Car Accident Representation
Our car accident legal services focus on recovering compensation for victims of collisions involving drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. We handle claims related to medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our team investigates liability, negotiates with insurance companies, and prepares cases for trial when necessary. With deep knowledge of NYC traffic laws and court procedures, we ensure clients receive fair compensation for injuries caused by negligent drivers.
Slip and Fall Cases
We represent individuals injured due to hazardous property conditions like wet floors, uneven surfaces, or inadequate security. Our attorneys prove property owner negligence and seek compensation for medical costs and lost income. We conduct thorough investigations, document evidence, and work with safety experts to build strong cases. Our local experience ensures effective navigation of NYC-specific premises liability laws.
Construction Accidents
Our firm advocates for workers injured on construction sites due to safety violations or equipment failures. We pursue claims against contractors, property owners, and insurance companies to cover medical treatment and lost earnings. We leverage OSHA regulations and industry standards to prove negligence, ensuring clients receive full compensation for spinal injuries, fractures, and other serious harm caused by unsafe working conditions.
Wrongful Death Claims
We provide compassionate legal support for families who lost loved ones due to negligence. Our attorneys handle claims for funeral costs, lost financial support, and emotional distress. We investigate medical malpractice, fatal accidents, and other preventable deaths, holding responsible parties accountable. Our goal is to secure financial stability for grieving families while pursuing justice for preventable losses.
Bicycle Accident Claims
We protect cyclists injured by negligent drivers or dangerous road conditions. Our services cover dooring incidents, intersection collisions, and hit-and-run cases. We prove liability using traffic camera footage, witness statements, and accident reconstruction experts. Our local expertise in NYC bike lane regulations ensures effective representation for head injuries, fractures, and other serious cycling-related injuries.

Questions
What should I do immediately after a personal injury accident in NYC?
Seek medical attention, document the scene, exchange information with involved parties, and contact The Orlow Firm for legal guidance within 24 hours to protect your rights.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in New York?
Most cases require filing within three years of the injury date, though government claims need 90-day notice. Consult our attorneys promptly to meet all deadlines.
What types of compensation can I recover for my injuries?
Medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, and property damage. We pursue full compensation for both economic and non-economic losses.
Do I need to pay any fees upfront for legal representation?
No. We work on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we secure compensation for you, typically one-third of the recovery.
How does The Orlow Firm handle insurance company negotiations?
We manage all communications, challenge lowball offers, and leverage our trial-ready approach to maximize settlements while protecting your legal rights.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?
Yes. New York's pure comparative negligence rule allows recovery reduced by your percentage of fault. We work to minimize assigned liability in such cases.
