New York City Injury Attorney

Professional Legal Representation in Injury Cases

The law firm of Hecht, Kleeger & Damashek has over 60 years of combined legal experience, fighting for the rights of the victims of serious injury cases. Our firm has a remarkable record of success in recovering high value settlements in all types of injury cases. In the last 12 years alone we have recovered more than $100 million in settlement for our clients. It is not just our dedication and knowledge that gives us the ability to secure large settlements for our injured clients and their families, but also our experience as trial attorneys. When it comes to litigation, there is no substitute for real trial experience. A lawyer can understand every law in the book, but without experience in the field and in a court room, it may decrease in value. An attorney's ability to deliver an argument in front of a courtroom, especially in high pressure situations, can prove to be one of the most beneficial skills.

At our New York City personal injury law office, we strongly believe in fighting for what is right. We will fight to ensure that our clients obtain every penny that they need and deserve, and do not plan to stop fighting until this has happened. When another party is negligent, reckless, or engages in wrongdoing, they can be held liable for any injuries or other damages sustained by the victim. Whether the case reaches a settlement prior to a trial through negotiations, or if our litigation team fights for your rights in court, we are highly committed to demanding fair and full compensation for our clients.

At HKD, we understand that being injured in an accident can be a frightening, emotional and confusing experience for the injured as well as their loved ones. We fight to protect the rights of innocent victims, and to obtain the full cash value for their injuries, pain and suffering, all medical and hospital costs, and their lost income from wages, both current and future. We have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for our clients, and have an extraordinary record of success. Our aggressive litigation team has garnered high respect from insurance companies, their legal counsel and the judiciary. We welcome you to contact a New York City injury lawyer at our office at your earliest convenience to discuss your particular case and how we can assist you.

Personal Injury

A personal injury is a type of injury that affects a victim physically and/or emotionally, when caused by another's act or failure to act. A personal injury may be caused by negligence, which is described as a failure to provide reasonable care in the circumstances. It may also be caused by intentional wrongdoing, as in a case where a person attacks another with the intent to cause harm. When one experiences a personal injury of any kind, it is important to discuss one's options with an attorney. You see, the individual or business entity responsible for causing your injuries may be held legally accountable. A lawyer with experience in the field of New York personal injury law can carefully review the matter on your behalf to determine how to best proceed. With skilled legal help, you may be able to recover money for your medical expenses, lost earnings and other economic and non-economic damages you have suffered.
