According to New York Civil Practice Law and Rules § 214, individuals seeking to file a personal injury claim generally have three years from the date of the injury to initiate legal action.
A brain injury refers to any disruption of normal brain function caused by an external force, commonly from falls, crashes, or blunt trauma. These injuries can impact memory, behavior, communication, or coordination, sometimes creating lifelong challenges.
Head trauma can lead to lasting consequences that touch nearly every aspect of someone’s life. At Rubinowitz Law Firm, we approach these cases with attention to detail, respectful communication, and a focus on identifying where responsibility lies.
Automobile accidents are incidents involving motor vehicles, such as cars, trucks, or motorcycles, that cause injury, property damage, or both. These events can result from a range of causes, including distracted driving, failure to yield, speeding, or poor road conditions.
When a vehicle crash disrupts your life, our team is ready to act quickly. These cases often involve navigating police reports, insurance communications, and mounting medical concerns. We guide clients through the legal process with clarity.
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from accepted standards of practice, harming a patient. This can involve surgical mistakes, misdiagnoses, medication errors, or failures in timely treatment.
Negligence in healthcare can have devastating consequences. Rubinowitz Law Firm takes a detailed approach to building strong claims.
Boating negligence refers to careless or reckless actions by a vessel operator or crew that result in injury, property damage, or even fatalities. Common causes include speeding, operator distraction, alcohol use, or ignoring safety regulations.
Accidents on water require legal knowledge most firms simply don’t have. We help victims of boat collisions, operator inattention, and regulatory failures get the answers they need.
Premises liability refers to the legal obligation of property owners to maintain a reasonably safe environment. Injuries can occur from unsafe conditions such as broken handrails, icy sidewalks, or inadequate lighting.
Whether it’s a fall on a slippery floor or an injury due to poor maintenance, we pursue justice for those harmed by unsafe property conditions.
Construction accidents refer to injuries sustained on or near construction sites, often due to falls, equipment malfunctions, structural failures, or safety violations. These incidents may involve multiple parties, including contractors, property owners, or manufacturers.
These cases often involve layers of liability and dangerous working environments. Our team is equipped to handle the legal and logistical challenges of supporting injured workers.
Wrongful death refers to a legal claim brought when a person dies due to the negligence or misconduct of another individual or entity. These actions are typically filed by a representative of the deceased’s estate on behalf of surviving family members.
According to the New York Estates, Powers and Trusts Law (§5-4.1), wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the loss. These cases demand attention to detail and sensitivity to the family left behind.
Pedestrian accidents occur when individuals on foot are struck by vehicles, often resulting in serious injuries due to the lack of physical protection. These incidents are frequently caused by driver negligence, poor visibility, or failure to yield at crosswalks.
In New York, pedestrians face daily risks. We pursue accountability in pedestrian accident cases with a focus on facts, timelines, and proper case evaluation, making sure every client is heard.

While the following testimonials reflect work James Rubinowitz performed before founding Rubinowitz Law Firm, they highlight his commitment to communication and legal guidance:
David Barnett recounted his experience working with James after a serious slip-and-fall incident that required surgery. He highlighted James’s responsiveness, compassion, and steady involvement throughout the process.
Bert Krieger praised the level of communication and effort James Rubinowitz and a fellow team member demonstrated during his family’s legal matter, noting the consistency and focus on securing an outcome.
Mia Salvaggio shared how James stood by her and her family following a traumatic accident, assisting not just with the case itself but also with managing medical bills and guiding them through the legal process.
James Rubinowitz handled my case and I couldn’t have asked for a harder working, more compassionate, experienced attorney. Besides being a great attorney he is also a very nice guy who is really easy to work with. James walked me through the process. He told me what to expect and kept me apprised of every step along the way. He was almost always available to answer any question that I had and when he wasn’t he would get back to me almost immediately. I really felt like I had someone in my corner. I was very pleased with the settlement I received and would not hesitate to recommend this firm.
I was represented by Ben and James Rubinowitz of this firm after being hit by a car and being injured so badly that I couldn’t walk for most of a year and had to have multiple surgeries. They were highly recommended by a friend and were expert, professional, and patient with me through the whole process. Between COVID backup in the courts and an insurance company that drew the process out as long as possible, it was easy to get discouraged, but they had a plan and helped me stay the course, always answered my questions, and prepared me well. In the room with their opponents their skill and preparedness showed and they had the upper hand. They eventually were able to turn the screws on the insurance company for a settlement that was worth the time.
When Ben and James and their firm took on our case it was like our prayers had been answered. We knew we had the best legal team and our confidence in them never wavered. They provided endless attention and dedication to seeking justice. Everything was handled with the utmost sensitivity, care, and compassion. It was never lost on us on how lucky we were to have Gair, Gair, Conason, Rubinowitz, Bloom, Hershenhorn, Steigman, & Mackauf represent us. They are real-life guardian angels who walk the walk, talk the talk, and do right by their clients in the most profound, impactful way. That’s exactly what they did for us and there isn’t enough space here to fully express our gratitude for everything they have done for us.
After my sister and I went through a traumatic accident in 2018, a family friend recommended James Rubonowitz, and I could not be more thankful they did. I had nothing but a great experience with Gair, Gair, Conason, Rubinowitz, Bloom, Hershenhorn, Steigman, & Mackauf!
James Rubonowitz was there every step of the way with support and guidance for me and my family. He not only helped me with my settlement but also with incoming medical bills and without this help I would have been lost.
I would highly recommend James and his team to anyone in need!
