TESTIMONIALS

Paul and his team were retained to represent us on a wrongful maritime death
suit. The matter was very complex involving multiple estates and Jones Act
limitations. He and his team spent years pursuing the claims and fought for us
through incredible obstacles. In the end, we could not be more pleased with the
settlement they were able to negotiate and would highly recommend them for any
maritime representation. John & Carol B.

PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS SERVING NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS FIGHTING FOR
THEIR RIGHTS FOLLOWING WORK-RELATED INJURIES

Hofmann & Schweitzer represents maritime cases throughout the country, including
the east coast, west coast and Gulf of Mexico. We handle construction and
railroad cases in all of New York and New Jersey. In addition, we represent
general personal injury claims in the metropolitan areas of New Jersey and New
York, including the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island.

Despite being a responsible person, just one tragic moment can change your life
forever. When someone’s careless behavior, or an employer’s failure to maintain
a safe work environment, causes you to suffer a serious injury, the
repercussions can affect you and your family for years to come. Physical pain
and lengthy medical treatment often cause trauma victims to miss work and lose
vital income. In some cases, the incident may even result in the death of a
loved one. The emotional and financial stress can be overwhelming, and victims
and their families may not know where to turn. That's where our New York City
personal injury attorneys can help.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


EXPERIENCED PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS THAT GET RESULTS FOR WORK ACCIDENT VICTIMS

For more than 40 years, the personal injury attorneys of Hofmann & Schweitzer
have stood up for victims in New York,  New Jersey, and across the country. Our
experienced lawyers take up your fight, helping you obtain the care and
compensation you deserve. Through perseverance and determination, our legal
team built an exceptional track record of verdicts and settlements for clients
with all types of injury and wrongful death claims, especially those enduring
construction and maritime injuries.


OUR PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS FIGHT FOR THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE AFTER AN
ACCIDENT

When an accident and injury occurs, victims have rights. Whether your injury was
caused by a private citizen or a big company, it can be possible to obtain
compensation for medical care, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Those
working in the construction and maritime fields face unique risks, and the law
addresses these injuries differently. That’s why our legal team offers premiere
representation tailored specifically to construction workers, seamen, fishermen,
longshoremen, dock workers, and many more.

Too often, accident victims aren’t fully aware of their rights, or they fall
victim a second time to big insurance companies ignoring their injuries or
pushing to settle their claim for less than it is worth. These insurance
companies will do everything in their power to avoid paying for the damages you
have suffered. The lawyers at Hofmann & Schweitzer are trained and experienced
litigators who can beat them at their own game. Lawyers from our firm will work
with the insurance companies, employers and other opposing parties to obtain a
favorable settlement in your case. If these negotiation attempts are
unsuccessful, we will fight for you in the courtroom.

If you or someone you love has suffered a construction, maritime, railroad, or
another personal injury, you need a legal team who understands the unique rights
and challenges of your situation. Call our skilled personal injury attorneys at
our New York City office, or take a moment to fill out the contact form on this
page. Even if you aren’t sure you have a case or you live out of state, our
dedicated legal team can help you find the best way forward. 




WHY CHOOSE US?

The time after an accident and injury can be overwhelming and stressful. Victims
and their families must face the pain from physical and emotional injuries, as
well as the financial burden that accompanies missed work and lost income. The
legal team at Hofmann & Schweitzer understands how difficult this can be, and
that’s why we fight to ensure that every client can obtain the compensation to
move forward to a successful and secure future. When you retain our services,
you will find:

 * Experienced litigators. We prepare every case for the possibility of trial,
   and the insurance companies know we will go the distance to protect our
   clients, increasing the likelihood of a favorable settlement offer.
 * Representation that gets results. Our firm has helped clients recover over a
   hundred million dollars after accidents and injuries, placing us in an elite
   group of multi-million dollar legal advocates.
 * Individualized attention. We are a small firm that provides personalized
   service. Our attorneys will personally visit the client's accident site to
   develop an understanding of why the event happened. Further, our legal team
   has a policy to return every call within 24 hours, and we pay house calls
   when necessary to those clients who are unable to leave their homes after an
   injury.
 * Comprehensive legal knowledge. The legal team at Hofmann & Schweitzer focuses
   on personal injury matters, with special emphasis on maritime, construction,
   and railroad workers. New York law is unique in its approach to this type of
   compensation, and our lawyers offer complete and effective insight into state
   law, as well as the Jones Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation
   Act, and FELA.

ACCIDENT & INJURY FAQS


HOW IS A CLAIM MADE UNDER THE LONGSHORE ACT?

If you get hurt on the job, you will need to file a claim under the LHWCA. It is
your responsibility to alert your employer to your injury within 30 days of
noticing symptoms or of the injury occurring. If it is a non-emergency
situation, you should ask your employer for the proper form you must file to
seek treatment and then get proper medical care. If your death is caused on the
job, then your family will need to file a death benefits form to get
compensation for your medical care and other benefits.

DO I NEED A LAWYER FOR A CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENT CASE?

Our construction accident lawyers work hard to get you everything you are
entitled to after an injury. We offer free, no-obligation consultations for
construction accident victims, allowing you to learn your options and next steps
at no cost to you. An attorney can be beneficial to you and your family by:

WHAT IS MY MARITIME INJURY CASE WORTH?

While each case is different, many of our clients are able to recover
compensation for monetary losses related to the injury. This often includes
medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, past wage losses, and the ability to
earn a living in the future. There may also be an amount recoverable for pain
and suffering damages.

Learn More +


HOW MUCH DOES A MARITIME INJURY LAWYER COST?

Contingent Fees The majority of injury cases are taken on a contingency fee
basis, meaning the attorney receives a portion of the amount he or she recovers
for the victim. The attorney covers all upfront expenses, including filing fees
and court costs. If the victim’s case is not successful, the victim will only
have to pay the attorney’s out-of-pocket expenses—the victim will not owe the
attorney any fees. Expenses After Settlement Legal expenses (such as hiring
experts to testify, hiring an investigator or photographer, document copying,
and records requests) are not part of an attorney’s fees, and must be paid
whether or not the case is successful. However, in a contingency fee
arrangement, these costs can be deducted from the settlement rather than paid
out of the victim’s pocket. Free Initial Consultations Injury attorneys will
want to make sure a maritime injury or Jones Act case is valid before agreeing
to represent the client. By offering a free consultation, the attorney can
determine whether the maritime employee has a right to recover legal damages,
and victims can get the legal advice they need at no cost to them.

Learn More +


HOW CAN I DETERMINE WHOSE NEGLIGENCE CAUSED MY CONSTRUCTION INJURY?

The law applies a doctrine of negligence to establish the person or persons who
may be held liable for an injury. A person may be liable if he or she had a duty
of care to the victim, breached that duty of care, and caused direct harm and
losses as a result of that breach. However, not all parties owe the same level
of care to construction workers, and establishing negligence may quickly become
complicated.
