Has an Unexpected Accident Disrupted Your Life?
When an accident occurs, it always seems to come at the absolute worst time. Really, there is no good time to get injured from an accident. Ultimately, anything else that is going on in your life now has to come to a complete halt in order to deal with this new adversity. It can be especially frustrating when the injury occurs at no fault of your own.
Along with the physical pain a personal injury brings, there are new financial and emotional burdens to contend with. Will I recover from my injury? How long will that take? Will I be able to work? How will I pay my expenses if I am not able to work? Am I going to be able to pay all these medical bills? Is this injury going to affect my future?
You don’t need to face these challenges alone.
Indeed, numerous individuals have encountered similar circumstances in the past. It is crucial to enlist a competent group of legal professionals who can assist in recuperating, easing, and providing compensation for the extensive damages caused by this unforeseen hardship.

justice they deserve.
Two decades ago, Steven Palermo began his legal practice with one objective: to help those in need obtain the justice they deserve. It was not long before he was taking on huge corporations and billion-dollar insurance companies, fighting for just that.
Early on, he learned that the field of personal injury law was one that required laser focus – it was the only way to navigate the huge companies who viewed his clients as nothing but a number on a page, but had seemingly limitless resources to fight against paying them what they deserved. Steven has since devoted all his efforts to the aggressive practice of personal injury litigation, and it is a strategy that works. He has helped hundreds of clients regain their lives after devastating personal injuries.

“...cannot be happier with our decision!”
Steven Palermo was referred to us from a friend and I cannot be happier with our decision. He worked hard to obtain a settlement to compensate for pain I had to undergo as a result of an accident. I will continue to refer anyone in need of a car accident attorney to this office! Thanks Palermo for everything!

TRIAL READY STRATEGY
Most lawsuits are settled out of court at some point before a trial. Many New York personal injury lawyers don’t fully prepare their cases for trial when anticipating a settlement. As a result, this weakens their position when it comes time to negotiate. At Palermo Law, we always fully prepare every claim as if it is going to trial. This level of preparation gives us the leverage to negotiate the highest possible compensation for our clients and puts us in a strong position should a trial become necessary.
FOCUSED ON HELPING THE INJURED
We realize that being really well versed in any one area of law takes focus. New York personal injury law is no exception. Because of this, our New York personal injury lawyers only handle injury cases. Steven Palermo, our managing partner, has been exclusively handling accident cases for the last two decades. Our focus includes cases such as car collisions, slip and falls and work related accidents. We have never represented an insurance company and we never will. Ultimately, we do what we do because we love helping people.
