Personal Injury Lawyer in New York & New Jersey

Personal Injury Attorneys serving New Jersey & New York

When someone else’s negligence changes your life, you deserve a team that fights to make it right. Miletti Law P.C. handles the full spectrum of personal injury claims — from everyday accidents to complex litigation.


Injured Through No Fault of Your Own?

Personal injury law exists to hold negligent parties accountable and to ensure that victims — not insurance companies — come first. Whether you’ve been hurt in a car crash, on someone’s property, or by a defective product, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Our team brings over 15 years of New York and New Jersey legal experience to every case, with deep knowledge of local courts, judges, and procedures.

Important: New York is a No-Fault State New York requires drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance, meaning your own insurer covers initial medical costs regardless of who caused the accident. However, you may still file a personal injury lawsuit if your injuries meet the legal threshold of “serious injury” — including significant disfigurement, fractures, permanent limitation, or substantial impairment. We’ll assess your situation and advise you on the best path forward.


Car Accidents

Car accidents are among the most common causes of serious injury in New York. Even when fault seems clear, insurance companies work quickly to minimize payouts. We work just as quickly to protect your rights and pursue the full compensation you’re owed.

Truck Accidents

Collisions involving commercial trucks, tractor-trailers, and delivery vehicles often result in severe injuries due to their size and weight. These cases can involve multiple liable parties — the driver, the trucking company, cargo loaders, and others — and we investigate all of them.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users and frequently suffer serious injuries even in lower-speed collisions. Bias against riders is common in these cases, and we know how to counter it with strong evidence and advocacy.

Bicycle Accidents

Whether caused by a negligent driver, a poorly maintained road, or a defective bike lane, bicycle accidents can leave riders with life-altering injuries. We represent cyclists throughout New York and New Jersey in claims against drivers, municipalities, and property owners.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians struck by vehicles have some of the strongest personal injury claims available under New York law. If you or a loved one was hit in a crosswalk, on a sidewalk, or anywhere else a pedestrian has a right to be, we can help pursue maximum recovery.

Rideshare Accidents (Uber, Lyft & Taxi)

Accidents involving rideshare or taxi vehicles involve a unique web of insurance coverage — the driver’s personal policy, the rideshare company’s commercial policy, and the app’s status at the time of the crash all factor in. We navigate that complexity on your behalf.

Premises Liability — Slip, Trip & Fall

Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. If you were injured due to ice, snow, wet floors, broken pavement, or other hazardous conditions on someone else’s property, you may have a strong premises liability claim.

Construction Site Accidents

New York has among the highest rates of construction-related injuries in the country. Falls from height, falling objects, electrocutions, and machinery accidents are all actionable. New York Labor Law Sections 200, 240, and 241 provide significant protections for injured workers.

Workplace Accidents (Third-Party)

Workers’ compensation covers many on-the-job injuries, but when a third party — not your employer — is responsible for your injury, you may pursue a separate personal injury lawsuit for damages well beyond what workers’ comp provides.

Medical Malpractice

Healthcare professionals are held to a strict standard of care. When a doctor, surgeon, nurse, or other provider falls short — through surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, or failure to diagnose — the consequences can be devastating. We pursue full accountability on your behalf.

Wrongful Death

When negligence takes a life, surviving family members have the right to seek justice. Wrongful death claims arise from fatal car crashes, medical negligence, workplace accidents, and other preventable tragedies. We handle these cases with both rigor and compassion.

Product Liability — Defective Products

Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can be held liable when a defective product causes injury. Whether the issue is a design defect, a manufacturing flaw, or a failure to warn consumers of known risks, we hold the responsible parties accountable.

Nursing Home Negligence & Abuse

Elderly residents in care facilities deserve dignity and proper treatment. When understaffing, neglect, or outright abuse causes harm to a loved one, we pursue claims against facilities that fail to meet their duty of care.

Intentional Torts & Police Misconduct

Not all personal injury cases stem from negligence. Assault, battery, false imprisonment, and police misconduct — including excessive force — are intentional acts that give rise to civil claims. We aren’t afraid to take on powerful institutions on your behalf.

Dog Bites & Animal Attacks

New York imposes strict liability on pet owners whose animals cause injury, particularly when the owner had prior knowledge of the animal’s dangerous propensities. If you’ve been bitten or attacked, you may have a clear path to compensation for medical costs, scarring, and emotional harm.
