New York Personal Injury Lawyer Cost and Fees: No Upfront Money, Serving Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island
What a personal injury case costs, how contingency fees work, and the compensation you can pursue, explained before you owe anything.

The first question most injured New Yorkers ask is what a lawyer will cost them while they are already facing medical bills and lost pay. At Karasik Law Group, P.C. the answer is nothing out of pocket. The firm takes Brooklyn and New York personal injury cases on contingency, which means you pay no retainer and no hourly fee, and the attorney fee comes only out of the money recovered for you. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. Alexander Karasik, Esq. gives you an honest read on what your case is worth at no charge, then advances the cost of building it.
Alexander Karasik was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and effective. He took my case on a contingency basis without any out of pocket retainer.
The same fee structure covers the full range of cases the firm handles in New York, from bicycle and car accidents to medical malpractice and construction site injuries. Whatever the injury, Karasik Law Group, P.C. pursues compensation that accounts for your medical care, your lost income, and your pain and suffering, and the cost of pursuing it stays with the firm until your case resolves.
What a Personal Injury Lawyer Costs in New York: No Upfront Fees
A personal injury case runs on a contingency fee, so the cost is tied to the result rather than billed by the hour. At Karasik Law Group, P.C. you pay no money to start, no retainer, and no hourly rate. The attorney fee is a share of the compensation recovered for you, and it is collected only if that recovery happens. New York law sets how the fee is calculated, and in medical malpractice cases the percentage follows a sliding scale fixed by statute that decreases as the recovery grows. Beyond the fee, a case carries real expenses, including expert witnesses, accident reconstruction, medical record retrieval, and court filing costs. Karasik Law Group, P.C. advances those expenses so you are not asked to fund your own case while you are recovering. You learn the full fee and how costs are handled in writing before you sign anything.
Karasik law group goes above and beyond for their clients, very professional you will not be disappointed, they got me way more than what I expected for my settlement 10/10 would recommend.
A New York Personal Injury Attorney Who Tells You What Your Case Is Worth, for Free
Before you commit to anything, Alexander Karasik, Esq. establishes who was negligent and documents the financial impact of your injury, the medical costs, the lost wages, and the long-term effects, so the value of your case rests on evidence rather than a guess. That case assessment is free, and you get a straight answer about whether a claim is worth pursuing. Acting promptly matters, because New York sets time limits for filing, and waiting can cost you the right to recover at all.
Personal Injury Lawsuits
Filing a lawsuit can feel daunting, especially when dealing with the aftermath of an injury. Your personal injury attorney will ensure your rights are protected while serving as a buffer between you and opposing lawyers. This relieves you of the burden of engaging in potentially stressful interactions with the other party, allowing you to focus on recovery and other personal matters.
Beware of an Early Settlement Offer
One cautionary note is to be wary of early settlement offers. Often, opposition attorneys aim to save money by presenting inadequate settlement offers, hoping that the financially strained injured party will accept. Your attorney will help you assess the true value of any settlement in relation to the level of compensation you should expect. Aggressively pursuing fair compensation is crucial, as an early settlement offer can be a test of your resolve.
I would recommend Alexander Karasik as a car accident attorney to anyone injured in a motor vehicle accident. He follows up and keeps in touch every step of the way during the case. He will not quit until he and his client are both satisfied with the settlement. If he has to take it through the courts to get the maximum possible he will.
The Compensation You Can Pursue in a New York Injury Case
A full personal injury claim reaches past the first hospital bill. Karasik Law Group, P.C. pursues your past and future medical care, the income you lost while you could not work and any future earning you will lose, and your pain and suffering. Where the conduct was especially reckless, the law may allow more. Putting a real number on the future part takes expert testimony and detailed accounting, and the firm builds that proof so a settlement reflects what your injury will actually cost you over time, not the figure an insurer offers first.
My Karasik represented our entire family in a medical malpractice case. From the very beginning we felt very comfortable with his advice. They were always easy to reach for of all of my questions that were all explained, which I really appreciated. Mr. Karasik really came through for us, he was able to help us receive a settlement that was much higher then we had ever expected.
