Our client’s loved one was arrested for breaking and entering after going into an abandoned building to get out of the rain. He was sent to Rikers because he was unable to make bail. A Board of Correction report determined that a lack of supervision and failure to adhere to protocol gave him the opportunity to commit suicide in a staff bathroom.

Why Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer Instead of Handling My Case Myself?
Personal injury cases are rarely simple. Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to limit what they pay. A personal injury lawyer protects your rights, handles the legal and insurance process for you, and works to pursue the full compensation you may be entitled to, so you can focus on healing.
When Should I Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer?
As soon as possible. Evidence can disappear, witnesses’ memories can fade, and strict deadlines apply. Speaking with a lawyer early helps protect your case from the start and prevents costly mistakes, especially as insurance companies begin calling you right away.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Actually Handle for Me?
A lawyer manages every legal aspect of your case, including investigating what happened, gathering medical records, dealing with insurance companies, valuing your damages, and preparing the case for settlement or trial. This takes the pressure off you and ensures your case is handled strategically and professionally.
Can I Afford to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
You pay us nothing upfront and only pay us a percentage of your settlement if we win. This allows injured New Yorkers and their families to pursue justice without worrying about legal costs while their case is ongoing.
What Makes Aviles Law Firm PLLC Different from Other Personal Injury Firms?
Aviles Law Firm PLLC takes on the cases other firms don’t feel equipped to: complex, high-stakes matters involving catastrophic injuries and powerful defendants. Nearly half of our firm’s cases come from referrals by other law firms, reflecting deep respect within the legal community. Every case is handled with advanced litigation strategies and a commitment to providing clients with the highest level of legal representation.
Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?
If you were injured because someone else acted carelessly, recklessly, or unlawfully, you may have a personal injury case. Speak with a lawyer who can evaluate what happened, explain your rights, and determine whether another party may be legally responsible for your injuries.
How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
Every case is different. What you can recover depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, long-term impact on your life, and who is responsible. Aviles Law Firm PLLC looks at the full picture (not just immediate bills) to pursue compensation that reflects both current and future losses.
