$1.2 Million Settlement for Brooklyn Man Injured in MTA Bus Crash At Blitz Law Group, we recently secured a $1,200,000 settlement for a 35-year-old client who suffered serious injuries when an MTA bus improperly entered his lane and collided with his vehicle in Brooklyn. This case underscores how important it is to know your rights—and to have strong legal advocacy when going up against large entities like the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). ⸻ Case Summary: Injured by Negligence Our client sustained multiple injuries from the crash, including:     •    A torn rotator cuff that required arthroscopic shoulder surgery     •    Herniated discs in the lumbar spine, requiring a two-level discectomy to relieve pressure and pain Despite initial discovery challenges and pushback from the MTA’s legal team, attorney Justin Blitz successfully appealed the dispute. Just one week before the case was set to go to trial, Blitz Law Group negotiated a $1.2 million settlement—providing justice, financial relief, and peace of mind for our client. ⸻ What to Do If You’re in an Accident Involving an MTA Bus Crashes involving MTA buses are different from typical car accidents. The legal process is more complex, and the timeline to take action is shorter. Here’s what to do immediately after an MTA bus-related crash: 1. Call 911 and Seek Medical Attention Even if you think your injuries are minor, get evaluated. Injuries like disc herniations or soft tissue damage may not be obvious right away. 2. Get the Bus Number and Operator Info Note the bus number, license plate, route, time of day, and the operator’s name or badge number if possible. This helps build a clear case. 3. Take Photos and Gather Witnesses Photograph the accident scene, damage to your vehicle, and visible injuries. If there are witnesses, ask for their contact info. 4. File a Notice of Claim Quickly You must file a Notice of Claim against the MTA within 90 days of the accident. Failing to meet this deadline could forfeit your right to sue. 5. Call a Lawyer Who Has Handled MTA Cases Going up against the MTA isn’t like going up against a regular insurance company. They have their own legal team, and the process is full of red tape. You need someone who’s done this before. ⸻ We Know How to Win Against the MTA At Blitz Law Group, we have experience taking on the MTA—and winning. Whether your injuries are orthopedic, spinal, or traumatic, we fight to hold public entities accountable and get you the compensation you deserve. No upfront fees. We don't get paid unless you win.

$140,000 Settlement for Client Injured at NYC Art Gallery Installation At Blitz Law Group, we believe that art should inspire—not injure. Recently, our team secured a $140,000 settlement for a client who was seriously injured at an NYC art gallery after engaging with a supposedly interactive installation. While museums and galleries are meant to be safe spaces for creativity and expression, venue owners have a legal responsibility to ensure that their installations don’t put visitors at risk. This case is a reminder that negligence in public spaces—no matter how artistic—can lead to serious harm. ⸻ The Incident: Slippery Design Puts Visitor at Risk Our client visited a contemporary gallery in Manhattan that featured an interactive staircase-style exhibit, encouraging visitors to climb and explore. Unfortunately, the structure was dangerously slick and lacked proper grip or warnings. As our client descended the exhibit, he lost his footing and fell, suffering a painful knee injury. What was meant to be a fun, immersive experience quickly turned into a painful and costly ordeal. ⸻ The Injury: Knee Surgery Required The fall caused a significant knee injury, including damage that ultimately required surgical repair. Beyond the physical pain, our client faced medical bills, time off work, and emotional stress—all stemming from an avoidable accident. ⸻ The Legal Outcome: Fast Settlement, No Litigation Attorney Justin Blitz handled the case with urgency and compassion. Rather than enter into a lengthy lawsuit, Blitz Law Group was able to negotiate a $140,000 settlement before litigation even began, ensuring our client received fair compensation quickly. ⸻ The Bigger Picture: Safety in Public Spaces Matters Interactive art has become increasingly popular, but that doesn’t excuse poor planning or unsafe design. Property owners and event organizers have a duty of care to their visitors. That means ensuring surfaces are non-slip, clearly marking hazards, and maintaining safe conditions—especially when encouraging physical interaction. When that duty is neglected, and someone gets hurt, the injured party has every right to seek justice. ⸻ Injured at a Gallery or Public Venue? Know Your Rights Whether you’re visiting an art gallery, museum, or any public attraction in New York, you deserve to feel safe. If you’re ever injured on someone else’s property due to their negligence, here’s what you should do: ✅ Seek medical attention immediately 📸 Document the scene and your injuries 📄 Report the incident to the venue 📞 Call an experienced personal injury attorney ⸻ Blitz Law Group Is Here to Help If you or someone you know has suffered an injury due to unsafe conditions at a public venue, contact Blitz Law Group today.

