Ivan M. Diamond: Your Bronx Personal Injury Lawyer and Accident Attorney
Injuries can be both physically and emotionally devastating to you and your loved ones. Just as devastating is the aftermath: What now? Who do you turn to? What exactly do you do to protect your rights? The insurance companies certainly don’t have your interests at heart: to the contrary, they will do what’s best for those who caused your injuries, not you.
Have you or a loved one been injured in an accident in the Bronx or New York metro area? Do you wonder whether you could be entitled to financial compensation for your injuries? As a leading injury and accident law firm for Bronx residents, the Law Office of Ivan M. Diamond is here to help.
A Track Record of Success Aiding Accident Victims
Not all injury and accident attorneys are created equal. As you compare me with other injury and accident attorneys in the Bronx, take a look at my proven track record of success representing accident victims. Of course, my past results are no guarantee of a recovery in any future representation. But I am committed to working my hardest for each and every personal injury client I represent. To demonstrate that commitment, I am available for appointments on evenings and weekends. I am even available for home and hospital visits if necessary.
Common Types of Injuries I Handle
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were 30.8 million hospital emergency department visits for injuries and 146,571 deaths due to unintentional injuries in 2016. The majority of these injuries were the result of falls, motor vehicle accidents, and unintentional poisoning.
When clients come to me seeking advice and counsel, they’re most commonly struggling with three types of injury, some all at once:
- Traumatic physical injuries: My clients who sustained injuries in accidents often suffer from traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, burns, broken bones, amputations, internal injuries, and soft tissue damage, among others.

Personal Injury Lawsuits
When you are injured because someone else was negligent, there are two options available to you. The first is working through an insurance company to settle a claim or to work with an Bronx personal injury lawyer. Insurance companies nearly always attempt to settle claims for less than what you may obtain by filing a personal injury suit.
No Fee Unless Successful
Common Types of Accidents That Cause My Clients’ Injuries
Injuries and accidents can result from a wide variety of life events. I frequently represent clients injured in motor vehicle accidents, but that’s not all. Injuries can happen because of negligence or maltreatment by an employer, caretaker, or total stranger. They can occur in healthcare facilities such as hospitals and nursing homes. They can result from using defective equipment or products at home or at work. Some of the most common injury-causing events my clients have suffered through include:
- A car accident in which the driver of another vehicle was drunk, distracted, or driving recklessly.
- A motorcycle accident caused by a defective part that caused the bike to malfunction at speed, causing a wreck.
Workplace injuries and accidents, such as a crushing injury that happened on the job after an employer failed to implement appropriate safety measures for his employees, or failed to maintain work equipment in safe condition. Some work sites can present specific hazards—like construction sites. Victims of scaffolding accidents, slip and fall accidents, or ladder-related accidents often need the assistance of a personal injury attorney to ensure they are treated fairly and recover financially from the high cost of medical treatment, lost wages, and more.
- Medical malpractice, when the doctors, hospitals, and other medical professionals we rely on to help us when we’re sick or injured betray our trust and their duty to care. We trust them to take of us and in many cases, we literally put our lives in their hands. When doctors, hospitals, and others in the medical field make mistakes, the consequences can be catastrophic, even deadly. The illnesses and injuries that can result from medical malpractice are almost endless and include birth injuries, failure to diagnose cancer or other serious illness, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and nursing home neglect. Our small firm, big results approach to medical malpractice is client-centered and targeted to achieve maximum compensation for our clients. Because of this, our Bronx-based lawyer serving the five boroughs of New York City has achieved multiple million dollar recoveries in all types of medical malpractice cases.

Common Types of Damages My Clients May Recover
When you are injured because someone else was negligent, there are two options available to you. The first is working through an insurance company to settle a claim or to work with a Bronx personal injury lawyer. Insurance companies nearly always attempt to settle claims for less than what you may obtain by filing a personal injury suit.
My injured clients often deserve compensation for a variety of expenses and damages they’ve sustained as a result of an accident. My clients frequently recover payment for:
- Medical bills, especially ones not covered by insurance, that piled up because of treatment for their physical injuries.
- The expense of adapting their lives to unexpected temporary or permanent disabilities.
- The pain and emotional suffering they’ve endured, and the loss of enjoyment of life and relationships.
- Lost wages and household income that would have been earned if the victim didn’t have to take time away from work to heal.
- In extreme cases, punitive damages intended to punish the wrongdoers.
Construction Injuries and Accidents
Some work sites can present specific hazards such as construction sites. Victims of scaffolding accidents, slip and fall accidents or ladder-related accidents often need the assistance of a personal injury attorney to ensure they are treated fairly and recover financially from the high cost of medical treatment, lost wages and more.
Why Hire an Experienced Attorney Like Ivan Diamond
If you want to recover the maximum compensation to which you’re entitled, it can be very important to have an experienced personal injury attorney like me on your side. Someone who understands the tactics insurance companies and opposing lawyers sometimes use to try to avoid being held accountable.
Insurance adjusters, in particular, know that you’re going through a difficult time. They may try to take advantage by offering you a lowball settlement, hoping you’ll jump at quick money before you talk to a lawyer. Don’t help them out. Instead, let an experienced attorney handle the negotiation.
The same goes for preparing your claim. A skilled, knowledgeable litigator like me understands what facts and arguments are most important to prove your claim to a judge and jury, if it comes to taking a case to trial. I know how to guide my clients through depositions, discovery, and efforts by opposing lawyers to trap them into saying things that might undermine their case.
A Tough, Compassionate Bronx, New York Injury Lawyer
My primary goal in any case I take on is to obtain the maximum compensation for my clients. The people I represent work hard. They didn’t ask to be injured and now they’re left to contend with lost income, enormous medical and hospital bills, pain and suffering, emotional strife and the loss of self-esteem that often occurs after a serious injury. We realize money is never going to bring you back to the way you were before the accident, but it’s a start.
When you’re injured and struggling to recover after an accident, you certainly don’t have extra money to pay an attorney—especially if your ability to earn income is compromised by an injury. That’s why I take cases on a contingency fee basis. You don’t have to come up with thousands of dollars to talk to me or to finance your representation. You pay nothing up front and I get paid my fees only if you recover compensation through settlement or a jury verdict. And, of course, the initial case review with my office is always free of charge.

They may even pressure you to accept a settlement worth far less than what you deserve.
If you were injured in a Bronx-area accident that wasn’t your fault, or you’ve lost a loved one to a tragedy, you may be entitled to compensation. Having an experienced injury and accident lawyer on your side can be your best shot at recovering the maximum you deserve. Don’t wait.
