Why Hire Us?

Allan Siegel:

We are a personal injury law firm. That is the only type of work that this law firm does. If you were injured as a result of somebody else’s negligence, then that’s a case that we would handle. So what does that include? Car crash cases. It includes bicycle crash cases, scooter cases, pedestrian accident cases, truck crash cases. It includes bus cases, all of those things, but it also includes situations where you might be hurt on somebody else’s premises. For example, maybe you were hurt at a business, maybe you slipped and fell because they didn’t maintain their floor in a safe condition.

Ira Sherman:

The insurance company knows that we are aggressive, we are creative. We have the funds to fund a case and hire experts, and as a result, they distinguish us in a category of law firms that they need to know and do know that we can take the case from day one all the way through trial successfully.

Stephen Ollar:

Insurance is an important factor, not just the insurance coverage on the vehicle that struck you, but also if you have additional insurance coverage that may compensate you if you have very serious injuries. The degree of your injury is important.

Joseph Cammarata:

Our approach is victim oriented in the sense that we are concerned for the wellbeing of our clients. We do everything to better their lot in life. A person that’s injured in a crash or bike accidents or pedestrian accidents, their life typically gets turned upside down. And we try to right that balance. We make sure that they’re getting the medical treatment that they need, that they’re following through, and that we understand the medicine, we understand just what the person is going through so we can articulate that. We could present that effectively.

Allan Siegel:

If you’ve been injured as a result of somebody else’s negligence or as a result of somebody else’s intentional act, that’s a case that we would handle and that’s a case that you should call us to consult with us on.

What Makes Us Different

Choosing a lawyer to represent you in a personal injury claim is an important decision which can have a significant impact on the outcome of the case. You want to choose a lawyer that has the skills to ensure you receive the maximum recovery under the law. You also want to select a lawyer that has a strong reputation in the community, so that the adverse lawyer or insurance company is aware of your lawyer’s and/or the firm’s successes.

This will help maximize the potential settlement you receive, and may avoid lengthy litigation. While no law firm can promise the outcome of your case, our firm can make this guarantee: we are ready to use our passion and legal experience to obtain the case outcome that you deserve.

The outcome of your case can impact your financial security and your future. Like any decision, finding the right lawyer requires research. Below, you will find some of our distinctions.