$150,000 Settlement Secured for Client Injured in Dog Bite Incident in Central Park At Blitz Law Group, we understand how traumatic and unexpected animal attacks can be—especially when they happen in the heart of New York City. Recently, our firm, led by attorney Justin Blitz, secured a $150,000 settlement for a client who was bitten by a dog in Central Park. This case serves as an important reminder that even in public spaces like parks, pet owners are legally responsible for controlling their animals and preventing injuries to others. ⸻ The Incident: An Afternoon Walk Gone Wrong Our client, a Manhattan resident, was enjoying a walk in Central Park with her Bernese Mountain Dog. As she approached the carousel path near the northern exit, a golden retriever, off-leash and unrestrained, suddenly charged toward them. Reacting instinctively to protect her dog, our client raised her hand—only to be bitten multiple times on her right hand by the approaching retriever. ⸻ The Injuries: Serious Hand Fractures The bite resulted in fractures to three bones in her hand: the 3rd, 4th, and 5th metacarpals—the bones that run from the wrist to the fingers. These injuries caused significant pain, limited mobility, and required medical intervention and ongoing care. ⸻ The Legal Strategy: Fast Resolution Without Trial Without needing to go through a lengthy litigation process, Justin Blitz was able to negotiate directly with the dog owner’s homeowners insurance company. Thanks to a proactive and strategic approach, we reached a $150,000 settlement that fairly compensated our client for her pain, suffering, and medical costs. ⸻ What to Do If You’re Bitten by a Dog in NYC Dog bites are more than just painful—they can lead to serious injury, infection, and long-term trauma. If you’re bitten by a dog in New York, here’s what you should do immediately: ✅ Get medical attention – Always prioritize your health. ✅ Take photos of your injuries and the dog (if possible). ✅ Get witness info – Anyone nearby may be able to help support your case. ✅ Report the incident – Call 311 or notify park authorities. ✅ Call a personal injury attorney – Dog bite cases often involve homeowners insurance policies. A lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve. ⸻ You Deserve a Lawyer Who Will Fight for You Dog owners have a legal duty to prevent their pets from harming others. When that duty is breached, Blitz Law Group is here to make sure victims are heard and compensated. If you or someone you know has been injured in a dog attack, don’t wait to get legal help. 📞 Call us at (212) 871-1300 📧 Email info@blitzlawgroup.com 🌐 Visit https://www.blitzlawgroup.com 📱 Follow us on social media @blitz_law_group You don’t pay us unless we win.

