Let Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., Advocate for Your Legal Interests
At Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., the interests of our clients always come first. Our personal injury attorneys are advocates for the injured and fight for compensation to cover our client’s losses. When you work with our law firm, we will handle all aspects of your personal injury claim or lawsuit while you heal from your injuries.
Our New Hyde Park personal injury lawyers offer support and will address any concerns you have as soon as possible. We also have a multilingual staff who will discuss your case with you in Spanish, Greek, Bengali, Tamil, or Kannada as necessary to ensure you have the best understanding of your options and next steps.
We Will Handle the Insurance Company for You
While you focus on getting better, we will deal with each and every insurance company connected with your case. We will handle all case-related communications and correspondence. The at-fault party and insurance company against whom we pursue damages will depend on how your injuries occurred. We typically seek monetary damages for our clients from:
- Homeowners’ insurance providers in cases of dog bites, dog attacks, and slip-and-fall accidents on residential property
- Commercial and retail insurance providers in cases of slip and fall accidents, negligent security, and premises liability
- Professional liability insurance providers in cases of medical or other professional malpractice
- Auto insurance providers in cases of car, truck, bicycle, motorcycle, and pedestrian accidents (In motor vehicle accident cases, this would typically include your own insurance company as well as the insurance carrier(s) of the at-fault party.)
You do not have to figure out which insurer to negotiate with. We know how to determine who is liable, the applicable insurance policy, and how to secure financial compensation through a negotiated settlement when possible. This is a significant advantage of having personal injury representation on your side in an injury case.
Our legal team will do the hard work for you, including working to negotiate the best possible settlement or representing you in court. A very important part of our mission is to relieve you of the stress, anxiety, and burdens of deadlines and adversarial communications so that you can focus on your medical treatment and optimize your healing and recovery.
Typically, after we have assessed the value of your injuries and their related expenses we are ready to negotiate with the insurance carrier for the at-fault party. Our team will field settlement offers and weigh and clarify the advantages and disadvantages of each offer you receive.
While the ultimate decisions in the case are always yours, we will provide all the information necessary for you to properly evaluate each available course of action and offer you the benefit of our training and experience to make recommendations among the available options.

We Will Represent You Both in and Out of Court
Our New Hyde Park personal injury lawyers will likely try to reach an out-of-court settlement in your case before taking it to trial if a favorable outcome can be reached by doing so. This allows us to recover compensation and hold the responsible parties accountable without investing the time and resources necessary to take a case to trial.
If the insurance company refuses to offer an acceptable settlement that covers your expenses and losses, we are ready and able to file a lawsuit in civil court, represent you in every step of litigation, and argue forcefully on your behalf to a judge and jury at trial.
Often, we file lawsuits and still settle the case out of court. The insurance companies generally do not want to go to trial any more than we do. That does not mean we will not prepare your case for trial, though. Over 30 years of experience have shown us, time after time, that the optimal settlements are obtained by handling your case as if it will ultimately be tried before a judge and jury in a court of law. The way we look at it, simply stated, is that we prepare your case as if we are going to fight to the end, meaning all the way to a jury verdict. In most cases, the best way to win a fight is to be so well prepared that the other side is afraid to fight and agrees to pay an appropriate settlement amount to avoid the fight.
Our Legal Team Works on a Contingency Fee Basis
Affording our legal services will never present any financial obstacle for you, as our law firm works for a contingency fee instead of an hourly rate. We believe all injured parties should be able to hire an experienced personal injury team. We ensure this by charging based on contingency. Through this process, we agree to:
- Charge attorney’s fees only if we win your case
- Be transparent about our legal fees before we begin your case so there are no surprises later
- Take our fee out of your compensation award, so you never have to pay out of your own pocket
A team member at the Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., office can explain our fee agreement system more thoroughly during your free initial consultation. Understanding when, how, and how much you will pay for our services is essential to ensuring you feel confident in your decision to let our law firm represent you and seek legal remedies on your behalf.

You Will Need to Act Quickly to Preserve Your Rights
There are deadlines on how long you have to take legal action after suffering injuries in New York. Under New York state law, there are statutes of limitations on personal injury and wrongful death cases. These put deadlines on how long accident victims or their families generally have to file a lawsuit against the liable party.
The most frequently applicable deadlines can be found in:
- New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214 for individuals filing personal injury lawsuits
- Estates, Powers & Trusts § 5-4.1 for surviving family members filing wrongful death lawsuits
- New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214-A for individuals filing medical malpractice lawsuits specifically
When we review your case, we will explain the time constraints you face. There could be additional factors that give you longer or require quicker legal action. (As just one example, claims where a government agency caused personal injury typically involves a shorter deadline than cases against private individuals and entities.)
Let us help you navigate this process and protect your legal right to recover a payout for the damages the other party caused you to suffer. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can begin collecting evidence to support your case and begin work to build the strongest case possible on your behalf.
Doing so can prevent certain time-sensitive evidence (for example, surveillance and dashcam video footage, accurate recollections as stated in eyewitness statements, etc.) from being lost, destroyed, or invalidated before you file your case.
We Will Collect Evidence That Supports Your Right to Compensation
The evidence that proves the cause and cost of your accident and injuries will vary on a case-by-case basis. It will also vary according to the type of accident you were involved in.
The evidence our investigation uncovers can include:
- Accident reports
- Animal control reports
- Internal incident reports
- Medical records and bills
- Witness statements
- Photos and videos
Due to the time-sensitive nature of certain evidence, we will canvass the accident scene and surrounding area for residential, commercial, security, and traffic camera footage. Our canvass will also include locating and interviewing witnesses, surveying the accident scene, and taking other steps to identify and collect evidence to support your claim.
Evidence is an important part of your case because it typically steers your resolution toward a financial settlement versus a lengthy trial. When we represent you, we do not stop at evidence collection. We also organize your evidence, frame it in the context of the most compelling arguments, and submit it to the at-fault party and their insurance representative on your behalf.
Every single action step we take is with the purpose of advocating on your behalf. Ultimately, the sole purpose of our practice is to champion your cause.
