The Orlow Firm is dedicated to civil rights, dignity and fair compensation. Victims of personal injury and civil rights abuses need a lawyer who is sympathetic to the emotional and financial consequences of their injury and abuse.

We are mindful of our personal injury victims’ immediate and long-term needs, whether they be medical, financial or emotional.

Contact The Orlow Firm today to schedule your free consultation regarding any of the following matters.

Our firm handles civil rights violations involving police misconduct, police brutality and false arrest. The people who serve our community―police officers, sheriffs, prison guards and other law enforcement agents―should protect us from harm and respect the rights of all citizens. If you have been injured, falsely arrested or believe you have been unfairly targeted by law enforcement, our firm can help.

Our attorneys are dedicated to obtaining full compensation on behalf of each and every injured client. 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 as a result of another’s negligent act, you may be able to bring a wrongful death claim. We handle personal injury claims involving the following:

• Slip and fall accident
• Sidewalk in NY accidents/falls
• Car accidents
• Pedestrian accident
• Motorcycle accident
• Bus and taxi accident
• Subway and train accidents
• Bicycle accident
• Elevator & escalator accidents
• Fear of AIDS
• Trucking accidents
• Clergy abuse
• Foster care abuse
• Nursing home neglect and abuse
• Bed sores
• Premises liability
• Store and business injuries

We handle construction accident claims arising from scaffolding accidents, ladder accidents, forklift accidents, crane accidents and those caused by falling objects.
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 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.

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, our firm can help.

We will come to you if you cannot come to us.
