Knowledgeable lawyers helping injured New Yorkers

The Orlow Firm was established in 1981. Our attorneys understand the potential problems of everyday life in the city. We use the sidewalks and the public transportation systems. We understand that when a slip and fall accident, bus accident or subway accident occurs, you want answers and you want to hold the negligent party accountable. Whether you suffer broken bones or an injured back, we take your trip/slip and fall accident seriously.

Act quickly to secure your rights to a claim

You must file a written claim within 90 days of your accident or you will lose your right to pursue a claim. The claim must be filed with the municipal agency where your accident occurred. By doing this, you can remove one of the roadblocks to successful resolution of your claim. Our firm can help you with this written notice.

Cracked sidewalks, icy sidewalks and other poorly maintained NYC sidewalks can result in injury. If you have been injured, contact The Orlow Firm to schedule your free consultation.

Fee Arrangement

At The Orlow Firm, we take all cases on a "contingent" basis. A contingent fee means that the attorneys are paid only at the time when, and if, you recover money damages. A contingent fee allows an injured person with little or no money 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 suffered an injury in a fall on a sidewalk or if you are wondering if you have a legal claim, our qualified and experienced lawyers will offer a confidential and honest assessment of your case. Contact our office today.

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