About Us

Experience
You Can Count On.
Results You Can See.

People in New York have trusted us for over 35 years. That trust comes from one thing — results.

Mitchell Silbowitz has been fighting for injury victims since 1989. He’s helped clients win more than 1,000 cases in New York City, Long Island, and other counties across New York State. That includes people hurt in car accidents, falls, construction sites, and other serious situations.

Every case gets personal attention. No middlemen. No guessing who’s working on your claim. Clients speak directly with the lawyers handling their case. The goal is simple: fight hard and win strong results.

Insurance companies don’t scare us. We’ve gone up against them for decades and know how to deal with their delay tactics and lowball offers. When someone gets hurt and can’t work or live the way they used to, they deserve real compensation. Not just a fast payout that doesn’t cover the damage.

This firm was built on hard work, honesty, and grit. If a case needs to go to trial, we’re ready. If it makes sense to settle, we push for every dollar.

Sibowitz, for his open and honest handling of my case I got $290,000, and if I had been more patient I would get more; however, I’m totally satisfied with this law firm and will this law firm any time and on any case. Thank you all for your professionalism and courtesy.

I went to the firm in 2014 for a slip and fall on ice. I found them to be very professional, honest, thorough, and empathetic. I had a difficult case to say the least and they were very persistent in handling my case. My case came to an end in 2020 and I can honestly say I am very satisfied with my end situation.

    Common Questions

    Frequently Asked
    Questions

    What kinds of personal injury cases do you handle?

    We handle all types of personal injury cases including car accidents, truck accidents, slip and falls, construction injuries, pedestrian accidents, and more. If you were hurt because someone else was careless, we want to hear your story.

    Do I have to pay anything upfront?

    No. You don’t pay us unless we win your case. The consultation is free, and we only get paid if you do.

    How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in New York?

    In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a claim. But don’t wait. Some situations have shorter deadlines, and the sooner you call, the better.

    What if I was partly at fault for the accident?

    You can still recover money even if you were partly to blame. New York follows a rule called “comparative negligence,” which means your compensation may be reduced, but not wiped out.

    Will I have to go to court?

    Not always. Many cases settle outside of court. But if a trial is what it takes to get you full compensation, we’re ready to take it all the way.

    How much is my case worth?

    That depends on your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and how the injury has affected your life. Once we learn more about your case, we can give you a better idea.

    What should I do after an accident?

    Get medical help right away. Then take photos, get witness names, and don’t talk to the insurance company until you speak with a lawyer. Even if you think your injuries are minor, it’s smart to get checked out and document everything.

    Do you serve all of New York City?

    Yes. We work with clients in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, and Queens. We know the courts, the judges, and the neighborhoods. That local knowledge helps us build stronger cases.

    What if the insurance company already made me an offer?

    Don’t sign anything yet. Insurance companies usually offer less than what your case is truly worth. Let us review it before you agree to anything.

    How do I get started?

    Call us or fill out the contact form on our website. The consultation is free, and there’s no pressure. We’ll listen to what happened and explain your options clearly.