$275,000 Medical Malpractice Settlement for Elderly Client After Spinal Surgery Error At Blitz Law Group, we’re committed to fighting for patients whose trust in the medical system has been broken. In one of our recent medical malpractice cases, attorney Justin Blitz secured a $275,000 settlement for a 70-year-old client whose life was turned upside down after a preventable surgical decision led to devastating spinal complications. ⸻ A Patient’s Trust, A Doctor’s Responsibility Our client suffered from a complicated back injury that initially required spinal surgery and the implantation of hardware to support her spine. However, the hardware later caused discomfort, and she sought to have it removed. Her surgeon originally advised against the procedure, expressing concern that her low body weight might prevent her spine from withstanding the stress of hardware removal. He told her she needed to gain weight before undergoing another operation. Despite not meeting the weight threshold, the surgeon proceeded with the surgery anyway, removing the hardware. The result? Her spine collapsed. ⸻ The Aftermath: Multiple Surgeries and Permanent Changes The consequences were severe. Following the collapse of her spine, our client had to undergo multiple corrective surgeries to stabilize her spine and restore the upright position of her neck. What should have been a cautious, medically sound decision instead became a painful journey marked by:     •    Physical suffering     •    Emotional distress     •    Financial burden     •    Loss of independence and quality of life ⸻ Holding Medical Professionals Accountable This case was about more than just a surgical error—it was about disregarding clear medical advice and endangering a vulnerable patient. Doctors have a duty to follow standards of care, especially when dealing with elderly or high-risk patients. When they fail to do so, the consequences can be life-altering. Justin Blitz pursued the case aggressively, engaging in extensive litigation and negotiation with both the surgeon’s legal team and the hospital’s attorneys. Thanks to this effort, we secured a $275,000 settlement that will help cover the costs of additional treatment and provide some measure of justice for what our client endured. ⸻ What to Do If You Suspect Medical Malpractice If you believe a medical professional’s mistake has caused you or a loved one harm, here are the steps to take: ✅ Get a second opinion and document your symptoms ✅ Request your full medical records ✅ Document every conversation and procedure ✅ Speak with an experienced medical malpractice attorney immediately ⸻ Blitz Law Group Is Here for You Medical malpractice cases are some of the most complex and emotional legal matters. They require a legal team that understands both the law and the human impact.

$350,000 Settlement for Tenant Injured After Falling Through Floor in Great Neck NY Rental Home At Blitz Law Group, we fight for tenants who are injured due to unsafe living conditions. In a recent case, attorney Fred Schulman secured a $350,000 settlement for a 41-year-old woman who suffered serious injuries after falling through a defective floorboard in the rental home she occupied in Great Neck, NY. ⸻ A Simple Accident Revealed a Serious Hazard Linsfranc Injury Illustration Our client was simply going about her evening when the incident occurred. Her young daughter accidentally spilled a bottle of nail polish on the living room floor. As any parent would, our client stood up to grab napkins from the dining room table to clean the spill. But as she made her way across the living room, a dangerous and defective floorboard gave out, causing her to trip and fall through the floor. The fall resulted in severe injuries to her ankle, including:     •    Lisfranc fractures     •    Rupture of Lisfranc ligaments These painful and complex injuries required two surgeries to repair, significantly impacting our client’s mobility, quality of life, and ability to care for her family. ⸻ The Landlord’s Responsibility Landlords are legally obligated to maintain safe and habitable living conditions. This includes regularly inspecting the property and addressing hazardous conditions like weak floorboards or unstable structures. When they fail to do so, tenants are put at serious risk—and landlords can be held liable for their negligence. In this case, litigation revealed that the defective flooring was a known and preventable hazard, which should have been repaired or replaced before the property was rented. ⸻ Justice Through Litigation Fred Schulman, Esq. After extensive discovery and negotiations, Fred Schulman resolved the case through mediation, securing $350,000 in compensation for our client. The settlement covers medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care related to her ankle injuries. ⸻ What to Do If You’re Injured in a Rental Property If you’re injured due to dangerous conditions in your home or apartment, follow these steps to protect your rights: ✅ Seek medical attention immediately ✅ Report the incident to the landlord in writing ✅ Document everything – take photos of the hazard and your injuries ✅ Contact a personal injury attorney experienced in premises liability cases ⸻ Blitz Law Group Fights for Injured Tenants Unsafe rental properties are far too common—and we’re here to hold negligent landlords accountable.

