How much is my Bronx personal injury case worth?

Every case is different. Value depends on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, long-term impact, and available insurance coverage. During your free consultation we review your records and give you an honest early assessment.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit in Bronx?

Generally three years from the date of injury for personal injury claims in New York. Claims against the City, NYCHA, MTA, or another public entity require a Notice of Claim within 90 days. Medical malpractice and wrongful death claims have shorter deadlines — do not wait.

What is New York's serious injury threshold?

Under Insurance Law § 5102(d), a car-crash victim can sue for pain and suffering only if injuries meet the 'serious injury' threshold — fracture, significant limitation of use, permanent consequential injury, or 90/180 disability, among other categories. Most meaningful injuries qualify.

Do I need a lawyer, or can I handle the claim myself?

You can, but insurers routinely lowball unrepresented claimants. Represented injury clients typically net more even after attorney's fees — and with contingency-fee representation, hiring us costs you nothing upfront.

How much does a Bronx personal injury lawyer cost?

Nothing upfront. Raytsin Law Firm PC handles Bronx injury cases on a contingency-fee basis. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery — if we do not win, you owe no attorney's fees.

How long does a Bronx injury case take?

Straightforward car-accident claims may resolve in months. Complex construction, malpractice, and trucking cases often take a year or more. We move as quickly as your medical treatment and the evidence allow — never at the cost of full value.

Cases We Handle

Bronx Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Car Accidents

Rear-end impacts, intersection crashes, rideshare collisions, and hit-and-runs in the Bronx — we handle every kind of motor vehicle claim from first call to final check.

Truck Accidents

Commercial vehicles cause catastrophic injuries. Federal safety regulations, black-box data, and layered insurance policies make truck cases powerful when handled correctly.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians struck in crosswalks and intersections in the Bronx face life-altering injuries. We move fast to secure video, witnesses, and the full insurance picture.

Bicycle Accidents

Dooring, bike-lane obstruction, and turning-vehicle strikes injure cyclists every day. Cyclists have the same rights to the roadway as drivers.

Construction Accidents

Falls from height, scaffold collapses, falling objects, and machinery injuries on Bronx job sites can support claims far beyond workers' compensation.

Slip & Fall / Premises Liability

Property owners must keep sidewalks, stairs, and floors reasonably safe. Ice, uneven surfaces, spills, and poor lighting cause serious falls.

Medical Malpractice

Misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and birth injuries change lives. We work with medical experts to prove negligence caused real harm.

Dog Bite Injuries

Dog-bite liability is fact-specific. We identify the right owner, landlord, insurer, and coverage source so serious bite injuries are fully compensated.

Retail & Restaurant Injuries

Spills, falling merchandise, defective seating, and food-related injuries at Bronx stores and restaurants can support strong negligence claims.

Areas We Serve

Representing Injury Victims Across Bronx

We represent injured clients throughout Bronx County — from Riverdale and Kingsbridge to Hunts Point, Soundview, and Throgs Neck.

Grand Concourse & Fordham

Wide multi-lane corridors and dense pedestrian traffic near Fordham Road produce frequent car and pedestrian collisions.

Cross Bronx & Bruckner Expressway

Heavy commercial trucking, sudden congestion, and merge-point crashes make these among the most dangerous roads in the city.

Riverdale, Soundview & Throgs Neck

Residential streets, aging sidewalks, and apartment-building hazards drive a steady volume of premises liability claims.
