Attorney Information
Overview
Yehoshua (Shua) Gelbstein is a New York personal injury attorney and founder of Gelbstein & Associates, where he dedicates his practice exclusively to representing victims of serious accidents and catastrophic injuries throughout New York.
Gelbstein & Associates continues a family tradition in the legal profession spanning decades. Mr. Gelbstein’s father, a former judge and longtime attorney whose legal career began in 1973, helped establish a foundation centered on advocacy, integrity, and personal attention to clients. That tradition continues today through a modern plaintiff-focused practice dedicated exclusively to helping injury victims and their families.
Mr. Gelbstein focuses on helping individuals and families whose lives have been changed by car accidents, commercial truck crashes, construction accidents, pedestrian accidents, rideshare accidents involving Uber and Lyft, premises liability claims, catastrophic injuries, traumatic brain injuries, wrongful death matters, and other serious injury cases throughout New York.
After an accident, many injured individuals find themselves overwhelmed by pain, medical treatment, lost income, insurance paperwork, and uncertainty about the future. Insurance companies often attempt to minimize claims and pressure injury victims into accepting less than they deserve. Gelbstein & Associates works to level the playing field by helping accident victims pursue the compensation available under New York law.
The firm handles serious injury matters involving commercial vehicles, tractor trailers, construction site accidents, delivery vehicles, and major corporate fleets, including Amazon, FedEx, UPS, and other transportation-related incidents. The firm also represents victims suffering injuries requiring surgery, rehabilitation, long-term treatment, and ongoing medical care.
Clients throughout Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, Staten Island, Nassau County, Rockland County, and communities throughout New York seek out Gelbstein & Associates because of the firm’s hands-on approach and commitment to personal attention. Every client and every case matters.
Gelbstein & Associates is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Consultations are free, and there is never a legal fee unless compensation is recovered.
Multilingual support is available for clients who speak Spanish, Russian, Hebrew, Yiddish, Ukrainian, Albanian, and additional languages.
