What Is a Personal Injury Lawyer?
A personal injury lawyer is your legal advocate when someone else’s negligence causes you harm. In a city as fast-paced and unpredictable as New York City, injuries happen every day—on sidewalks, in traffic, on job sites, and even in hospitals. If you’re facing medical expenses, lost income, and emotional distress caused by an accident, a qualified attorney can help you navigate the legal process and fight for fair compensation.
How We Help Injury Victims
As experienced NYC personal injury attorneys, we investigate what happened, gather evidence, build a compelling case, and negotiate with insurance companies to make sure you’re not shortchanged. If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we’re fully prepared to take your personal injury case to trial.
Common Cases We Handle Include:
- Motor vehicle accidents like car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, and Uber/Lyft collisions.

Our Personal Injury Legal Process
We understand that pursuing a personal injury lawsuit in New York City can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re already dealing with physical injuries, emotional distress, and mounting medical bills. That’s why we guide you through every step of the legal process with clear communication and honest advice. Here’s what to expect when you work with us:
1. Free Consultation & Case Evaluation
It all starts with a free consultation. You’ll speak directly with Michael J. Redenburg, not a case manager. We’ll review the facts of your situation, explain your legal options, and determine whether you have a valid personal injury claim. This is also your opportunity to ask questions—no pressure, no obligation.
2. Thorough Investigation
We leave no stone unturned. Our team will:
- Gather police reports, photos, and video footage
- Interview witnesses
- Analyze medical records
- Consult with experts (such as accident reconstructionists or medical professionals)
This detailed process helps us build a strong foundation for your personal injury litigation.
3. Negotiation with Insurance Companies
Most cases settle before trial. We handle all communications with insurance companies, shielding you from lowball offers and pressure tactics. Our goal is to secure a fair settlement that reflects your total damages—medical expenses, lost wages, and more.
4. Litigation & Trial Preparation
If the insurer refuses to offer what your case is truly worth, we’re ready to go to court. As an experienced trial attorney, Michael Redenburg prepares every case as if it will be tried before a judge or jury. This often leads to better settlement outcomes, but we’re never afraid to take a case the distance.
5. Maximizing Compensation
We fight to recover everything you’re entitled to under New York law, including:
- Past and future medical bills
- Lost income and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional pain and physical trauma
- Costs related to catastrophic injuries or long-term care
Our priority is helping you seek compensation that truly supports your recovery—not just what the insurance company is willing to pay.
Why Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in NYC?
Navigating a personal injury case in New York City isn’t easy. Between the dense traffic, complex insurance rules, and legal deadlines, even a simple claim can quickly become complicated. That’s where an experienced NYC personal injury attorney can make all the difference.
Understanding New York’s Legal System
New York personal injury law includes strict statutes of limitations, comparative fault rules, and detailed filing procedures. If you miss a deadline or fail to submit proper documentation, your entire case could be at risk. An experienced attorney knows how to keep your claim on track.
Protecting You from Insurance Companies
Insurance companies are not on your side. Their goal is to protect their bottom line—not to offer fair compensation for your injuries sustained. When you work with us, we take over all communication with the insurance companies to ensure you’re not pressured into accepting a low settlement.
The Power of an Advocate
Working with a lawyer increases your chances of a better outcome. In fact, injury victims represented by attorneys typically receive significantly higher settlements. Our firm has recovered substantial verdicts and settlements across motor vehicle accidents, construction accidents, fall accidents, medical malpractice claims, and more.
With our help, you can focus on healing while we handle the legal battle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for personal injury in NYC?
Under New York law, most personal injury claims must be filed within three years of the date of the accident. However, some cases—like medical malpractice lawsuits or claims against the city—have shorter deadlines. Don’t wait to get legal advice. We offer a free case evaluation to help you understand your timeline.
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?
At our firm, there are no upfront fees. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay unless we win your case. Our payment comes from a percentage of the compensation we recover for you—no surprises, no hidden costs.
What should I do after an accident?
Your health comes first. Seek medical attention immediately, even if your injuries seem minor. Then:
- Document the scene (photos, witness contacts, police reports)
- Avoid giving detailed statements to insurance companies
- Contact a qualified personal injury attorney to protect your rights
What compensation can I recover?
You may be entitled to recover:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Compensation for catastrophic injuries or permanent disability
We pursue all available damages to ensure you receive fair compensation for both your economic and non-economic losses.
How long will my case take?
Every personal injury case is different. Some settle within months, while others—especially those involving serious injury, disputed liability, or medical malpractice—may take over a year. We move efficiently while never compromising your potential settlement.
What if I was partially at fault?
New York follows a comparative negligence rule. That means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault—as long as you weren’t 100% responsible. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
