“To me, winning is the only acceptable outcome for my clients.”

Michael S. Lamonsoff,

Why “The Bull” is the Only Choice for Your Personal Injury Lawsuit in New York

Michael S. Lamonsoff, a top personal injury lawyer in New York, is called “The Bull” by his clients because he never stops fighting for them.

With deep experience in handling the gambit of personal injury lawsuits from construction accidents, premises liability, sexual abuse to mass torts and others.  We have handled many of the highest profile injury cases in New York and across the country.

Michael "The Bull" Lamonsoff believes in preparing every case for trial even though the vast majority of cases settle. The insurance companies want to control the process. They want to limit the amount of compensation our clients get for their injuries by offering inadequate offers of settlement. We take the control of the process away from them. Our firm speedily and aggressively litigates every case as if it were going to trial.  The insurance companies are terrified of this. They know that once the case goes to trial, a jury will decide how much money an injury victim will get. A jury is made up of people just like you and others in your community. They are far more sympathetic to our clients’ plight than multi-national insurance corporations. That is why, as our client’s case gets closer to trial, the more money they will offer.

“I have assembled a special team of highly aggressive attorneys, paralegals, experts, and paraprofessionals to defeat the insurance companies at their own game.”- Michael "The Bull" Lamonsoff 

If you or a loved one has been injured Michael "The Bull" is prepared to take aggressive action to get you the best possible results.  You deserve attentive, focused legal representation from a top-rated New York personal injury lawyer who is prepared to take your case to trial and fight for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a personal injury claim in New York?

Under New York law, all individuals and companies have a duty to take reasonable care to avoid foreseeable physical injury to others. This duty applies in almost every conceivable circumstance. If you have been injured because of the negligence of others, you likely have a personal injury case. Call us, and we will determine whether you have a case. We will immediately investigate and document your claim before the negligent parties and their insurance companies attempt to weaken or destroy your case.

How are my medical expenses covered after I have been injured?

If you are injured and have insurance, it may cover some or all of your medical expenses. If you are in a car accident, New York has passed the No-Fault laws that will cover your medical expenses to a certain extent. If you do not have insurance or you have limited insurance, an alternate arrangement might be made in which the physician will deliver all necessary treatment. This becomes part of your claim for an additional money award in your lawsuit. Additionally, if your injury causes you to miss work, you can claim lost wages as part of your compensation. We will help ensure that both medical bills and lost wages are factored into your case.

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury in New York?

In New York, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years from the date of the injury. This means you must file your lawsuit within that time frame. However, some exceptions may apply where the statute is much shorter, depending on the nature of your case (e.g., medical malpractice or claims against a government entity), so it’s essential to consult a lawyer early to ensure you meet the deadlines.

Am I able to recover lost wages or medical bills?

Yes, you can recover both lost wages and medical bills in a personal injury case. This includes wages lost during your recovery period and compensation for future income if your injury affects your ability to work long-term. Medical bills from the injury, including future treatment costs, can also be recovered as part of your compensation.

How long will it take to receive compensation?

Once your case is settled or a judgment is awarded, it typically takes up to thirty days to receive your compensation. However, delays can occur if the defendant contests the payout or multiple parties are involved. As your attorney, we will work to expedite the process as much as possible to ensure you receive your compensation promptly.

How can I help prove my personal injury claim?

Of course, the best way to prove your personal injury claim is to retain the services of a skilled attorney, such as New York City Personal Injury Attorney Michael The Bull, as soon as possible. After an accident happens, time is of the essence. The negligent parties and their insurance companies will make every effort to weaken or destroy your claim. They are not your friends. Here’s how you can help to preserve your personal injury claim after your accident: - Take photos of the accident scene at the time of the accident or soon afterward. - File a police report and/or an incident/accident report. - Ensure you get contact information from witnesses who may have seen the accident happen and those involved in it. You can do this at the time of the accident or soon after that. Please see our Accident Help Guide for additional information. All of these things can help preserve and strengthen your case, especially if you put them into the hands of one of the top-rated personal injury lawyers in New York City.

What types of damages can I recover in a personal injury case?

You can recover several types of damages in a personal injury case, including:

  • Medical expenses: Both past and future medical bills related to the injury.
  • Lost wages: Compensation for income lost due to the injury.
  • Pain and suffering: For physical and emotional distress caused by the injury.
  • Loss of future earnings: If the injury impacts your ability to work in the future.
  • Property damage: If applicable, for any personal property damaged in the incident.
This list is not exhaustive, as you may be entitled to more. Our attorneys have years of experience obtaining the highest awards possible for our clients and fighting for the compensation you deserve. Call the Law Offices of Michael S. Lamonsoff for a free consultation to discuss the compensation you may be entitled to due to your personal injury case.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in New York City?

Personal injury lawyers typically work on a contingency fee, meaning you don’t pay upfront. Instead, the lawyer’s fee is a percentage of your compensation if you win your case. At The Law Offices of Michael S. Lamonsoff, there is no fee for your initial consultation, and if the firm does not win your case, you owe nothing. You only pay if we win! This no-win, no-fee arrangement ensures that anyone can pursue their legal rights without financial risk.

How long will my case take?

The length of a personal injury case can vary significantly based on factors like the case's complexity, the extent of your injuries, and whether the other party is willing to settle. Some cases can be resolved in months, while others may take several years, especially if they go to trial. Your lawyer will give you a better estimate based on the specifics of your situation.

How much is my case worth?

The value of your personal injury case depends on several key factors, such as the severity of your injuries, the insurance policy limits, the impact on your ability to work, and the extent of your pain and suffering. To determine the worth of your case, your lawyer will evaluate the specific details, including the severity of your injury, how long your recovery will take, and the degree to which your life has been disrupted.
