The Bronx, NY · Bronx County
Bronx Personal Injury Lawyer
If you were hurt in an accident in the Bronx, Peretz Law Firm PLLC is here to help. We represent people injured in car crashes, truck accidents, rideshare collisions, e-bike and e-scooter crashes, bike and motorcycle wrecks, pedestrian accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, and construction accidents across Bronx County. Injury lawsuits from the Bronx are filed in Bronx County Supreme Court at 851 Grand Concourse, and we know how cases move through that courthouse. The Bronx is a dense borough with old expressways, constant truck traffic, and heavy foot and bike traffic on streets like the Grand Concourse, so the crashes here are often serious. When that happens, you want someone who will actually pick up the phone and help.
Common accident locations in The Bronx
Cross Bronx Expressway
The Cross Bronx Expressway is one of the most dangerous stretches of road in the city. It funnels I-95 freight traffic across the borough, and the tight merges, aging ramps, and constant congestion lead to frequent rear-end and multi-vehicle crashes that put people in the hospital.
Grand Concourse
The Grand Concourse is a wide, multi-lane boulevard that runs the spine of the Bronx. Its long blocks and busy signalized intersections create real risk for pedestrians and cyclists, and it has been flagged as a Vision Zero priority area by the city.
Bruckner Boulevard / Major Deegan
Bruckner Boulevard and the approaches to the Major Deegan Expressway carry heavy commercial and delivery truck traffic, much of it feeding the Hunts Point market. When a fully loaded truck hits a car, a bike, or a person on foot, the injuries are rarely minor.
Your rights under New York law
In New York, you generally have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. New York uses pure comparative negligence, which means you can recover money even if you were partly, or mostly, at fault, with your award reduced by your share of the blame. After a car crash you must file a no-fault claim within 30 days, and you can sue for pain and suffering if your injury is serious. If your case is against the city, the MTA, or another public agency, you usually have only 90 days to file a notice of claim, so it is worth talking to a lawyer quickly. E-bikes matter here too. Since October 24, 2025, New York City caps e-bikes at 15 mph citywide, and a device built to go faster than its class allows can legally count as a moped, which changes who is responsible and what insurance applies.
Cases Peretz Law Firm PLLC handles in The Bronx
Car accidents
Crashes on the Cross Bronx, the Major Deegan, and busy surface streets like Fordham Road happen every day. We handle no-fault claims and serious-injury lawsuits.
Truck accidents
The Bronx carries some of the heaviest truck traffic in the city, especially around Hunts Point. We pursue the driver, the trucking company, and their insurers.
Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) accidents
Whether you were a passenger, another driver, or a pedestrian, rideshare crashes raise tricky insurance questions, and we sort out which policy covers your injuries.
E-bike and e-scooter accidents
With the new citywide speed rules, these cases turn on the class of the device and how it was being ridden. We handle crashes whether you were riding or were struck.
Bicycle and motorcycle accidents
Bronx corridors mix bikes and motorcycles with fast multi-lane traffic and trucks. We represent riders hurt in those conflicts.
Pedestrian accidents
On streets like the Grand Concourse, people on foot are exposed at every crossing. We handle pedestrian injury claims, including hit-and-run cases.
Slip and fall / premises liability
From poorly maintained buildings to icy walkways and broken stairs, we hold property owners accountable when neglect causes injury.
Dog bite injuries
Under New York law, an owner can be liable when a dog with known dangerous tendencies hurts someone. We help you recover for medical costs and more.
Construction accidents / NY Scaffold Law
The Bronx is building fast. New York Labor Law 240, the Scaffold Law, gives strong protection to workers hurt in falls and falling-object accidents, and we handle those claims.
Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in the Bronx, NY?
In the Bronx, you generally have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York. If your claim is against New York City, the MTA, or another public agency, you usually must file a notice of claim within 90 days and sue within one year and 90 days. After a Bronx car accident you also have only 30 days to file a no-fault claim, so it is best to act quickly.
What should I do after an e-bike crash in the Bronx?
After an e-bike crash in the Bronx, get medical care, report the crash, and write down the make and class of the e-bike if you can. Since October 24, 2025, New York City caps e-bikes at 15 mph, and a device that goes faster than its class allows may legally count as a moped that needs registration and insurance. That detail can decide who is responsible, so it helps to have a lawyer review your Bronx e-bike case early.
