Police misconduct
For the most part, the people who serve our communities as police officers, sheriffs, prison officials, and other law enforcement agents respect the rights of citizens. Unfortunately, just as in any line of work, there are those who abuse their authority by physically and emotionally harming the citizens they are supposed to protect. Fortunately, the law provides a remedy for the injuries handed out by offending officers.

Police brutality
Police officers and prison guards are employed to protect us from harm, not inflict physical punishment. The law protects all citizens, including people accused or convicted of crimes, from violence at the hands of the police.

False arrest
Police misconduct does not always involve a physical injury. If you have been falsely arrested, or if you are unfairly targeted for arrest through racial profiling, you may have a damages claim against a municipality and the offending officers.

Personal injury
If you have suffered serious injuries from an accident that was caused by another party’s negligence or wrongful conduct, you have the right to recover compensation to cover your medical expenses and lost wages. Depending on your injury and other factors, you may also be able to recover damages for loss of future earning power, disability or disfigurement, pain and suffering, and/or mental anguish. If a spouse or child has died in an auto accident as a result of another’s negligent act, you may be able to bring a wrongful death claim.

Construction accidents
If you have been injured in a construction accident, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible. Even if you are receiving workers’ compensation benefits, you may be eligible for additional damages if a third party, someone other than your employer or a coworker, caused your injuries. Examples of third parties are manufacturers, subcontractors, and landlords. Settlements and verdicts awarded to victims of construction accidents caused by third-party negligence are typically much greater than workers’ compensation awards.

Lead poisoning
Lead poisoning caused by lead paint is a serious problem in many older apartment buildings in New York City, especially for children who can suffer lifelong learning disabilities and other health problems because of exposure to lead.

Motor vehicle accidents
We represent individuals who may have suffered serious injuries in a car accident, trucking accident, or other motor vehicle accidents. Many commercial vehicle accidents occur because profits are more important than safety to some transportation companies. In addition to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any disfigurement/disability that results from the accident, we may be able to pursue punitive damages, depending on the circumstances.

Workers’ compensation
If you have a question about your benefits, the lawyers at Orlow, Orlow & Orlow, P.C. offer a free initial consultation. The firm represents injured workers throughout the New York City area, including The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens.

Rapes and assaults
Building owners have a responsibility to provide a reasonably secure environment for people who live in their building or come onto the property. If you have been assaulted or raped in a private building or in a public housing building owned by the New York City Housing Authority, you should contact the lawyers at Orlow, Orlow & Orlow, P.C.

Fee Arrangement

At Orlow, Orlow & Orlow, P.C., we take all cases on a "contingent fee" basis. A contingent fee means that the attorneys are paid only at the time when, and if, they recover money damages for the client. A contingent fee thereby allows an injured person with little or no financial resources to obtain competent legal assistance. At the time recovery is obtained, the attorneys’ fee is a percentage of the award in the case. If there is no recovery, there will be no attorneys’ fees.*

Free consultation: If you have recently suffered an injury or wonder if you have a legal claim, contact our office to schedule an appointment with our qualified and experienced lawyers. We can provide you with a confidential and honest assessment of your case.
