The Fitzgerald Law Firm
New York Personal Injury Lawyers

People are injured every day in New York, and many of these injuries are the fault of someone else's negligence, recklessness or even intentional conduct. When these situations arise, those who have been wrongfully harmed need to stand up and enforce their legal rights for many reasons. One of the first steps anyone who's been wrongfully injured should take is to seek the help of experienced personal injury lawyers who have decades of experience in holding those who violate the rights of others accountable.

The Fitzgerald Law Firm is a New York firm of injury lawyers who have this precise background of success. The Fitzgerald Lawyers have been helping their clients obtain justice for over 40 years, and over that time the firm has provided critical legal guidance to those who needed it in many different contexts. Below are just a few examples of how we work.
Medical Malpractice

One of the most troubling aspects of personal injury law is that which involves mistakes made by medical care providers. When such a circumstance arises, those who have been wronged can suffer for the rest of their lives or even lose their lives as a result. Medical professionals need to be held to the same standards as anyone else, which is why the medical malpractice lawyers at The Fitzgerald Lawyers have been fighting relentlessly for their clients who have found themselves in these situations through no fault of their own for so many years.
Birth Injury

Perhaps the most emotionally-scarring aspect of medical malpractice law involves birth injuries. A human is never more vulnerable to harm than when he or she is being born, and when something goes wrong it can lead to a lifetime of undeserved consequences for both the child and the parents. Even common and seemingly minor mistakes can prove catastrophic, and the birth injury lawyers at The Fitzgerald Lawyers have been holding those who cause this unspeakable harm accountable since opening the firm's doors for the first time.
Lead Paint Poisoning

There many examples involving the most harmful substances to people wreaking havoc on their lives without those who are ultimately harmed having any way of realizing what was happening. One such example is that of lead poisoning, which can occur because of negligent landlords, municipal entities and manufacturers of this lead paint. Lead paint exposure is especially harmful to children, and anyone who has suffered as a result of this problem needs to secure the help of the injury lawyers at The Fitzgerald Law Firm immediately.
The Fitzgerald Law Firm ? Everyone is Welcome

The personal injury lawyers at The Fitzgerald Law Firm do not think that issues such as economic standing, country of origin or preferred language should ever be barriers to justice. That's why the firm welcomes those who speak Spanish if they need legal help. The reality is that a substantial segment of the population of New York speaks Spanish, and the firm is here to make sure that the staff is able to easily communicate so that the legal help they need is provided in a context that's comfortable and familiar.
