New York Personal Injury Law Firm Delivers Results While Others Take Vacation
While many New York personal injury law firms slow down during the summer months, Leav & Steinberg’s dedicated legal team worked tirelessly to secure life-changing settlements for injured New Yorkers. In June and July 2025 alone, our experienced attorneys achieved over $6 million in settlements and case resolutions while welcoming more than 30 new clients to our growing practice.
Why Leav & Steinberg Stands Apart From Other New York Personal Injury Firms
Unlike firms that focus solely on “monster verdicts” or headline-grabbing cases, Leav & Steinberg has built a comprehensive foundation to deliver exceptional legal representation and customer service across all types of personal injury cases.
Our philosophy is simple: Each case receives expert-level representation to maximize results for our clients and their families. To our clients, this is the “biggest case,” and we recognize and respect that, but mostly provide that mindset.
Summer 2025 Settlement Highlights: Diverse Cases, Consistent Results
Our recent settlement achievements demonstrate our firm’s versatility and commitment to maximizing recovery for injured clients across New York’s five boroughs:
$1.4 Million Truck Accident Settlement
Secured comprehensive compensation for a family of three during the discovery phase of litigation. The commercial vehicle accident resulted in serious and disabling injuries requiring extensive ongoing medical care and rehabilitation.
$975,000 Negligent Assault Settlement in Queens
Achieved substantial recovery just before closing arguments for a woman who suffered shoulder and neck injuries requiring surgery after being assaulted by a security guard. Our aggressive litigation strategy maximized compensation despite complex liability issues.
$750,000 Medical Malpractice Settlement in Brooklyn
Resolved during jury deliberation for a client who developed finger complications following shoulder surgery. Despite the seemingly minor nature of the presenting injuries, our thorough case preparation demonstrated the orthopedic surgeon’s malpractice and secured substantial compensation.
$675,000 Settlement Before Trial for Slip and Fall Accident
Achieved a full settlement just before the case went to trial for an 87-year-old man who fell on rubber flooring while watching his grandson play indoor sports on Long Island. As a result of falling, our client fractured his hip and required surgery.
$625,000 Premises Liability Settlement in the Bronx
Obtained full compensation for a man who suffered knee injuries when a garage step collapsed beneath him. Our team successfully argued for maximum recovery despite the client’s pre-existing knee conditions, proving the property owner’s negligence created the dangerous condition.
$375,000 Enhanced Settlement Recovery
After switching from another firm that secured only a $75,000 offer, our attorneys pushed the case through two mediations and achieved a 5x increase in settlement value. This case demonstrates the importance of experienced representation and aggressive case development.
$250,000 Sidewalk Accident Settlement
Secured comprehensive compensation for an elderly Brooklyn woman who fell on a defective sidewalk, suffering hand injuries that required finger surgery. Our knowledge of New York premises liability law ensured the property owner was held fully accountable.
Total Policy Limits Recovery
Achieved 100% of available insurance coverage within just three months by immediately documenting our client’s injuries and establishing clear liability. This quick resolution allowed our client to focus on recovery while securing maximum compensation.

The Leav & Steinberg Difference
When choosing an attorney, don’t rely on TikTok or Instagram videos or posts. Don’t believe firms that claim, “We are a national firm, so our influence matters.” Our firm has taken over cases from national firms when clients realize they aren’t getting the customer service they deserve, and the firm doesn’t understand the nuances of New York law.
What sets us apart:
- Deep understanding of New York personal injury law and local court procedures
- Personalized customer service from experienced attorneys, not case managers
- Proven track record with New York judges and insurance companies
- Responsive communication throughout your case
Partner Edward Steinberg spent a day this week visiting clients whose matters were recently resolved and personally delivering settlement checks. The responses speak volumes about our approach:
One client said, “I feel like I made a friend for life and a great lawyer I can call on anytime.”
When another client asked how we compete with big advertising firms, Steinberg replied: “Well, I met you a year ago at your home, and I’m back today to make sure all questions are answered, and you know that we not only make promises but deliver on exceptional customer service.”
The client smiled and responded: “You’re absolutely right. All the advertising can’t buy the kindness and results you delivered.”
