This is a 2026 list of New York personal injury law firms across the five boroughs, Long Island, the Hudson Valley and upstate. Every firm also represents injured people on the plaintiff side. We grouped them by borough and region and built a county finder, so you can see which firms have an office near you.
The 25 New York personal injury law firms below each have at least one active New York office, represent injured people on the plaintiff side, work on contingency, and have a public record you can check with the New York State Unified Court System. Together, they have offices in all five boroughs, on Long Island, in the Hudson Valley and upstate.
In other words, this is a list of New York personal injury lawyers and attorneys, organized by the firms they work for. Each firm's attorneys also represent injured people on the plaintiff side.
Onal Injury Law publishes this page and is listed first. However, the numbers are only there to help you move around the page. As a result, they are not a ranking, and no firm paid to be included.
However, this page covers general injury firms. For some cases, a page built around that case type is more useful, because the firms and the rules differ.
We grouped the New York personal injury law firms by where their main offices are, because most people start close to home. Each entry also uses only facts the firm publishes about itself, such as office locations, practice focus and languages. In other words, we did not score or rate any firm.
Personal injury attorney John Onal represents people hurt in car, truck, pedestrian and rideshare crashes, falls, workplace accidents and wrongful death cases across New York City and New Jersey. The firm also handles the early New York steps many cases depend on, for example the 30-day no-fault application and any notice of claim.
About our firm: you work directly with your attorney, and the firm represents clients in English, Spanish and Turkish. In addition, our Staten Island and New Jersey offices sit on both sides of the harbor, so a crash that crosses state lines stays with one firm. We also review cases from anywhere in the U.S. and work with locally admitted counsel where a case requires it.
Publisher note: Onal Injury Law also takes Manhattan cases. Consultations happen by phone, video or at our Staten Island office.

This table shows which firms on this list have an office in each borough or county. However, you do not need a firm in your own county. In fact, most injury cases are handled by phone, video and email, and the lawsuit is filed where the law says it belongs.
Office locations also come from each firm's own website as of September 2026. Onal Injury Law's New York office is on Staten Island.
Whichever firm you choose, these rules also shape your claim. However, they are simplified, and your own deadline depends on your facts.
First, most New York negligence lawsuits must be filed within three years. Medical malpractice has two years and six months, and wrongful death has two years from the date of death.
After a car crash, no-fault pays up to $50,000 in medical bills and lost earnings regardless of fault. However, the no-fault application generally must reach the insurer within 30 days.
After a car crash, you can sue for pain and suffering only if the injury meets the "serious injury" definition, for example a fracture or a significant limitation of use.
New York reduces your recovery by your share of fault, with no cutoff. In contrast, New Jersey bars recovery above 50% fault.
The customary fee is one-third of the recovery in a written retainer. Medical malpractice fees also follow a sliding scale: 30% of the first $250,000, then 25%, 20%, 15% and 10% on higher amounts.
Finally, a claim against the City, the MTA or another public entity needs a notice of claim within 90 days, often a 50-h hearing, and a lawsuit within one year and 90 days.
These checks also work for every one of the New York personal injury law firms on this page, including ours.
First, look up the attorney in the New York State Unified Court System's attorney search. It is free and takes a minute.
Also ask whether the attorney you meet will be the one working your case day to day.
Then read the fee terms. In particular, ask whether the one-third is calculated before or after case expenses.
For example, ask who will file the 30-day no-fault application and any 90-day notice of claim.
In other words, ask how many cases the attorney has tried to verdict in recent years.
Finally, compare firms quickly, because the 30-day and 90-day deadlines do not pause while you decide.
First, start with the type of case and where it happened. Then interview two or three firms and compare them on the checks above.
Most injury firms work on contingency, and the customary fee is one-third of the recovery. However, medical malpractice fees follow a sliding scale under Judiciary Law 474-a.
In general, you have three years under CPLR 214. However, a claim against a public entity needs a notice of claim within 90 days.
No. In fact, most cases are handled by phone, video and email. Still, the finder above shows which firms have an office near you.
That can change which benefits, thresholds and deadlines apply. For that reason, a firm with offices in both states can help.
Yes. Several firms on this list offer Spanish, and Onal Injury Law also represents clients in Turkish. Türkçe bilgi için buraya tıklayın.
There is no practical difference. Both terms describe a licensed lawyer who represents injured people. In addition, a law firm is simply the office those lawyers and attorneys work for, which is how this New York list is organized.
We think people choose better when they can compare. That is why we list ourselves first and say so plainly, describe other firms only with facts they publish, and correct any entry a firm asks us to fix.

This list of New York personal injury law firms is published by Onal Injury Law, which appears first and discloses that placement throughout the page. This is a directory, not a ranking, rating, award, endorsement or "best of" designation. In addition, the numbering exists for navigation only. Also, no firm is claimed to be superior to any other firm, listed or not listed. Firms were selected using the stated criteria: an active New York office, plaintiff-side injury work, contingency representation, and a verifiable public record. This list is not the product of an independent rating organization, and no firm paid for, requested or approved inclusion.
This page is general information, is not legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship with Onal Injury Law or any firm listed. Do not act, or decide not to act, based on anything here without advice from an attorney who knows the facts of your situation. In addition, reading this page does not preserve any deadline or right.
Onal Injury Law represents injury clients on a contingency fee, so there is no attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. You may still be responsible for case costs and expenses, even if there is no recovery, as set out in your written fee agreement.
The statutes, deadlines, insurance rules and fee rules summarized here are simplified, were believed accurate when this page was last reviewed, and may have changed. Deadlines also have exceptions that can only be assessed on your specific facts. Therefore, never calculate your own deadline from a web page.
