New York attorneys who handle personal injury claims, including car accidents, slip-and-falls, and other injury cases must be licensed to practice law in the state and familiar with its court system. New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning an injured party can recover damages even if they share most of the fault, with the award reduced by their percentage of responsibility.

Recognition in this directory is based on trial experience, client outcomes, and a proven record in personal injury litigation. Firms are evaluated on their reputation and track record with clients in New York.
