Personal Injury Lawyers Who Take Your Case to Trial If That's What It Takes
When you've been hurt, you need attorneys who know the courtroom, not just the conference room. We've spent more than three decades fighting for injured New Yorkers — and we're ready to fight for you.
Honest Case Evaluations — No Inflated Promises
30+
Years of Trial Experience
Serious Injuries Deserve Serious Legal Representation
When an accident turns your life upside down, the insurance company's first priority is protecting their bottom line — not yours. At The Paris Law Group, we've spent more than 30 years on the plaintiff side of New York personal injury law, which means we understand exactly how insurers think and exactly how to counter it.
Founder Jason Paris has tried hundreds of cases to verdict. Our team includes multiple attorneys and two to three paralegals working every file — not a single lawyer with a paralegal assistant buried under a caseload. You get a firm that's built for litigation, not just settlement volume.
We serve injured workers, drivers, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders, and families who have lost someone — across Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island, Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
How We Handle Your Case from Day One
Free Case Evaluation
We review the facts of your accident, explain what your claim is worth based on honest analysis, and tell you whether we're the right firm for your case. No pressure. No inflated promises.
Build Your File with a Full Team
From the moment you retain us, multiple attorneys and dedicated paralegals are assigned to your case. We gather evidence, secure medical records, identify all liable parties, and connect you with the right specialists through our extensive referral network.
Negotiate Hard — and Try If We Have to
We push for maximum value at every stage. If the insurance company won't pay what your case is worth, we take it to trial. That credibility is why 99% of prospects who meet with us after speaking with another firm choose to retain us.
Practice Areas — Construction, Car Accidents, Premises Liability, and More
New York personal injury cases are not all the same. A construction worker hurt on a scaffolding job has different legal protections than a driver rear-ended on the LIE. We handle the full range of serious injury cases across the five boroughs as well as Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk Counties, with particular depth in the areas that carry the highest stakes.
Construction workers injured on the job may have claims under New York Labor Law §240 and §241(6) — powerful statutes that place strict liability on property owners and general contractors. If you were hurt on a job site, it is vitally important to hire an attorney as quickly as possible to ensure that an investigation can begin right away
If you were hurt in a motor vehicle accident, the 30-day no-fault filing deadline and other time-sensitive requirements make early legal contact critical.
Transit riders hurt on MTA buses or the subway, as well as pedestrians injured on a street or sidewalk face a 90-day Notice of Claim deadline that most people don't know about until it's too late. We handle those filings as a matter of course.
Representing Injured New Yorkers in the 5 Boroughs and Surrounding Areas
Our personal injury practice covers every neighborhood — from the Bronx and Brooklyn through Manhattan and Queens, to Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester.
If you were hurt or need a personal injury lawyer our team is close by and ready to help.
What Our Clients Say
Two Deadlines That Can End Your Case Before It Starts
New York law sets strict time limits that most injured people don't know about until it's too late.
If you were injured in a car accident, you have 30 days to file a no-fault insurance application. Miss that window and you lose access to benefits that cover medical treatment and lost wages regardless of fault.
If you were hurt on an MTA bus, NYC Transit bus, subway, or on a city street or sidewalk you have just 90 days to file a Notice of Claim against the public authority. That deadline is non-negotiable — courts will dismiss cases filed even one day late.
Don't wait to find out which deadlines apply to your case. Contact us today.
Questions Injured New Yorkers Ask Us Most
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in New York?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we recover money for you. You owe us nothing if we don't win your case.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in New York?
The general statute of limitations for personal injury in New York is three years from the date of injury. However, shorter deadlines apply in specific situations — 30 days for no-fault insurance claims after a car accident, and 90 days to file a Notice of Claim if a government entity or public authority like the MTA is involved. There is also a shorter statute of limitations to start a lawsuit against a government entity or public authority. Contact us as soon as possible after your accident.
What makes The Paris Law Group different from other personal injury firms?
We're a trial firm, not a settlement mill. Founder Jason Paris has 30+ years of courtroom experience, and every case is staffed with multiple attorneys and paralegals from day one, and we do what is necessary to make sure early on that every case is well investigated and prepared for a possible trial. We take cases we believe we can win, give you honest case-value assessments, and go to trial when that's what it takes to get you full value.
Do you handle construction accident cases involving Labor Law §240?
Yes. Labor Law §240 — the Scaffold Law — and §241(6) cases are among our most significant practice areas. These statutes provide powerful protections for construction workers injured by falls or falling objects, and they place strict liability on property owners and general contractors. If you were hurt on a New York job site, contact us immediately.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partly at fault for my accident?
In most cases, yes. New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault — but you are not barred from recovering even if you were partially responsible. An attorney can help you understand how fault allocation is likely to affect your specific case.
Attorneys Who Answer When You Call
We know you have choices. What we can offer that most firms can't is a team that picks up — on weekends, late evenings, and by text if that's easier for you. Every client gets a dedicated case line routed to multiple staff members, and Jason Paris and the team are reachable on Saturday nights when most firms are closed.
Reach us by phone, text, email, or video chat — in English, Spanish, or Russian. Your first consultation is always free.
