Types of Injury Cases We Handle in Brooklyn

Brooklyn’s blend of tight streets, dense housing, and active development brings unique injury risks. We handle cases including:

Side-Impact & Intersection Crashes

Common on Atlantic Avenue, Flatbush Ave, and near Barclays Center — often caused by distracted or aggressive drivers.

Pedestrian Knockdowns in Crosswalks

Brooklyn has some of the city's busiest intersections. We represent pedestrians hit in marked and unmarked crossings.

Construction & Scaffold Accidents

From Dumbo to Downtown Brooklyn, rapid development has increased dangerous job site conditions. We fight under NY Labor Law protections.

Can I sue the City of New York?

Yes, but deadlines are tight. Contact us immediately if city property, the MTA, or NYCHA was involved.
