How were you injured?

New York City Nassau County Suffolk County

$2,200,000

Our client went to work on a Manhattan construction site expecting to earn a living, not to end up in a hospital bed. But dangerous conditions at the job site turned an ordinary workday into a life-changing event. The injuries were serious. The pain was real. And the people responsible for maintaining a safe workplace had failed. Construction accidents are not just statistics. Behind every one of them is a person who trusted that the site would be safe, a family waiting for them to come home, and a life that will never look quite the same. New York Labor Law exists for exactly this reason, to protect the men and women who build this city, and when contractors and property owners ignore those protections, there have to be consequences.

Ronald Ingber and Jeffrey Siler launched an aggressive investigation from day one. We retained engineering experts, documented every violation, and built a case that left no room for the defense to hide. When the parties responsible realized we were not going away and that a courtroom was the next stop, they came to the table. $2.2 million secured for our client. Not because it was handed to us. Because we fought for it.

$400,000

A routine drive on I-495 ended in an instant when a tractor trailer collided with our client’s vehicle. One moment everything was normal, and next our client was dealing with serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and the terrifying uncertainty of not knowing what comes next. That is the reality of a trucking accident. It does not just damage your car. It damages your life. Trucking cases are different animals. The companies behind these rigs have billion-dollar insurers, experienced defense teams, and adjusters trained to minimize every claim before the dust even settles. They preserve evidence selectively, they dispute injuries aggressively, and they count on injured people not having the resources to fight back. They did not count on Gina Hatami. Gina took this case into the Eastern District Federal Court, navigated complex federal litigation procedures, and built a solid case. When the defense saw the case we had assembled, they knew a jury was not going to be kind. $400,000 secured. Justice delivered.

$200,000

Our client was a passenger. Not driving. Not at fault. Just riding along when two negligent drivers collided and changed everything. That is the cruel reality of being a passenger in a serious accident. You have done absolutely nothing wrong, and yet you are the one left dealing with the injuries, the doctor visits, and the pain that follows you home every night. Jeffrey Miller pursued both policies independently, negotiated against both carriers simultaneously, and refused to leave a single dollar on the table. The result speaks for itself $100,000 recovered from each policy, $200,000 total for our client. Maximizing recovery is not just a slogan at Siler & Ingber. It is a commitment. We look at every case from every angle because our clients deserve nothing less.

$300,000

Nobody wakes up thinking they are going to get seriously hurt doing laundry. But that is exactly what happened to our client in Kings County. Unsafe conditions at a local laundromat caused an accident that left our client with real injuries and real consequences, the kind that follow you around long after the incident. Property owners in NYC have a legal obligation to keep their premises safe. That is not a suggestion. It is the law. And when they fail, when they ignore hazards, skip maintenance, or look the other way while dangerous conditions fester, the people who get hurt deserve to be compensated. Ronald Ingber took this case and went to work. Ron conducted a thorough investigation of the premises, identified the failures, gathered the evidence the defense did not want us to find, and built a case that made it clear this was not an accident that just happened. This was an accident that was allowed to happen. $300,000 secured. Accountability delivered.

$300,000

There is no pain quite like the pain a parent feels when their child is hurt, especially when that child was supposed to be safe. Our client’s child was at a therapy center in New York County, a place staffed by trained professionals, a place where supervision is not optional, it is the entire point. And yet the aides responsible for watching over this child failed, and that child fell and was injured. A child entrusted to professionals and let down by the very people who were supposed to protect them.

Cases involving injured children carry a weight that goes beyond dollars and legal arguments. These are cases about trust, about accountability, and about making sure a child’s future is not defined by someone else’s failure. New York law recognizes this, which is why settlements involving minors require court approval to ensure the child’s best interests are protected every step of the way.

Gina Hatami handled this case with the combination of fierce advocacy and genuine compassion that it demanded. Gina fought for this family as if they were her own, building a case that documented exactly what went wrong, why it should never have happened, and what this child and family need to go forward. $300,000 secured to support this child’s recovery and future.

$350,000

Our client was driving in Nassau County when a pickup truck slammed into the back of their vehicle. No warning. No time to react. Just the sudden, violent impact of a rear-end collision that sent shockwaves through our client’s body and through their life. Here is what happens next in almost every rear-end case, the insurance company shows up, calls it a minor accident, questions whether you are really hurt, and offers you a fraction of what your claim is actually worth. They are banking on the fact that you are in pain, overwhelmed, and desperate enough to take whatever they put on the table. That is their business model. Jeffrey Siler was not having it and made it crystal clear that the next conversation would be in front of a jury. $350,000 secured. The insurance company’s playbook did not work. Ours did.

$950,000

Our client was attacked by a dog in Suffolk County and suffered serious, lasting injuries. Not a nip. Not a scratch. A violent attack that left deep wounds, scarring, nerve damage, and the kind of emotional trauma that does not fade when the bandages come off. There is a misconception out there that dog bite cases are minor, that they are not real personal injury cases. That could not be further from the truth. Dog attacks cause disfigurement, chronic pain, surgical scars, and post-traumatic stress that can make a person afraid to walk down their own street. The physical injuries are only half the story. The psychological toll, the nightmares, the anxiety, the fear that grips you every time you see a dog, that is the other half, and it is just as real.

Ronald Ingber took this case and treated it exactly the way it deserved to be treated as a serious, life altering personal injury matter. When the defense tried to minimize what happened, Ron made sure the evidence told a different story. $950,000 secured. Nearly one million dollars for a dog bite case. Because that is what it was worth, and that is what our client deserved.

$400,000

Our client was struck by a snowplow and suffered significant injuries. Think about that for a moment. A piece of heavy commercial equipment, designed to clear roads, instead became the thing that caused the damage. When snowplow operators are careless, when they fail to check their surroundings, when they operate heavy machinery without regard for the people around them, the consequences are not fender benders. They are serious. Snowplow cases come with their own set of legal hurdles. Depending on who operates the plow, you may be dealing with a municipality, a government contractor, or a private snow removal company. Each comes with different procedural requirements, notice of claim deadlines, and statutory immunities that can derail a case before it even gets started. You need attorneys who know the terrain. Jeffrey Siler knows the terrain. Jeff identified the liable parties, navigated every procedural obstacle including the emergency doctrine, and built a case that cut through the noise. $400,000 secured. Obstacles cleared. Justice delivered.

$100,000

Our client was stopped at a red light in the Town of Huntington. Completely stationary. Following every rule of the road. And then, out of nowhere, another driver crashed into the back of their vehicle. The liability could not have been more straightforward. Our client did nothing wrong. The other driver was entirely at fault. You would think a case like this would be simple. You would be wrong. Even with clear liability, the insurance company deployed every trick in the book. They questioned the severity of the injuries. They sent our client to their own handpicked doctor hoping for a favorable report. They pointed to pre-existing conditions that had nothing to do with this crash. They made lowball offers and hoped our client would just go away. Ronald Ingber does not let clients just go away. Ron built a damages case brick by brick, documenting every treatment, every way this collision affected our client’s daily life. He made it clear to the carrier that we were prepared to walk into a courtroom and let a jury decide, and juries on Long Island do not look kindly at insurance companies that play games with injured people. $100,000 policy secured. Every dollar earned.
