Firm Information
Overview
At Block O'Toole & Murphy in New York, New York, we represent individuals harmed by the negligence of others across a broad range of practice areas, including auto accidents, bus accidents, truck accidents, pedestrian accidents, construction accidents, workplace injuries, premises liability, slip-and-fall incidents, wrongful death, medical malpractice and other serious injury matters.
Results define our reputation. We have recovered over $2 billion for our clients and hold the largest number of reported case results exceeding $1,000,000 in New York since 2012. Among our record-breaking achievements are a $110 million jury verdict in a Brooklyn catastrophic injury case, a $65 million settlement for a seriously injured cyclist, a $53.5 million verdict for a construction worker hurt on the job and the largest negligence result in Long Island history at $32,756,156.
We understand that choosing the right legal team can shape the outcome of a client's life after a devastating accident. Our trial attorneys have built their careers advocating for injury victims throughout New York City's five boroughs and the entire state. Because we recognize how much is at stake for those we represent, we pursue every case with determination and resolve.
Our commitment has earned recognition from respected industry sources. U.S. News & World Report named us one of the Best Law Firms in New York, and Best Lawyers magazine awarded us a Tier 1 ranking in personal injury litigation for plaintiffs. What sets us apart is our approach: we prepare every matter as though it will proceed to trial, assign at least two attorneys to each case for greater insight and attention and limit our caseload so every client receives personalized care. We focus exclusively on personal injury law, allowing us to bring specialized skill to every case we accept.
We never settle for less than what our clients deserve, and we take on cases without upfront cost, collecting fees only when we secure a successful outcome. Reach out to us today.
