A Brooklyn personal injury lawyer represents people hurt by someone else’s negligence anywhere in Kings County — from a rear-end crash on the Belt Parkway to a scaffold fall in Downtown Brooklyn to a trip on a broken sidewalk flag in Bensonhurst. In New York you generally have three years from the date of injury to sue (90 days to file a notice of claim if the City, MTA, or NYC Housing Authority is involved), and you must meet the “serious injury” threshold under Insurance Law § 5102(d) to recover for pain and suffering in a motor vehicle case.
HaddLegal handles these cases on contingency. You pay no attorney’s fee unless we recover for you.
Types of Brooklyn Personal Injury Cases We Handle
BROOKLYN CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER
Car accidents are among the most common personal injury claims in Brooklyn. Crashes happen on highways, side streets, bridges, intersections, commercial corridors, and residential blocks.
HaddLegal represents injured drivers, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, and rideshare passengers after Brooklyn motor vehicle accidents.
After a crash, insurance companies may argue that your injuries are minor, pre-existing, unrelated, or not serious enough. HaddLegal fights back with medical proof, liability evidence, and aggressive case preparation.
TRUCK ACCIDENT LAWYER IN BROOKLYN
Truck accidents can cause catastrophic injuries because of the size and weight of commercial vehicles. Brooklyn truck crashes may involve delivery trucks, box trucks, tractor-trailers, sanitation trucks, construction vehicles, moving trucks, and commercial vans.
HaddLegal investigates truck accident cases involving:
Truck accident cases are not ordinary car accident cases. They require fast investigation, document preservation, and pressure on trucking companies before evidence disappears.
CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENT LAWYER IN BROOKLYN
Brooklyn has constant construction, renovation, demolition, scaffolding, roofing, and building activity. When owners, contractors, subcontractors, or construction companies cut corners, workers and pedestrians can suffer devastating injuries.
HaddLegal handles Brooklyn construction accident cases involving:
Construction companies and insurance carriers often try to blame workers for unsafe job sites. HaddLegal investigates what really happened and fights to hold the proper defendants accountable.
UBER AND LYFT ACCIDENT LAWYER IN BROOKLYN
Rideshare accidents in Brooklyn can involve complicated insurance issues. The available coverage may depend on whether the Uber or Lyft driver was offline, logged into the app, waiting for a ride, on the way to pick up a passenger, or transporting a passenger at the time of the crash.
HaddLegal handles Brooklyn Uber and Lyft accident claims involving:
Insurance companies may try to point fingers at each other. HaddLegal works to identify the correct coverage and pursue the responsible parties.
SLIP AND FALL LAWYER IN BROOKLYN
Slip and fall and trip and fall accidents can cause serious injuries, especially when they involve broken stairs, wet floors, icy sidewalks, cracked pavement, defective handrails, poor lighting, loose mats, or unsafe building conditions.
A Brooklyn slip and fall lawyer can help determine whether a property owner, landlord, tenant, managing agent, store, building contractor, or maintenance company may be responsible.
HaddLegal handles Brooklyn fall cases involving:
Property owners often deny notice of dangerous conditions. HaddLegal looks for inspection records, maintenance logs, video footage, prior complaints, photographs, witnesses, and other evidence that may prove negligence.
PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT LAWYER IN BROOKLYN
Brooklyn pedestrians face serious risks from speeding drivers, distracted drivers, delivery vehicles, trucks, rideshare vehicles, buses, turning vehicles, and drivers who fail to yield.
HaddLegal represents pedestrians injured in Brooklyn crosswalks, intersections, parking lots, sidewalks, and roadways.
Common causes of Brooklyn pedestrian accidents include:
Pedestrian injuries are often severe because the human body has no protection against a moving vehicle. HaddLegal fights for compensation for medical treatment, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term damages.