$900,000 Medical Malpractice Settlement for Hip Surgery Gone Wrong At Blitz Law Group, we are committed to holding medical professionals accountable when their negligence causes life-altering harm. We recently secured a $900,000 settlement for a 67-year-old client who suffered a permanent foot drop following a botched hip replacement surgery. ⸻ The Case: Nerve Damage After Routine Hip Surgery Our client required a total hip replacement due to a debilitating degenerative condition that affected his mobility and quality of life. Unfortunately, instead of relieving his pain, the surgery left him with permanent nerve damage. During the operation, the surgeon improperly placed a retractor through soft tissue, damaging the femoral nerve—a critical nerve responsible for leg movement and sensation. This injury caused a permanent foot drop, a condition where the front of the foot drags due to muscle weakness or nerve damage. The malpractice was confirmed when, during a later nerve decompression surgery, a significant amount of scar tissue was found wrapped around the femoral nerve, indicating surgical trauma. ⸻ The Fight for Justice Medical malpractice cases are notoriously difficult and complex. Hospitals and insurance carriers often refuse to admit fault, even when the evidence is clear. But at Blitz Law Group, we know how to build a strong case. Through extensive litigation, expert testimony, and a rigorous discovery process, we demonstrated that the surgical team deviated from the accepted standard of care. On the eve of trial, we secured a $900,000 settlement for our client—giving him the financial support he needs to manage his condition and move forward. ⸻ What to Do If You Suspect Medical Malpractice If you or a loved one has experienced serious complications after a medical procedure, it’s critical to take action quickly: ✅ Get a second medical opinion A new doctor can confirm whether the injury was preventable or the result of a medical error. ✅ Request your medical records These documents are essential for understanding what went wrong and for your attorney to review. ✅ Contact a medical malpractice attorney You have a limited time to file a claim. In New York, the statute of limitations is typically 2.5 years from the date of the malpractice—or from the end of continuous treatment. ⸻ Blitz Law Group Fights for Victims of Medical Negligence We’re not afraid to go head-to-head with hospitals and large insurance companies.

It’s a reminder that freedom is never free—and that every right we protect, whether in a courtroom or on a battlefield, comes at a cost. As a law firm committed to fighting for justice, we carry this spirit of service into the work we do every day. Whether we’re standing up for injury victims or holding powerful institutions accountable, we are guided by the same values—integrity, duty, and unwavering commitment to doing what’s right.

How I Started My Own NYC Personal Injury Law Firm Starting a law firm is never easy. But for Justin Blitz, the decision to build Blitz Law Group wasn’t about ambition—it was about integrity. In the latest video from our “Behind the Blitz” series, Justin shares the pivotal moment in his career when he made the bold choice to leave his father’s law firm. What pushed him to walk away? The discovery that one of the firm’s managing partners was secretly stealing money from the rest of the team. When the truth came out, Justin did what many others wouldn’t: he fought back. Justin sued the partner. He won. But that was only the beginning. Building a new personal injury law firm in NYC from the ground up meant long hours, big risks, and a relentless pursuit of justice. And as fate would have it, the final case tied to that former partner—a personal injury case against the City of New York—would become one of the most significant moments in Justin’s career. After years of litigation and a commitment to see it through, that case settled for $34 million, one of the largest known settlements against the City. This story is more than just a legal victory. It’s a reminder of what Blitz Law Group stands for:     •    Integrity even when it’s inconvenient.     •    Accountability even when no one else is watching.     •    Unshakable dedication to the people we serve. If you haven’t yet, watch the full video now on our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@blitzlawgroup) to hear Justin tell the story in his own words. It’s a powerful reminder of why we fight so hard for our clients—and why we’ll never stop. Need an attorney who will go the distance for you?

