OUR CORE PRACTICE AREAS
Comprehensive Personal Injury Representation in NYC
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car accidents, truck collisions, taxi crashes, and rideshare incidents can leave you with serious injuries and mounting bills. We investigate every detail of your accident, deal with insurance companies who try to pay you less than you deserve, and fight to get you full compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. Our firm has recovered millions for accident victims across NYC.
Medical Malpractice
Doctors and hospitals make mistakes. When they do, patients suffer. We represent people injured by misdiagnosis, surgical errors, birth injuries, and delayed cancer diagnosis. Medical malpractice cases are complex and require expert testimony. We work with top medical experts who can explain what went wrong and why you deserve compensation.
Construction Accidents
Construction workers face serious dangers every day, falls from scaffolding, equipment failures, and unsafe worksites. New York has strong laws protecting injured workers, and we know how to use them. We've handled cases involving falls, crush injuries, explosions, and accidents caused by inadequate safety equipment. If you were hurt on a construction site, you may be entitled to more than just workers' compensation.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians struck by cars, buses, or trucks often suffer life-changing injuries. New York City streets are crowded and dangerous. We help injured pedestrians hold negligent drivers accountable and recover compensation for medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost wages, and the physical and emotional trauma of being hit by a vehicle.
Bus & Train Accidents
MTA buses, private buses, subways, and trains carry millions of New Yorkers every day. When accidents happen, the government and transit agencies have teams of lawyers protecting them. You need an experienced attorney who knows how to take on these powerful defendants. We've won significant verdicts against the New York City Transit Authority and other transit operators.
Bicycle Accidents
Cyclists have the same rights as other vehicles on NYC roads, but drivers don't always respect those rights. If you were hit while riding your bike, we can help you fight for the compensation you deserve. We've successfully represented bicyclists injured in collisions with cars, buses, trucks, and even other cyclists.
Slip & Fall Injuries
Property owners must keep their premises safe. When they fail to fix broken stairs, clean up spills, or remove ice and snow, people get hurt. We represent clients injured in slip and fall accidents, trip and fall incidents, and other dangerous property conditions throughout New York City. These cases require proving the property owner knew about the hazard and did nothing to fix it, and we know how to build that proof.
Police Brutality
Law enforcement officers must follow the law. When they use excessive force, make false arrests, or violate your civil rights, we hold them accountable. We've successfully represented victims of police brutality and secured compensation for injuries, emotional distress, and violations of constitutional rights.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one to someone else's negligence is devastating. While no amount of money can replace your family member, a wrongful death claim can provide financial security and justice. We handle wrongful death cases arising from vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, construction accidents, and other forms of negligence. We treat grieving families with compassion while aggressively pursuing the compensation they deserve.
Failure to Diagnose Cancer
A failure to diagnose cancer lawyer represents patients whose doctors ignored symptoms, failed to order proper tests, or misread results, allowing cancer to progress to more advanced stages. Michael Gunzburg, P.C. has over 39 years of experience handling cancer misdiagnosis cases across New York City, holding negligent physicians accountable when delayed diagnosis leads to harsher treatment, reduced survival odds, or permanent harm.
Surgical Mistakes
Surgical mistakes can cause serious, life-altering harm when surgeons damage organs or nerves, operate on the wrong body part, leave instruments inside patients, or fail to properly monitor anesthesia and vital signs. Michael Gunzburg, P.C. represents New York patients injured by preventable surgical errors, holding hospitals and surgical teams accountable when deviations from accepted standards of care lead to lasting injuries or complications.
Product Liability
Product liability law protects consumers injured by dangerously designed, manufactured, or marketed products. We represent New York City victims harmed by defective products, including unsafe vehicles, children’s products, medical devices, machinery, and drugs. With decades of experience, the firm holds manufacturers and distributors accountable when preventable defects cause serious injury, disability, or death.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you only pay if we win your case. We cover all case expenses during the litigation, and you don't owe us anything unless we recover compensation for you.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York?
Most personal injury cases in New York have a three-year statute of limitations, but medical malpractice cases have only 30 months (2.5 years). Claims against New York City generally require filing a notice within 90 days, though this can vary depending on the specific government entity and type of claim. Deadlines can be much shorter for certain government or malpractice cases, so it's important to speak to a lawyer right away. The sooner you contact an attorney after your injury, the better we can protect your rights.
What is my case worth?
Every case is different. The value depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, how much work you've missed, whether you have permanent disabilities, and how the accident has affected your life. After reviewing your case, we can give you an honest assessment of what we believe your case is worth.
Do I have to go to court?
Many cases settle before trial, but we prepare every case as if it's going to court. That preparation is exactly what makes insurance companies willing to settle for fair amounts. If your case does go to trial, we have 39 years of courtroom experience and we'll be with you every step of the way.
What should I do right after an accident?
Get medical attention immediately, even if you don't think you're seriously hurt. Some injuries don't show symptoms right away. If possible, take photos of the accident scene, get contact information from witnesses, and report the accident to the police or property owner. Then call us at 212-725-8500 for a free consultation. The sooner we get involved, the better we can protect your rights.