BROOKLYN WRONGFUL DEATH LAWYER
When negligence causes the death of a loved one, no lawsuit can undo the loss. However, a wrongful death claim can help a family pursue accountability and financial recovery. Brooklyn wrongful death cases may arise from:
- Fatal car accidents
- Truck crashes
- Construction accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Medical negligence
- Dangerous property conditions
- Worksite accidents
- Negligent security
- Motorcycle crashes
HaddLegal handles wrongful death cases in Brooklyn with seriousness, preparation, and respect for what the family is going through.
OTHER BROOKLYN INJURY CASES WE HANDLE
Not every serious injury fits into a car crash or a fall. HaddLegal handles the full range of Brooklyn personal injury and negligence claims, including cases that involve overlapping insurance, employer liability, or a criminal investigation running alongside the civil case.
Additional Brooklyn case types include:
- Workers’ compensation claims — and the third-party lawsuit that often runs alongside them
- Hit-and-run crashes and uninsured or underinsured motorist claims
- Motorcycle, bicycle, e-bike, and scooter accidents
- Bus, MTA, and other municipal vehicle accidents
- Dog bites and animal attacks
- Defective product and machinery injuries
- Negligent security, assaults on premises, and building code violations
- Sexual assault and abuse claims
If you are not sure whether what happened to you is a case, call. The consultation is free, and the deadline to act is often shorter than people assume.
WHERE BROOKLYN ACCIDENTS HAPPEN
A Brooklyn case is not a generic New York case. Venue, jury pool, and the local geography of a crash all change how a claim is valued and litigated.
High-Risk Corridors
Atlantic Avenue, Flatbush Avenue, Eastern Parkway, Ocean Parkway, Fourth Avenue, Bedford Avenue, Kings Highway, the Belt Parkway, and the BQE — plus the bridge and tunnel approaches where merging traffic and truck routes converge.
Neighborhoods We Serve
Bay Ridge, Sunset Park, Park Slope, Downtown Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, Flatbush, Midwood, Bensonhurst, Borough Park, Sheepshead Bay, Canarsie, Brownsville, East New York, Greenpoint, Dyker Heights, Coney Island, and Red Hook.
If a City vehicle, bus, MTA, or NYCHA property is involved, a notice of claim must generally be served within 90 days of the incident, and the lawsuit filed within one year and 90 days. Miss it and the claim is usually gone regardless of how strong it was. Call before that window closes.
The New York Rules That Decide Your Case
CPLR § 1411
Comparative Negligence
Even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover compensation. However, insurance companies will try to shift blame to reduce what they pay. That is why we push back early.
CPLR § 214
Statute of Limitations
Most personal injury cases must be filed within three years — but some deadlines are much shorter.
Ins. Law 5102(d)
Serious injury threshold
In car accident cases, you must meet specific legal requirements to recover pain and suffering damages. This is one of the most contested issues in New York litigation.
Gen. Mun. Law § 50-e
90-Day Notice Rule
If your case involves the City of New York, you may need to file a Notice of Claim within 90 days. Missing this deadline can destroy your case.
Ins. Law Art. 51
No-Fault Insurance
No-fault covers basic losses, but it doesn’t come close to covering serious injuries. That’s where a full claim becomes critical.
Five statutes drive nearly every Brooklyn injury claim. Here is what each one does, how the defense uses it against you, and how we handle it.
Brooklyn's Personal Injury Lawyer,
Fighting Insurance Companies for Maximum Compensation
If you were injured in Brooklyn — in Park Slope, Bay Ridge, Sunset Park, Williamsburg, Bushwick, Flatbush, or anywhere else in the borough — you’re not just dealing with pain, medical treatment, and lost income. You’re dealing with insurance companies already working to reduce, delay, or deny your claim. They move fast, investigate immediately, and look for ways to shift blame onto you.
As a Brooklyn personal injury lawyer, attorney Randy Haddad and the HaddLegal team represent accident victims in car accident, truck accident, pedestrian accident, construction accident, slip and fall, Uber and Lyft accident, and wrongful death cases with an aggressive, client-first strategy built to maximize compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Rear-end collisions are often dismissed by insurers as “minor.” At HaddLegal, we treat them as what they are: clear liability cases that deserve full compensation.
