🏛️

NY County Supreme Court

Manhattan personal injury cases are filed at 60 Centre Street in lower Manhattan — one of the most active personal injury dockets in the country. Our office at 579 5th Avenue is minutes away.

🚶

Pedestrian & Cyclist Density

Manhattan has the highest pedestrian and cyclist density of any borough. Knockdowns at crosswalks, dooring incidents, and delivery vehicle accidents happen constantly. NYC Law §19-190 imposes strict liability on drivers who fail to yield.

🏗️

Midtown Construction Boom

Hudson Yards, the Far West Side, East Midtown, and the Penn Station area are all under massive development. Labor Law §240 protects every worker on every one of these job sites with absolute liability.

🏢

Commercial Property Liability

Manhattan has the highest concentration of commercial property in the world. Department stores, office buildings, hotels, and restaurants all carry significant premises liability exposure when they fail to maintain safe conditions.

🚇

MTA Subway & Bus Accidents

The NYC subway and Manhattan bus routes see millions of riders daily. MTA accidents require a Notice of Claim within 90 days. Platform falls, door closings, and bus accidents all qualify as potential claims against the MTA.

Manhattan Personal Injury
Cases We Take

Manhattan is the most densely populated urban environment in the United States. That density — combined with massive commercial activity, constant construction, heavy vehicle traffic, and millions of daily subway and bus riders — creates a continuous stream of personal injury cases across every category.

Slip and fall cases in Manhattan commercial properties are among the most litigated in New York. Department stores on 5th Avenue, restaurants in Midtown, office buildings in the Financial District — all carry significant liability when they fail to maintain safe premises. Security footage is critical and disappears fast. Call us the same day.

⚠️ Manhattan Government Properties — 90 Days

Accidents on NYC-owned sidewalks, MTA property, city parks, or government buildings require a Notice of Claim within 90 days. Miss this deadline and your case against the City is permanently barred. Call us immediately after any accident on city property.

Construction accident cases in Manhattan involve some of the most complex projects and highest-value claims in New York. The Hudson Yards district alone has produced numerous significant Labor Law cases. If you were hurt on any Manhattan job site, your case may be worth substantial compensation under §240's absolute liability standard.

Manhattan Injury Questions

Where do I file a personal injury case in Manhattan?

New York County Supreme Court at 60 Centre Street in lower Manhattan handles most personal injury matters. Civil Court at 111 Centre Street handles smaller claims. Our office at 579 5th Avenue is close to both — we handle all filings on your behalf.

I was hurt on a midtown sidewalk. Who is responsible?

Sidewalk liability in Manhattan depends on whether the sidewalk fronts a commercial property or a one-to-four family residence. Commercial property owners are responsible for adjacent sidewalks under NYC Admin Code §7-210. City-owned sidewalks require a Notice of Claim within 90 days.

Can I sue if I was hurt in a New York City parking garage?

Yes — parking garage owners have a duty to maintain safe conditions. Slip and falls from inadequate lighting, spilled fluids, or structural defects in Manhattan parking facilities are viable premises liability claims. Call us immediately and preserve any surveillance footage you can identify.

My accident was in Midtown during rush hour. Does traffic affect my case?

The chaos of Midtown rush hour actually strengthens many pedestrian and bicycle cases because it increases the duty of care on drivers and creates more potential witnesses. Security cameras are dense in Midtown — we act fast to preserve that footage before it is overwritten.
