Personal Injury Lawyer Bronx, NY
Injured in the Bronx? Talk to David Beck — For Free.
Nobody plans on getting hurt. But in the Bronx — on Fordham Road during the evening rush, on Willis Avenue in the South Bronx, on the approach to the Throgs Neck Bridge, or on a construction site in Morrisania — accidents happen every day to people who did nothing wrong. A careless driver, an unsafe property, a job site that cut corners — someone else’s negligence caused your injury, and New York law entitles you to compensation. Beck Law is here to get it for you.
Attorney David Beck has recovered over $40 million for injured New Yorkers and has represented personal injury clients in every neighborhood of the Bronx. He knows Bronx County Supreme Court. He knows how the insurance carriers that handle Bronx claims operate. And he knows that the first offer is never the fair offer.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle Across Every Bronx Neighborhood
In Fordham, Fordham Road is one of the busiest and most dangerous commercial corridors in the Bronx. Pedestrian knockdowns, T-bone collisions at major intersections, and slip-and-fall incidents on poorly maintained sidewalks are the cases we handle most often from this area. The volume of commercial traffic — buses, delivery trucks, rideshare vehicles — on Fordham Road means many accidents involve multiple potentially liable parties beyond just the at-fault driver, and Beck Law investigates all of them.
In the South Bronx, Willis Avenue and 3rd Avenue are flagged by the NYPD as High Injury Network streets — roads that account for a disproportionate share of serious injury accidents across the entire borough. Car accident cases from the South Bronx involving these corridors carry a built-in argument: the dangerous road conditions are documented by the city itself, and that documentation supports your claim. Kingsbridge‘s Broadway and Kingsbridge Avenue intersections near the 1 train are another consistent source of serious car accident cases, particularly pedestrian knockdowns during peak commuting hours when foot traffic around the elevated train stations is at its highest.
Parkchester is a densely populated residential community where high pedestrian volume on Westchester Avenue and Metropolitan Avenue leads to frequent crosswalk accidents and slip-and-fall incidents on sidewalks and in building lobbies. If you were hurt in Parkchester at a business, on a sidewalk, or at a residential building, the property owner’s duty to maintain safe conditions creates a viable premises liability claim that Beck Law knows how to build. Morrisania‘s ongoing infrastructure and residential construction along Boston Road and Intervale Avenue generates both car accident hazards from construction zone traffic disruption and construction worker injury claims under New York’s Labor Law 240 and 241.
Throgs Neck sits at the foot of two major bridge approaches, and the on and off-ramps to the Throgs Neck Bridge create high-speed merging conditions that produce some of the Bronx’s most severe collision injuries. Our Throgs Neck clients frequently suffer spinal injuries and traumatic brain injuries from the speed differential involved in these accidents. Pelham Bay‘s Pelham Parkway intersections and the traffic surrounding the park are a consistent source of personal injury claims — from car accidents at the Pelham Parkway and White Plains Road intersection to premises liability cases at park facilities and commercial properties along the corridor.
From Fordham and South Bronx to Kingsbridge, Morrisania, Parkchester, Throgs Neck, and Pelham Bay — Beck Law represents personal injury victims in every Bronx neighborhood with the same commitment: investigate fully, document completely, fight until we recover everything you are owed.
What Compensation Can You Recover in a Bronx Personal Injury Case?
Economic damages – the financial losses you’ve already suffered and will suffer
- All medical bills: emergency room, surgery, specialist care, physical therapy, future treatment
- Lost wages from time out of work during recovery
- Lost future earning capacity if your injury affects your long-term ability to work
- Out-of-pocket expenses: transportation to appointments, prescription costs, home care
Non-economic damages – what the injury has cost you beyond the dollar amounts
- Pain and suffering – the physical pain caused by your injury and its ongoing treatment
- Emotional distress – anxiety, depression, and PTSD are compensable consequences of serious accidents
- Loss of enjoyment of life – activities, hobbies, and relationships affected by your injury
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
New York's Comparative Negligence Rule - You Can Recover Even If Partly at Fault
New York follows pure comparative negligence. Even if you were partly responsible for the accident — even significantly — your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, never eliminated. Insurance companies routinely try to inflate your fault percentage to reduce what they pay. Beck Law pushes back against those arguments at every stage of the claim.
Statute of Limitations for Bronx Personal Injury Claims
- Standard personal injury — 3 years from the date of injury under CPLR §214.
- Claims against New York City — Notice of Claim required within 90 days of the incident.
- Wrongful death — 2 years from the date of death.
- Injuries to minors — statute may be tolled until the minor turns 18.
Missing a deadline means permanently losing your right to recover. If your injury happened anywhere in the Bronx — in Fordham, Parkchester, South Bronx, or Pelham Bay — call Beck Law immediately and do not wait.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does a Bronx personal injury case take?
Straightforward cases settle in 6–12 months. Cases involving serious injuries, disputed liability, or courtroom litigation can take 2–3 years. Beck Law keeps you fully informed throughout and never settles fast at the expense of full value.
I slipped on an icy Fordham Road sidewalk. Who's liable?
Under NYC Administrative Code, property owners are responsible for maintaining the sidewalks in front of their buildings. If it was city-owned property, the city may be liable — but the 90-day Notice of Claim deadline applies. Call immediately.
I was hurt in a Parkchester apartment building. Do I have a case?
Building owners and managers owe tenants and visitors a duty to maintain safe conditions. Broken stairs, poor lighting, defective elevators, and unsecured common areas can all support a premises liability claim. Beck Law investigates all of it.
Will I have to go to court?
Probably not. Most cases settle before trial — we’d estimate over 90% of ours do. But we prepare every case as if we’re going to trial, which is exactly why insurance companies tend to take our clients’ claims seriously at the negotiating table.
Can I afford a personal injury lawyer?
Beck Law works on a contingency fee basis. We get paid only when we recover money for you — zero upfront costs, no retainer, no legal bills of any kind unless we win. The consultation is always free.
What if the Bronx accident involved a city bus or MTA vehicle?
Claims against the MTA or NYC require a Notice of Claim filed within 90 days of the accident. Miss that window and you lose your right to sue. Call Beck Law the same day your accident happens if government vehicles are involved.
