    Car Accident

    This team was diligent and informative

    My family and I were involved in a car accident on October 29, 2022, when the vehicle I was operating was rear-ended at a traffic light in Yonkers. The office manager, Jami Waite, managing Attorney David Gross, and the trial attorney, Sharon Scanlon, were diligent and informative and fought to provide my family and me an amicable settlement for our pain and suffering. We appreciate all their dedication and hard work and will highly recommend Jacoby & Myers to friends and family.

    Wrongful Death

    I highly recommend this firm!

    I highly recommend Jacoby and Meyers!!! When my 88 yr old grandma died in a preventable accident the lawyers at Jacoby and Meyers took me through the litigation process and explained everything along the way. The lawyers held the health institution accountable! The staff were always available to answer questions and I can’t thank the lawyers enough Mary Ellen , and Gustavo, who went to bat and did not settle for chump change but rather got a fair settlement, And paralegals Guy , who I called regularly and guy was awesome and patient with me, especially in his explaining the process and timelines, and administrative staff who processed paperwork with the Bronx Courts. Nothing can bring my grandma back. I believe She would still be alive today had she not had the accident in the health institution…. Jacoby and Meyers will fight for your family like they did for mine !! Thank you so much !!

    They answered all my questions

    My experience from day one was good. Agents reached out to me right away and I never had a problem getting a quick response whenever I had any questions. They fully explained the process and even let me know that if I didn’t hear from them for a minute that they were still working on my case. Which was a relief for me.

    I was referred to David for my car accident case. He is very patient, supportive and honest. Whenever I contacted him, he responded to me on time and I always got positive vibes. More impressively, he always called me to give me updates on my file and obtained a great settlement. I highly recommend him to anyone involved in an accident. Thank you so much David for all your help, I highly appreciate it.

    Car Accident

    I am so grateful for Jacoby & Meyers

    There are not enough words to express my gratitude for the legal service and support I received from Jacoby & Meyers throughout an unfortunate accident in Queens back in 2014 . If it were not for the integral legal team of experts at Jacoby & Meyers I would not be where I am today with my recovery. I highly recommend hiring Jacoby & Meyers should you ever find yourself injured in an accident, and an individual or company needs to be held accountable for their negligence.

    New York City Nursing Home Negligence Lawyer FAQ

    Injuries may include falls, bedsores from neglect, medication errors, fractures, internal injuries, and complications from inadequate care.

    You must show the facility had a duty to provide safe care, breached that duty, and the breach caused the injury. Evidence includes medical records, staff logs, and expert analysis.

    Yes. If neglect or unsafe care worsened an existing condition, you may still pursue compensation for the harm caused.

    Typically, you have three years from when the injury was discovered to file a claim. Delays in reporting can affect your rights, so early consultation is critical.

    Often, facilities carry liability insurance that may cover medical costs, pain and suffering, and other damages, but insurers often dispute claims without strong legal representation.

    If a loved one died due to nursing home neglect or abuse, the personal representative of the estate may pursue a wrongful death claim on behalf of the family.

    If you have additional questions about your claim, our team can answer them when we meet with you.