Photo credit: Pavel Danilyuk Finding a Personal Injury Lawyer Who Combines Empathy and Strength When you’ve been injured because of someone else’s negligence, hiring a personal injury lawyer isn’t just about legal strategy. It’s about choosing someone who will stand by you — who understands what you’re going through, and who will fight tirelessly to get you the justice you deserve. At Blitz Law Group, we’ve seen firsthand how important it is for clients to have an attorney who balances empathy with strength. Both are essential — and here’s why. Empathy Helps Your Lawyer Truly Understand Your Case A good lawyer knows the law. A great lawyer takes the time to understand how your injury has affected every aspect of your life — physically, emotionally, and financially. Empathy means: – Listening closely to your story – Understanding the pain, stress, and disruption the injury has caused – Taking into account your long-term medical needs, lost wages, and quality of life – Making you feel heard and respected every step of the way When your attorney truly understands what you’ve been through, they can tell your story more powerfully — to insurance companies, judges, and juries. This can make all the difference in the outcome of your case. Strength Makes Sure You Get the Compensation You Deserve Empathy alone isn’t enough. Personal injury law — especially in a place like New York — is competitive and adversarial. Insurance companies don’t hand out fair settlements willingly. You need a lawyer who will fight hard on your behalf. That strength looks like: – Relentless negotiation with insurance adjusters – Preparing every case like it’s going to trial, even if it settles – Refusing to accept lowball offers – Using deep legal knowledge and experience to outmaneuver defense lawyers – Taking your case all the way to trial if necessary to secure justice At Blitz Law Group, our track record speaks for itself. We’ve recovered millions for clients because we refuse to back down. Why Both Matter A lawyer who’s all empathy but no backbone might sympathize with you — but won’t get you the results you deserve. On the other hand, a lawyer who’s aggressive but cold may not fully understand how much your injury has cost you — and that can weaken your case. You need both. We believe our clients deserve a legal team that understands their pain and fights like hell to make things right. It’s why we take the time to get to know every client personally — and why we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. Our head attorney, Justin Blitz, fights for his clients with vigorous strategy, while really being there for his clients through an emotionally-heavy time. Our clients can attest to this, and we will help you every step of the way to get your justice. If You’ve Been Injured, We’re Here to Help If you or someone you know has been injured in an accident in New York, contact Blitz Law Group for a free consultation. You don’t pay us a dime unless we win your case. Call us today at (212) 871-1300 or visit blitzlawgroup.com/contact to get started.

How Justin Blitz Became a Personal Injury Attorney — And Why He Fights for Injury Victims Every Day At Blitz Law Group, we often say that experience matters. But experience alone doesn’t tell the whole story — the “why” behind a lawyer’s career is just as important. In our newest video, “How I Became a Personal Injury Attorney,” founding partner Justin Blitz shares the story of how he left the world of music contract law and found his passion in fighting for injury victims. From Music Contracts to Personal Injury Law After earning his law degree, Justin began his career working in the music industry, drafting and negotiating contracts for artists and labels. But it wasn’t long before he realized that his true calling was elsewhere — in the courtroom, advocating for people who had been hurt and needed a champion. In 2003, Justin joined his father Bert Blitz’s personal injury law firm. Despite working under the mentorship of his father, he faced an uphill climb. Many of the firm’s other managing partners were skeptical of the “new kid.” They handed him a case that no one else thought was worth pursuing: a negligence claim that seemed impossible to win, with just three weeks to prepare before trial. A Turning Point Case Justin didn’t back down. He poured everything he had into that case — and walked away with an incredible settlement for his client. That victory not only changed the trajectory of his career but solidified his passion for personal injury law. From that moment on, Justin committed his practice to standing up for people who are injured and too often ignored or underestimated — just like he was early in his career. Why This Matters to You Since that first case, Justin Blitz has built a reputation as one of New York City’s most effective and compassionate personal injury lawyers. His drive comes from personal experience: fighting for underdogs and winning tough cases others overlook. If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident, you deserve an attorney who will fight relentlessly to get you the compensation you need to recover and move forward.

