Verdicts & Settlements

Everyone Deserves Their Fair Day In Court.Especially Here in The Bronx

An accident changes your life in a split second. One moment you’re driving on the Cross Bronx Expressway or walking to the 1 Train at 231st Street, and the next, you’re facing mounting medical bills, lost wages, and a future of uncertainty.

At Kerner Law Group, P.C., we know the specific pressures Bronx families face. We know that waiting months for a settlement check isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a threat to your rent, your groceries, and your peace of mind.

We are not a faceless volume firm. We are a family-run practice with deep roots in Riverdale and offices across the borough. Led by Stuart M. Kerner and Matthew H. Kerner, we have spent over 30 years navigating the court dockets at Bronx Supreme Court on the Grand Concourse.

We don’t just know the law; we know the Bronx. From the dangerous merge at the Sheridan and Bruckner to the icy sidewalks near the elevated trains, we understand exactly how your accident happened—and we know how to prove it.

maximum compensation for traffic accident

We Fight “Settlement Lag”

While you recover, bills pile up. We aggressively push insurance adjusters to move faster, and we help guide you toward resources that can keep you afloat while we fight for the maximum compensation you deserve. Our attorneys and legal assistants will assist you in all aspects of your case so that you can focus on getting both the medical care and emotional support you need.

We Protect Your Job & Benefits

For our clients in unions or labor trades, an injury is terrifying. You worry about being “voluntarily withdrawn” from the workforce or losing hard-earned benefits. We understand the interplay between Workers’ Compensation and third-party personal injury lawsuits. We fight to ensure your accident doesn’t cost you your career.

We Are Not Intimidated by “Invisible Injuries”

The Serious Injury Threshold in New York is a high bar. Insurance companies love to deny claims for injuries they can’t see, like Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) or PTSD. We work with top medical experts to document the real impact of your pain and suffering, ensuring the court sees the full picture.

The Bronx Accident Landscape: Why Local Knowledge Matters

The Bronx presents unique hazards that out-of-borough lawyers simply don’t understand. Our three decades of experience means we know exactly where accidents happen—and why.

Dangerous Roadways

The Cross Bronx Expressway (I-95) is notorious for rear-end collisions and pile-ups, especially between the Major Deegan and Bruckner interchanges. Heavy truck traffic, aggressive lane changes, and sudden slowdowns create a perfect storm for serious accidents.

The “Sheridan Merge” near the Hunts Point markets sees constant accidents caused by commercial vehicles making dangerous lane changes and speeding to meet delivery deadlines.

High-Risk Intersections like Fordham Road & Grand Concourse or East 138th St & Bruckner Blvd are hotspots for pedestrian knockdowns and sideswipes.

Premises Liability Hazards

Property owners have a duty to keep you safe. We hold landlords and the City accountable for:

Unshoveled Sidewalks: Slip and falls on ice near the elevated train stations along Jerome Ave and White Plains Rd are all too common in winter months.
Apartment Complex Negligence: Trip hazards, poor lighting, and negligent security in buildings across Mott Haven, Hunts Point, and Riverdale.
Potholes & Broken Pavement: Injuries caused by neglected maintenance in commercial parking lots in Pelham Bay or Fordham.

Construction Site Dangers

The Bronx is always building. If you were injured on a job site, Workers’ Comp is rarely enough. We litigate cases under New York Labor Law 240 (The Scaffold Law) to hold third parties liable for falls from heights, falling objects, and industrial code violations.

Cases We Handle in The Bronx

From the Cross Bronx Expressway to the construction sites reshaping our neighborhoods, accidents happen every day in the Bronx. We handle the full spectrum of personal injury cases from motor vehicle collisions, slip and falls, construction injuries, medical malpractice, dog bites, premises liability, police brutality, and wrongful death claims. Insurance companies have lawyers to protect their interests, and so should you. Let us fight for the justice you deserve.
