At Stephen Bilkis & Associates, we focus on representing clients who have been injured due to the negligence of others. Our experienced Bronx personal injury lawyers are here to help you navigate the legal process, protect your rights, and pursue maximum compensation for your injuries.

We handle a wide range of personal injury cases, including:

• Car Accidents: Car accidents are one of the most common causes of serious injuries in the Bronx. Our team has extensive experience handling cases involving rear-end collisions, intersection accidents, DUI crashes, and pedestrian accidents. We conduct thorough investigations, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and take cases to trial when necessary. Our goal is to secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
• Truck Accidents: Large commercial trucks can cause severe damage in collisions due to their size and weight. Our team represents clients who have been injured in truck accidents caused by driver fatigue, improper maintenance, overloaded trucks, or reckless driving. We investigate all aspects of the accident, including driver logs, maintenance records, and black box data.
• Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists are at greater risk of severe injuries due to their lack of protection. Our experienced Bronx personal injury lawyers handle cases where motorcyclists have been injured due to negligent drivers, unsafe road conditions, or defective motorcycle parts. We fight to secure compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
• Slip and Fall Accidents: Property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises. When they fail to do so, serious slip and fall accidents can occur. We represent clients who have been injured due to hazardous conditions on sidewalks, wet floors, broken stairs, and inadequate lighting. We work to establish liability by proving that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition.
• Construction Accidents: The Bronx is known for its busy construction sites, which can be dangerous for workers and bystanders. We represent clients who have been injured in falls from scaffolding, equipment accidents, electrical injuries, and other workplace incidents. Our firm has a strong understanding of New York Labor Law, including Sections 200, 240, and 241, which protect construction workers.
• Medical Malpractice: Patients trust healthcare providers with their well-being, but medical mistakes can lead to serious injuries or even death. Our lawyers represent clients who have suffered due to misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence. We work with medical experts to build strong cases.
• Wrongful Death: Losing a loved one due to someone else's negligence is a devastating experience. We help families pursue justice through wrongful death claims. Our attorneys provide compassionate support while fighting for compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and other damages.
• Dog Bites: Dog attacks can cause serious injuries, including lacerations, infections, and permanent scarring. We help victims of dog bites hold negligent owners accountable under New York’s strict liability rules. Our attorneys work to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and emotional trauma.
• Workers' Compensation: If you have been injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. We help injured workers file claims, appeal denied claims, and pursue maximum benefits. Our team also identifies situations where a third-party claim may be appropriate, such as when a defective product or another contractor caused the injury.
