costs of damage property
- Funeral and burial expenses
Of course, the impact of an injury can’t always be calculated based on receipts or pay stubs – so we’ll also explore “non-economic” damages. These may include:
- The injury itself
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- The loss of companionship
- On-going physical impairment
- Reputation damage
- The loss of the enjoyment of life
You can rest assured that we’ll never simply work off a list when it comes to your personal injury case though. Instead, we’ll get to know you, we’ll talk about your injuries, we’ll consult medical experts, and we’ll think about the future – so we can pursue the compensation you deserve.
Can your New York City law firm take on big insurance companies?
We can – and we do it everyday. Personal injury litigation involves standing up to some of the biggest companies in the world. We do it so you don’t have to.
An insurance company will often contact you soon after your accident, representing their client. They’ll be friendly, they’ll appear helpful, and they’ll often talk about getting you a settlement as quickly as possible. Don’t be fooled though, their job is to minimize or void your New York personal injury case – reducing their losses.
We’ll handle a defendant’s insurance coverage provider entirely. Sometimes we’ll be able to reach a settlement – but if we don’t, we’ll face them in court and fight hard to get you compensation and justice.
What happens at a free consultation with Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C?
When we meet, we always start by listening. Your story and your case are unique – so we’ll take the time to discuss it, ask questions, and hear about the impact your injuries have had on your life. It might take 10 minutes – it might take an hour – but you’ll never be rushed, and you’ll never have to deal with legal jargon.
We’re proud to create trusting attorney/client relationships. Here, you’re never just a case number – you’re a real person who’s valued. As such, you can expect regular updates on your case and a direct line to the attorney working on your behalf.
