Why injured New Yorkers start here

Big firms spend millions to get your call, then make you feel small. NYC Injury Line is built to do the opposite: help first, explain everything, and match you with the right attorney for your accident — at no cost to talk and no fee unless you win.

Straight answers, no pressure

We explain your options in plain English on the first call. No sales pitch, no obligation, no legalese.

The right lawyer for your case

We connect you with an experienced New York injury attorney matched to your accident type — car, construction, rideshare, MTA, and more.

Your fee never goes up

Under New York rules, connecting you with trial counsel never increases your total fee. You pay nothing unless there's a recovery.

We protect your deadlines

Some NY injury deadlines are as short as 30 days. We make sure the clock doesn't run out while you decide.

Personal injury help for every kind of NYC accident

New York City moves fast, and people get hurt — on the BQE, on a Citi Bike, on a broken sidewalk, on a job site. Whatever happened, the first step is the same: a free call with people who handle New York injury cases every day.

Car Accidents

NYC car accident claims, no-fault insurance benefits, and serious injury lawsuits after crashes on city streets and highways.

Rideshare — Uber & Lyft

Injured as a rideshare passenger, driver, or someone they hit? These cases involve special insurance coverage.

Taxi & Livery Accidents

Yellow cab, green cab, and livery crash injuries — for passengers and pedestrians alike.

Truck Accidents

Box trucks and tractor-trailers cause devastating injuries. Trucking companies have lawyers — you should too.

Motorcycle Accidents

Riders face serious injuries and unfair blame. Get an advocate who pushes back.

Pedestrian Knockdowns

Hit by a car, truck, or bike while walking in NYC? You may have a claim even if the driver fled.

Bicycle & Citi Bike

Bike lane crashes, doorings, and delivery e-bike collisions across the city.

Bus & Subway (MTA)

Injuries on buses, subways, and stations — these claims have very short deadlines. Act fast.

Construction Accidents

Falls from scaffolds and ladders. New York's Scaffold Law gives injured workers powerful rights.

Slip, Trip & Fall

Broken sidewalks, icy steps, unsafe stores, and building hazards — premises injury claims citywide.

Dog Bites

Dog attack injuries to adults and children, including scarring and infection claims.

Wrongful Death

When the worst happens, families deserve answers, accountability, and security — handled with care.

Serving all five boroughs

Wherever you were hurt, we know the ground: local courts, local insurance games, local streets.

How NYC Injury Line works

NYC Injury Line is run by the Law Office of James Medows, a second-generation New York law office. Here's the honest version of what happens when you call:

You call. It's free.

Tell us what happened in plain English. No legal jargon, no pressure, no cost to talk.

We protect your deadlines.

Some New York injury deadlines are as short as 30 and 90 days. We make sure nothing expires while you decide.

The right lawyer takes it from here.

Our office handles your matter or — only with your written OK — teams up with experienced injury trial counsel we trust. Either way, your total fee never goes up because lawyers share the work. That's New York law, and it's our promise.

New York injury deadlines are real — and short

Wait too long and a strong case can disappear. Three numbers every injured New Yorker should know:

30 days

To apply for no-fault benefits after most New York car accidents — the coverage that pays medical bills and lost wages.

90 days

To file a Notice of Claim for most injury claims against the City of New York — buses, sidewalks, city property.

3 years

The general deadline to file most New York personal injury lawsuits. Some cases have far less time.

Questions injured New Yorkers ask us

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in NYC?

Your consultation is free, and injury cases are handled on a contingency fee — the lawyer is paid a percentage of your recovery. If you don't win, you don't pay a legal fee.

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

Most New York injury lawsuits must be filed within 3 years. But claims against the City usually require a Notice of Claim within 90 days, and no-fault benefits generally must be requested within 30 days. Call early so nothing expires.

What should I do right after a car accident in NYC?

Get medical care first, even if you feel okay. Photograph everything. Collect names, insurance, and witness numbers. And don't give recorded statements to insurance companies before talking to a lawyer.

What if I was partly at fault?

You can still recover in New York. Your recovery is reduced by your share of the fault — but you're not barred from bringing a claim.

Will I pay more if another law firm works on my case?

No. If we connect you with injury trial counsel, it happens only with your written consent — and New York rules require that your total fee does not increase because lawyers share the work.

What is my case worth?

It depends on your injuries, bills, lost wages, and how the accident happened. No honest lawyer promises a number up front — but a free case review tells you what matters and what to protect right now.

Tell us what happened
