You Pay Nothing Until We win
Contingency representation means I take the financial risk, not you. There are no upfront fees, no hourly charges, and no cost to you unless we recover money on your behalf. My fee comes out of the settlement or verdict — and only if we win.
That structure keeps me accountable. I only take cases I believe in, and I fight to maximize every recovery because my outcome depends on yours.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a personal injury case worth pursuing?
If you were injured because of someone else's negligence — a property owner, a driver, a contractor, an employer — you likely have a claim worth evaluating. The free case review costs you nothing and takes minutes. After 30 years and hundreds of cases, I can tell you quickly where you stand and what your options are.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in the Bronx?
Nothing upfront. Gottfried Law Group works on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict — if we don't win, you owe nothing.
What should I do immediately after an accident in New York?
Seek medical attention first — your health and your medical records are both critical. Document the scene if you can: photographs, witness names, and any incident reports. Then contact an attorney before speaking with any insurance company. What you say in the days after an accident can affect your case significantly.
Can I still file a claim if the accident happened months ago?
Possibly, but time is a factor. New York's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally three years from the date of injury — but certain cases, including claims against the City of New York, have much shorter notice requirements. Contact us as soon as possible to make sure your rights are protected.
Do you handle cases in Spanish?
Yes. We provide full legal consultations and case handling in both English and Spanish. If you or a family member is more comfortable speaking Spanish, call us — we will communicate with you in the language you prefer throughout your case.
What kinds of settlements has Gottfried Law Group obtained?
Recent verified results include a $4,200,000 settlement in 2023, a $2,950,000 settlement in 2026, and a $1,500,000 result in a prior matter. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes, but they reflect the caliber of cases we handle and the results we pursue for every client.