May Day: A Time to Reflect on the Importance of Law in Our Lives Every year on May 1st, we celebrate a day that goes beyond spring flowers and warm weather. While many associate “May Day” with international labor movements or seasonal festivals, in the United States, May 1st carries another powerful meaning — Law Day. Law Day is a national day of recognition, first established in 1958 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, to honor the role of law in the foundation of our country and to remind us how it shapes our democracy, protects our freedoms, and ensures justice for all. At Blitz Law Group, we see the importance of law every single day. It’s not just something that happens in courtrooms or legal offices — it’s what protects people in their daily lives, especially when they’ve been injured and need someone to stand up for their rights. Why Law Day Matters Law Day encourages all Americans to reflect on how the law impacts society — from safeguarding civil rights to ensuring a fair legal process. It’s a reminder that no one is above the law, and that legal protections are the backbone of a free, fair, and just society. The law guarantees:     •    Equal protection under the law     •    The right to a fair trial     •    Freedom of speech, assembly, and religion     •    Access to remedies when wronged or injured These principles aren’t just lofty ideals — they are rights that affect every corner of our lives, including the work we do here at Blitz Law Group. How the Law Protects Injury Victims For personal injury victims, the law is often the only tool available to seek justice. When someone is hurt due to negligence — whether in a car accident, a fall on a broken sidewalk, or an incident involving government negligence — the law provides a path to compensation and accountability. Without clear legal protections, injury victims could be left to bear the cost of their medical care, lost wages, and suffering on their own. That’s why our mission at Blitz Law Group is to fight tirelessly for the injured — to ensure that the promise of the law is real, not just theoretical. Law Day 2025 Theme: Voices of Democracy This year’s Law Day theme, “Voices of Democracy”, invites us to remember that democracy and the rule of law go hand in hand. Every voice matters, and every person deserves access to justice — regardless of wealth, status, or background. It’s a theme that resonates deeply with us, because in personal injury law, giving a voice to those who have been hurt and silenced is the core of what we do. Final Thoughts On May 1st, we invite our clients, colleagues, and community to reflect on how the law has shaped their lives — and how it continues to protect all of us, especially when we need it most. If you’ve been injured and don’t know where to turn, remember: The law is here to protect you — and so are we. Contact Blitz Law Group for a free consultation. We’re ready to help you assert your rights and seek the justice you deserve. Contact us at (212) 871-1300 or visit blitzlawgroup.com/contact

If you’ve filed a personal injury lawsuit in New York, you may be wondering: why does it take so long to settle a case? And why do so many settlements happen right before trial? Watch our latest FAQ video to learn more. At Blitz Law Group, we’ve successfully handled thousands of cases, and we’ve seen a consistent pattern — most personal injury cases settle at the end of litigation, not at the beginning. Here’s why. ⸻ FAQ: Most Personal Injury Cases Settle at the End of Litigation Because: 1. Insurance Companies Don’t Offer Fair Settlements Early On At the beginning of your case, insurance companies are rarely motivated to pay what your injury is actually worth. Early offers are often “lowball” settlements, designed to test whether a plaintiff will accept a fast payout rather than go through a lengthy litigation process. These offers don’t usually reflect the true costs of your pain, medical care, lost wages, or long-term damages. ⸻ 2. Trial Preparation Puts Pressure on Defendants As your legal team prepares for trial—submitting evidence, securing medical experts, deposing witnesses—the defense starts to see that you’re serious. They also see the potential risks: if they lose at trial, they might owe much more than what they could offer in a settlement. When the facts are against them and the courtroom clock is ticking, defendants are more likely to settle for a fair amount. ⸻ 3. Judges Often Encourage Settlement During pre-trial conferences, judges frequently urge both sides to resolve the matter outside of court. Courts are overloaded, and trials are expensive for all parties. When a judge sees a case that’s mature and ready for resolution, they’ll often push for serious settlement discussions—especially if liability is clear and damages are well-documented. ⸻ 4. Plaintiffs Gain Leverage Over Time By the time we reach the end of litigation, we’ve built a strong case. Medical records, accident reports, witness statements, expert opinions, and day-in-the-life videos all combine to show the full extent of your injury and suffering. That leverage gives us negotiating power and puts pressure on the defense to resolve the case before risking an unpredictable jury verdict. ⸻ 5. Clients Deserve Maximum Compensation — Even if it Takes Time Our clients hire us to fight for justice, not just quick checks. And sometimes, justice takes time. While we’re always open to a fair and timely resolution, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. That approach consistently leads to better settlement offers—especially near the end of litigation, when the defense knows we’re not afraid to take a case to verdict. ⸻ What You Should Expect as a Client If you’re injured and pursuing a personal injury claim, know this: the legal process can be long, and it requires patience and trust. But when you work with Blitz Law Group, you can rest assured that we’re fighting for the best possible outcome—no matter how long it takes. You may not hear much about what happens behind the scenes, but trust that we’re pushing every step of the way: gathering evidence, preparing arguments, and negotiating relentlessly. ⸻ Need Legal Help After a Serious Injury?
