30 Vesey Street, New York, NY 10007

Aggressive, experienced, successful personal injury lawyers and attorneys who have recovered multi-million dollar awards for our clients in all kinds of injury and wrongful death cases.

  • We recover money damages and compensation for people injured in construction site accidents, auto, bus, train, and pedestrian accidents, medical malpractice, defective products and wrongful death cases.

    The way you handle the recovery of damages for the injury will have a very large influence on the life of the victim and his or her family, especially in the case of catastrophic injuries. The best way of handling the recovery of damages is to retain an aggressive, experienced, successful personal injury lawyer, one who can bring you the maximum damage award.

    Jeffrey Rich and Marc Rich are two such lawyers, as you can see by the damage awards they have obtained for their clients [column to the right.] That's the result of constant diligence, creative minds and hard work for their clients, on every case they accept.

  • Construction site injuries are usually difficult cases for the injured person, because of overlapping and sometimes conflicting New York state laws. Rich & Rich have had unusual success for our clients in such cases.

  • Rich & Rich's legal fees come only from money recovered for clients. A cash advance for legal fees is not required from our clients.

    When you or a family member is injured so severely that life will never be the same again, it is a family and personal tragedy. It also may be one of the largest financial transactions you will ever be involved in.

    The sooner you discuss your injuries with an experienced personal injury lawyer, the better your chances of recovering a substantial amount of damages. By delaying this important first step - which doesn't cost you anything - you may risk your recovery of damages. Important witnesses and critical evidence may become unavailable. Important court papers may not be filed before the deadline.

    A conversation with one of our lawyers will provide you with answers to many of your questions. Why wait? Call now!
