A serious injury changes everything — your ability to work, your daily routine, your family's financial security. If you were hurt in a car accident, on a construction site, or because a property owner ignored a dangerous condition, New York law may entitle you to significant compensation. Kleban Law Group is a boutique personal injury law firm founded in 2014, serving clients across Nassau County, New York City, Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island. We take cases on contingency — you pay nothing out of pocket, and we only collect a fee if we recover money for you.

What is personal injury law in NY?

Personal injury law covers cases where someone else's carelessness causes you harm. In New York, you generally have three years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit — but important exceptions apply. If your injury involves a government agency or municipality, you may have as little as 90 days to file a Notice of Claim. Missing these deadlines can bar your claim entirely, which is why contacting an attorney early matters.

New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule. Even if you were partly at fault — say, you were jaywalking when struck by a car — you can still recover compensation. Your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault, but you don't lose the right to recover entirely. This is one of the most plaintiff-friendly rules in the country.

Practice Areas We Handle

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Car accidents, truck crashes, motorcycle collisions, rideshare incidents, pedestrian knockdowns, and bicycle accidents. New York's no-fault insurance system has specific rules governing when and how you can sue — we'll walk you through them.

Construction Accidents

Falls from scaffolding, falling objects, crane accidents, and Labor Law §240/241 violations. New York's Scaffold Law imposes strict liability on property owners and general contractors — giving injured workers protections that don't exist in most other states.

Slip, Trip & Fall

Wet floors, broken sidewalks, icy parking lots, and defective stairs. If a property owner knew about the hazard and failed to fix it, you may have a strong claim.

Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

Unexplained injuries, bedsores, malnutrition, and medication errors. When a facility fails a vulnerable resident, New York law provides both compensatory and statutory damages.

Construction & Labor Law Injuries

Most New York dog bite cases are covered by the owner's homeowners' insurance. We handle the claim so you can focus on recovering.

Medical Malpractice

When medical care goes wrong, we fight to hold doctors and hospitals accountable.

Wrongful Death

If negligence cost your family a loved one, New York law allows the estate's personal representative to pursue compensation for financial support, funeral costs, and pain suffered before death.

Motorcycle, Pedestrian & bicyclist accidents

How We Get Paid — No Upfront Cost

We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney's fees upfront. We advance the costs of investigating and litigating your case. If we recover money for you, we collect a percentage of that recovery as our fee. If we don't win, you owe us nothing. The contingency model aligns our interests with yours — we only get paid when you do.

What to Do After an Injury in New York

Seek medical attention immediately — even if you feel okay. Some serious injuries aren't apparent right away, and a gap in care can be used against you later.
Document everything. Photograph the scene, your injuries, and any hazard that caused the accident.
Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking to a lawyer. Adjusters are trained to minimize claims.
Save all evidence. Don't repair damaged property until it's been documented.
Get witness contact information if anyone saw what happened.
Call a personal injury attorney as early as possible. Deadlines in New York are strict.
