Elite Personal Injury Representation in Mott Haven
At HKD, we understand the tight-knit, fast-moving character of Mott Haven and what makes injury claims here unique. From bustling intersections near the Bruckner Expressway to crowded MTA platforms, we’re the trusted personal injury firm New Yorkers count on to deliver results, right here in the Bronx.
Personal Injury Claims Are Different in Mott Haven
Mott Haven’s dense urban environment—full of elevated train lines, industrial zones, high-rise apartments, and busy crosswalks—creates unique hazards for pedestrians, drivers, and workers alike. Construction sites dot the landscape, and the mix of residential and commercial properties often complicates liability.
Local cases are typically heard in Bronx County Supreme Court, where timelines and jury outcomes can vary. Witness availability, video surveillance from storefronts, and city records all play a role in successful claims. That’s why working with a firm that understands the nuances of building cases in Mott Haven and throughout the Bronx is critical.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Mott Haven
We represent clients in a wide range of injury claims, including:
Car Accidents
Our car accident lawyers fight for drivers and passengers injured along congested corridors like the Major Deegan Expressway, Bruckner Boulevard, and E. 138th Street. From fender benders caused by stop-and-go traffic to high-speed crashes near highway on-ramps, we understand how to investigate these collisions and secure full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Truck Accidents
Mott Haven’s proximity to commercial corridors, warehouses, and delivery depots means large trucks constantly enter and exit neighborhood streets. These heavy vehicles pose a serious threat to smaller cars, pedestrians, and cyclists, especially during early morning or late-night deliveries. When truck drivers are fatigued, distracted, or when companies violate load restrictions or maintenance rules, catastrophic crashes can occur, which is where our truck accident lawyers can help.
Construction Accidents
Construction is a constant in Mott Haven, but job site safety often takes a back seat. Workers face dangers like falls from scaffolds, electrocutions, falling debris, and equipment malfunctions. We pursue third-party liability claims beyond workers’ compensation, including against negligent contractors, property owners, and equipment manufacturers. If your injuries occurred on a construction site along Alexander Avenue, East 134th Street, or in a residential high-rise, our construction accident lawyers can help.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Sidewalk defects, wet or icy walkways, and poorly maintained apartment building entrances are common causes of serious falls in Mott Haven. Whether you slipped on an uncleared path near a subway entrance, tripped over uneven concrete outside a bodega, or fell in a neglected stairwell, our slip and fall lawyers can help determine if a landlord, store owner, or city agency is liable.
Pedestrian Injuries
Busy intersections near St. Mary’s Park, Lincoln Avenue, and Third Avenue see high foot traffic – and unfortunately, frequent pedestrian accidents. Drivers who fail to yield, speed through red lights, or make unsafe turns at crosswalks put pedestrians at serious risk. If you were hit by a vehicle while walking in Mott Haven, our pedestrian accident lawyers will fight to recover every dollar you deserve.
Motorcycle Accidents
Mott Haven’s narrow lanes, poorly maintained road surfaces, and aggressive traffic make it a high-risk area for motorcyclists. Potholes, sudden dooring incidents, and inattentive drivers all contribute to collisions. We know how to prove fault, even when insurance companies try to blame the motorcyclists and our motorcycle accident attorneys pursue full compensation for your physical, emotional, and financial recovery.
MTA / Subway / Bus Accidents
Mott Haven is a public transportation hub with the 138th Street-Grand Concourse station, Cypress Avenue station, and multiple BX bus lines. Unfortunately, transit-related injuries – from subway platform falls, train door malfunctions, and bus collisions – are all too common. Because claims involving the MTA or City of New York have strict notice requirements, acting quickly is critical. Our MTA accident lawyers are experienced in navigating municipal liability and advocating for injured riders.
Brain & Spine Injuries
Injuries involving the brain or spinal cord can permanently change a person’s life. These types of trauma often arise from falls, vehicle crashes, or construction incidents, and they demand both immediate and long-term care. We work closely with medical experts to calculate the full recovery cost, including rehabilitation, mobility devices, and loss of future income. If you or a loved one sustained a TBI or spinal injury in Mott Haven, our brain injury lawyers and spine injury lawyers are here to protect your future.
Wrongful Death
Losing someone suddenly in a preventable accident is devastating. Whether your loved one died in a car crash on the Major Deegan, a fall on a construction site, or a violent collision involving a city vehicle, our wrongful death attorneys are here to support your family through this painful time. We handle wrongful death cases with the respect, dignity, and persistence they deserve, pursuing justice for medical costs, lost support, funeral expenses, and emotional grief.
