When a serious fracture turns your life upside down, you want a team that has done this before and won. Davidoff Law has spent years focused on New York personal injury law and has recovered millions of dollars for injured people across New York City, including multi-million-dollar results in serious injury cases.
Our attorneys prepare every broken bone injury claim as if it will go to trial, because that pressure often leads to stronger settlements. We bring the staff, the medical contacts, and the courtroom experience that hard fracture cases demand.
You also pay nothing up front. Because we work on a contingency fee basis, you owe us no fee unless we win compensation for you. That means you can hire a proven Manhattan broken bones injury lawyer with zero financial risk.
How Can Our Manhattan Broken Bones Injury Lawyer Help?
Broken bones are rarely simple. Many fractures need surgery, hardware, months of physical therapy, and a long time away from work. A skilled lawyer takes that weight off your shoulders. Our team proves who was at fault, documents every dollar of your loss, and pursues the maximum compensation your broken bone injury claim will support. Here is how we go to work for you.
Investigating the Accident
We start by finding out exactly what happened. Our team gathers police reports, photos, video, and scene evidence before it disappears. Strong proof of fault is the basis of every winning broken bone injury claim.
Gathering Medical and Expert Evidence
Your medical records tell the story of your injury. We collect your X-rays, scans, and doctor’s notes, and we bring in medical experts who can explain the full effect of your fracture to an insurer or a jury.
Calculating Current and Future Damages
A broken bone often costs far more than the first hospital bill. Our attorneys add up your current losses and your future needs, from repeat surgeries to lost earning power, so no part of your harm goes unpaid.
Negotiating With Insurance Companies
Insurance companies protect their own bottom line, not you. We handle every call and every offer, and our team pushes back hard on any amount that fails to cover the true value of your injury.
Representing You at Trial
Most claims settle, but some do not. When an insurer refuses to be fair, we are ready to take your case to court and present it to a jury. That readiness alone often lifts the final offer.
What Accidents Commonly Cause Broken Bones?
Fractures happen in many kinds of accidents across Manhattan, from busy streets to job sites and store floors. When someone else's careless act caused your fall or crash, Davidoff Law can help you seek compensation for it.
Car Accidents
The force of a crash can snap bones in your arms, legs, ribs, and hips. Speeding, distracted, and drunk drivers cause many of these fractures on New York roads every year.
Slip and Fall Accidents
A wet floor, broken step, or icy sidewalk can send you down hard. These falls often break wrists, ankles, and hips, and property owners can be held responsible for the danger they allow to exist.
Construction Accidents
Building sites are full of falls, falling objects, and heavy machinery. Workers and passersby can suffer severe fractures, and New York labor laws give injured people strong protection in many of these cases.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
People on foot and on bikes have little to shield them from a moving vehicle. A single strike can cause several broken bones and a long, painful recovery.
Workplace Accidents
Job injuries reach far beyond construction sites. Falls, machine accidents, and heavy lifting can fracture bones in nearly any workplace, and you may have a claim beyond basic workers' compensation.
What Types of Broken Bone Injuries Can Lead to a Personal Injury Claim?
Almost any fracture can support a claim when someone else caused it. The following broken bone injuries often lead to a personal injury case in Manhattan:
- Simple and Compound Fractures: A simple fracture stays inside the skin, while a compound fracture breaks through it. Compound breaks carry a higher risk of infection and often need surgery.
- Hip and Pelvic Fractures: These serious breaks are common in falls and vehicle crashes. They frequently require surgery and long rehabilitation, especially for older adults.
- Arm, Wrist, and Hand Fractures: People often break these bones trying to catch themselves during a fall. Such injuries can limit your ability to work and handle daily tasks.
- Leg, Ankle, and Foot Fractures: Breaks in the lower body can keep you off your feet for months. Many need pins, plates, or repeat surgeries to heal.
- Facial and Skull Fractures: A blow to the head can fracture facial bones or the skull. These injuries are serious and can come with lasting damage.
Who Can Be Held Liable for a Broken Bone Injury?
Liability depends on who acted carelessly and caused your fracture. More than one party may share the blame. Our team looks at every angle so each responsible person or company pays their fair share of your losses.
Negligent Drivers
A driver who speeds, runs a light, or stares at a phone can be held responsible for the broken bones they cause in a crash.
Property Owners
Owners must keep their spaces reasonably safe. When a known hazard like a broken stair or wet floor breaks your bone, the owner may owe you compensation.
Employers and Third Parties
On a job site, an employer, contractor, or equipment company may share fault. New York law often lets injured workers pursue claims against these outside parties.
Product Manufacturers
Sometimes a faulty product causes the injury. A defective ladder, brake, or machine can make its maker liable for the fractures that follow.
What Compensation Can You Recover After a Broken Bone Injury?
A fracture creates costs that reach into your future. New York law lets you recover money for both your financial losses and your personal suffering. Davidoff Law fights to include every category below in your broken bone injury claim.
Medical Expenses
You can recover the cost of your care, including your emergency room visit, surgery, hospital stay, medication, and physical therapy.
Lost Wages and Future Income Loss
If your fracture kept you from working, you can claim your lost wages. You can also seek payment when the injury lowers what you are able to earn going forward.
Pain and Suffering
The law recognizes that a broken bone hurts in ways beyond the bills. You can recover pain and suffering for the physical pain and the emotional strain you carry.
Permanent Disability or Disfigurement
Some fractures never fully heal. When you are left with a lasting limp, scar, or loss of use, that permanent harm raises the value of your claim.
Future Medical Care
Many broken bones need care for years. You can seek payment for future surgeries, therapy, and follow-up treatment tied to your injury.

How Do New York Laws Affect Broken Bone Injury Claims?
A few New York laws shape almost every broken bone injury claim. Under CPLR 214, you generally have three years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss that deadline, the court can throw out your case for good.
Under CPLR 1411, New York follows pure comparative negligence. That means you can still recover money even if you were partly at fault, though your share of the blame reduces your award.
One more rule matters when a car crash caused your fracture. Under Insurance Law 5102(d), you can pursue pain and suffering only if your injury meets the serious injury threshold, and a bone fracture is one of the injuries that qualifies. Because these rules are strict, calling a Manhattan broken bones injury lawyer early protects your rights.
What Evidence Can Strengthen a Broken Bone Injury Claim?
Strong evidence turns a broken bone injury claim into a strong case. Our team gathers and preserves the proof that matters most, including:
- X-Rays, CT Scans, and MRI Results: Imaging shows the exact break and proves how serious your injury really is.
- Medical Records and Physician Opinions: Your treatment notes and your doctor's opinion link the fracture directly to the accident.
- Accident Reports and Photographs: Official reports and clear photos capture how and where the injury happened.
- Witness Statements: People who saw the event can confirm your account and pin down fault.
- Expert Medical Testimony: Medical experts explain your long-term needs and the true cost of your injury to a jury.
Can Families File a Wrongful Death Claim After a Fatal Accident?
Yes. When a serious fracture or its complications take a loved one's life, New York's Estates, Powers and Trusts Law 5-4.1 lets the family pursue a wrongful death claim. This claim must be filed within two years of the date of death, so acting soon matters.
Who Can Bring a Wrongful Death Lawsuit
New York law gives this right to the personal representative of the person who died, usually named through the estate. The recovery is then shared among the surviving family members who depended on your loved one.
