Proven Success on Behalf of Injured People

Andrew L. Weitz & Associates, P.C., in New York City
The personal injury law firm of Andrew L. Weitz & Associates, P.C., is no less powerful for being a small law practice.

We argued successfully that the city of New York violated state regulations and its own safety plan when it failed to post "shallow water" signs on the pier. Read more …
Although our lawyers have special experience bringing successful legal claims against the city and counties of New York, recreational accidents also arise on private property. Whenever someone is injured in a swimming pool accident, a boating accident, on an ATV, or while engaging in any recreational activity, a personal injury lawsuit may be a possible way to recover compensation for past financial losses and future financial needs.
