As a personal injury lawyer for almost 25 years in the New York area, I cannot stress enough the importance of seeking out a competent and experienced personal injury attorney, if you, a family member or friend has been involved in an accident, whether it is motor vehicle related; a slip/trip and fall on a sidewalk or in a building; or injured at construction site or on the job.  My firm, Law Offices of Nussin S. Fogel, has successfully represented personal injury accident victims with dedication, skill and compassion.  Our record of accomplishment is not accident.  Every case is fully investigated, leaving no stone unturned.  Because all our cases are so well prepared, we are not at the mercy of the insurance company.  This enables us to prosecute our cases and negotiate settlements for our clients from a position of strength and not weakness.  But more than that, we understand that we do not just represent a client, we represent a person, who needs a place to turn to for help and guidance from the very moment the accident occurs, whether with regard to medical issues, lost income or out-of-pocket expenses.  Of course, we measure success by the monetary outcome achieved for the client.  But also, by the gratification we feel from helping the client along the way.
