If You Were Hurt in Westchester County, Here's What You Need to Know
New York gives most personal injury victims three years from the date of injury to file a claim. That window sounds long, but evidence disappears, witnesses move on, and insurance companies use delay against you. The sooner you have an attorney reviewing your case, the stronger your position. Claims against cities, towns and publicentities have much shorter deadlines and more complicated procedures.
If your injury involved a construction site, the timeline and your legal options may be different. Under New York Labor Law Sections 240 and 241(6), injured construction workers can pursue claims well beyond what workers' compensation covers — including against property owners and general contractors. Most workers don't know this right exists until it's explained to them.
A free consultation costs nothing. Waiting can.
Every Type of Case We Handle in Westchester County And NYC
Tomkiel & Tomkiel represents clients across more than 30 injury categories. Whether your case involves a job site, a car accident, a dangerous property, or a catastrophic diagnosis, we've handled cases like yours — and we can tell you quickly whether you have a claim worth pursuing.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car, truck, motorcycle, bus, Uber and Lyft, bicycle, scooter, pedestrian, train, boat, and aviation accidents across Westchester County and beyond.
Scaffolding, cranes, falls from height, ladder failures, electrocution, unsecured materials, filter explosions, and elevator incidents. New York Labor Law 240 gives construction workers in Westchester County the right to pursue compensation far beyond a standard workers' comp claim — and we've secured millions using it.
Injured on the job? Workers' comp may not be your only option. We help clients understand when a separate personal injury claim applies — and pursue it when it does.
Property owners across New York City and Westchester County are required by law to maintain safe conditions. When they fail that obligation and someone gets hurt, we hold them accountable.
Catastrophic & Serious Injuries
Brain injuries, spinal cord damage, paralysis, burns, broken bones, and knee injuries require a different level of legal strategy. The stakes are higher, the damages are greater, and the fight is harder. We've been here before.
Additional Claims
Dog bites, product liability, and wrongful death cases are handled with the same direct attorney access and contingency fee structure as every other case we take.

Your Case. Your Attorney. Direct.
At Tomkiel & Tomkiel, you know who is handling your case from day one. You have their number. They pick up. When you need an update, you call your attorney — not a general intake line staffed by someone who has never read your file.
That's not how every firm operates. It's how this one always has.
Free Consultation. No Upfront Cost. No Fee Unless We Win.
You don't need money to find out if you have a case. The consultation is free. If we take your case, we work on contingency — meaning we only get paid when we recover compensation for you. There is no retainer, no hourly bill, and no financial risk to making the call.
Call or text 914-723-1700. We have a 24-hour answering service and office hours Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.
