QUICK ACTION, THOROUGH INVESTIGATION
Paying Personal Attention to Client Needs
Communication with our clients is a priority. All phone calls and e-mails are answered promptly. We do not seek a large volume of cases so that we can devote the time necessary to careful preparation and attention to detail on each of our cases. Our Manhattan personal injury attorneys carefully investigate the opposing side’s expert witnesses by studying their prior testimony, writings, Internet sites, YouTube videos and other valuable evidence. We win injury cases by digging deep. Insurance adjusters have learned that we are not afraid to take them on in trial. Our client-driven approach often prompts the opposing side to make full settlement offers to avoid going up against us in trial.

9/11 Fund Attorneys Helping Victims With Vital Compensation
On September 18, 2001, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a statement claiming that the air quality in Lower Manhattan was safe, prompting residents and workers to return to Lower Manhattan. According to a 2003 report released by the inspector general of the EPA, the EPA’s statement on September 18 saying that the air was safe was made without sufficient, reliable information. The EPA was influenced by the White House Council on Environmental Quality to make reassuring public comments. In fact, the air was filled with asbestos, fiberglass, mercury, benzene, and other carcinogens.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 400,000 workers, residents, building occupants, and passersby were exposed to the toxic dust cloud created by the attacks. As of June 2020, 54,000 claims have been filed with the 9/11 Compensation fund and $6.69 billion has been awarded in compensation.
