Focused practice. Two disciplines.
Personal injury and workers' compensation representation across New York and New Jersey, built on technology that earns the client's time back.
Representation for accident and premises injuries.
When you are hurt by another party's negligence, the most valuable thing is time — time to recover, time to gather records, time to negotiate. Day Law buys that time back.
Day Law represents individuals injured in motor-vehicle collisions, slip-and-fall and premises cases, construction-site incidents, dog bites, and other negligence claims throughout New York and New Jersey.
Matter types we accept
- Motor-vehicle collisions — including soft-tissue, head, and spine injuries; rideshare; commercial vehicle
- Slip-and-fall and premises liability — residential, retail, and public accommodations
- Construction-site injuries — NY Labor Law § 200, § 240(1), § 241(6) practice
- Dog bites — NY strict-liability and one-bite-rule cases
- Other negligence claims where a clear duty was breached
How we run a PI matter
Every personal-injury matter at Day Law moves through a documented process: intake review with our supervising attorney, conflict and statute-of-limitations check against the New York calendar, written retainer agreement, HIPAA authorizations sent to every treating provider, and a preliminary case-valuation memo grounded in current published New York case law from CourtListener.
The firm's default venue is Bronx County Supreme Court; the firm files statewide in New York and across New Jersey when venue is appropriate.
Fees
Personal-injury representation is on contingency. Day Law charges 33⅓% of the gross recovery pre-suit and post-suit-pre-trial, and 40% post-trial verdict, in conformity with 22 NYCRR Part 137. Clients may remain responsible for litigation costs and disbursements; the retainer agreement spells these out in plain English before signing.
Workers' comp claims, denials, and settlements.
New York's workers' compensation system was built to help injured workers — but the procedural detail is unforgiving. Day Law handles the procedure so the worker can recover.
Day Law represents injured workers before the New York State Workers' Compensation Board. Practice covers initial Form C-3 filing, contested-claim hearings, Section 32 lump-sum settlements where appropriate, and schedule-loss-of-use awards upon maximum medical improvement.
What we file at intake
- Form C-3 — the Employee Claim required by WCL § 28 within two years of injury or disability onset
- Form C-3.3 — the Limited Release of Health Information (HIPAA-style) required by the WCB
- Form OC-400 — the Notice of Retainer and Fee Application required by WCB Rule 300.17 + WCL § 24
- WCL § 18 Notice when employer notification has not yet occurred and the 30-day window is still open
Fee approval
All attorney fees in a New York workers' compensation matter are subject to the approval of the Workers' Compensation Board Law Judge. The firm files Form OC-400 at intake to establish the notice of retainer; no fee is charged or collected without a Board Order under WCL § 24.

Start a case query. A person at the firm will read your situation and either take it on, refer you to the right firm, or tell you honestly that it's not the right fit.
