How Law Firms Appear

“Top-rated” and “Top” refer to law firms with strong publicly available consumer ratings and feedback, including information from third-party sources and reviews submitted on the Elite Litigators platform, and as determined by Elite Litigators’ proprietary methodology.

Law firms labeled as “Featured” or with the Featured Gavel icon are paid advertisements or paid placements. Law firms labeled as “Verified” participate in Elite Litigators’ Verified Program, which is an attorney advertising program and may include compensation for advertising or enhanced placement.

Elite Litigators displays badges next to Verified and/or Featured law firms. Badges are not displayed for law firms that are not Verified and not participating in Featured placements.

Inclusion, labeling, placement, or participation in any Elite Litigators program does not constitute and does not imply an endorsement, recommendation, guarantee of results, or that the quality of legal services provided by any law firm is greater than that of other lawyers or law firms.

Displayed numerical scores are proprietary ratings calculated by Elite Litigators based on aggregate consumer feedback, including publicly available reviews, client reviews submitted to our platform, professional milestones such as experience and case results, and qualitative factors evaluated under our proprietary methodology. Ratings do not guarantee a specific outcome for your case, nor do they imply that a firm’s services are superior to those of others with different ratings.

Elite Litigators’ ratings are calculated on a state specific basis, meaning a law firm’s score may differ from state to state. With the exception of Southern California and Upstate New York, which are treated as separate rating jurisdictions, ratings are calculated at the state level and are comparative to and influenced by other law firms evaluated within that same jurisdiction. Ratings are not calculated at the city or metropolitan level, and firms operating in multiple cities within a state are evaluated using data aggregated at the state level.

Elite Litigators assigns ratings only to law firms participating in its Verified Program. Law firms that are not verified may appear on the platform but are not rated.

Morgan & Morgan Profile & Reviews

Personal Injury Law Firm in All 50 States
All 50 States
(866) 549-2161
Morgan & Morgan is a national personal injury law firm representing individuals harmed by negligence in motor vehicle accidents, premises liability... incidents, product-related injuries, and other serious injury matters. Founded in 1988, the firm has grown into one of the largest plaintiff-focused injury practices in the United States, with offices across multiple states and a practice centered on pursuing compensation for injured individuals and families. Morgan & Morgan is widely known for its contingency fee model and its long-standing focus on representing individuals against insurance companies, corporations, and other well-resourced defendants. The firm handles cases that range from more straightforward injury claims to complex disputes involving significant damages, contested liability, or prolonged litigation. This allows the legal teams to pursue matters that require both persistence and the ability to commit substantial legal resources over time. Injury-Focused Representation at Scale Morgan & Morgan’s practice is built almost entirely around personal injury law. Rather than operating as a general-practice firm, its attorneys concentrate on injury-related claims, developing experience across recurring accident types and liability scenarios. This focus supports a consistent approach to investigating claims, valuing damages, and responding to defense strategies commonly used by insurers and corporate defendants. Cases are handled with an eye toward preparation from the outset. Even when a matter is resolved through settlement, the firm’s approach emphasizes building the claim as though litigation may be required—gathering records, consulting experts when appropriate, and documenting damages in a way that supports full case value rather than quick resolution. Case Handling and Client Access Morgan & Morgan promotes accessibility as a core part of its practice model. Clients typically engage with a legal team that manages communications with insurance carriers, coordinates documentation, and tracks procedural deadlines as a case moves forward. This structure is intended to reduce the administrative burden on injured individuals while keeping their claims active and moving toward resolution. In many injury matters, clients can expect support that includes: Direct handling of insurance communications and settlement negotiations Collection and organization of records needed to document damages Case development geared toward resolution through settlement or litigation, depending on how the matter progresses Contingency-fee representation in many cases, meaning attorney fees are generally tied to recovery rather than paid upfront Representing Injury Clients Across the United States With offices across the country, Morgan & Morgan handles personal injury claims in multiple jurisdictions while keeping its practice centered on injury law. The firm’s national reach can be a strong fit for clients who value broad coverage and the ability to pursue a claim with a team that routinely works across state lines.Read More

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury in New York

How much will I receive in compensation for my personal injury claim?

The compensation you may receive for a personal injury claim can depend on a number of factors, including the severity of your injuries, the extent of your medical bills, your loss of earnings, and the impact of the injury on your quality of life. It's difficult to give a specific figure without knowing the details of your case. A personal injury attorney can help you estimate the potential value of your claim.

How is compensation calculated for a personal injury claim?

Compensation for a personal injury claim is typically calculated based on both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include things like medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. Non-economic damages cover things like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. The specifics can vary depending on the laws of your state.

What are common types of damages awarded in personal injury claims?

Common types of damages awarded in personal injury claims include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium (loss of companionship), and in some cases, punitive damages, which are meant to punish the negligent party.

How long will it take to receive compensation for my personal injury claim?

The timeline for receiving compensation in a personal injury claim can vary widely depending on the specifics of your case. Factors that can affect the timeline include the complexity of the case, the willingness of the other party to settle, and the court schedule.

What if the responsible party does not have insurance to cover my personal injury claim?

If the responsible party does not have insurance, you may have to file a lawsuit against them directly. If you have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage as part of your own auto insurance policy, that may provide compensation in a car accident case. In some situations, there may be other avenues for compensation as well.

Do I need an attorney to file a personal injury claim?

While it's not required to have an attorney to file a personal injury claim, it's often beneficial. An attorney can navigate the legal system, negotiate with insurance companies, and advocate for your best interests to help you receive the maximum possible compensation.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in New York?

Many personal injury lawyers in New York work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. The fee is usually a percentage of your settlement or award. The specific amount can vary depending on the lawyer and the complexity of your case.

What are the benefits of hiring a personal injury lawyer?

Hiring a personal injury lawyer can offer several benefits. They can help you understand your rights, gather and analyze evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary. They can also help ensure you receive the full compensation you're entitled to for your injuries.

What should I look for when choosing a personal injury attorney?

When choosing a personal injury attorney, consider their experience, reputation, and track record with cases similar to yours. Look for an attorney who listens to you, communicates clearly, and shows a strong interest in your case. It can also be helpful to read reviews or get recommendations from people you trust.

What should I bring to my first meeting with a personal injury attorney?

Bring any documentation you have related to your injury, such as medical records, police reports, and correspondence with insurance companies. Also bring any evidence you have, like photos or witness contact information. It can also be helpful to write down a timeline of events and any questions you have for the attorney.

What is the process for filing a personal injury claim in New York?

The process for filing a personal injury claim in New York typically starts with gathering evidence of your injury and the circumstances that caused it. Next, your attorney will likely attempt to negotiate a settlement with the at-fault party's insurance company. If a settlement can't be reached, your attorney can file a lawsuit on your behalf. After the lawsuit is filed, both sides will exchange information in a process called discovery. If the case doesn't settle during this stage, it will go to trial, where a judge or jury will decide the outcome.

What types of personal injury cases do lawyers typically handle?

Personal injury lawyers handle a wide variety of cases, including car accidents, slip and fall incidents, medical malpractice, product liability, workplace accidents, and more. They are equipped to handle cases where someone has been harmed due to the negligence or wrongdoing of another party.

What happens if I lose my personal injury case?

If you lose your personal injury case at trial, you typically will not receive any compensation for your injuries. However, you may have options depending on the specifics of your case, such as filing an appeal. It's best to discuss these matters with your attorney.

How can a personal injury lawyer help if the person at fault has no insurance?

Even if the person at fault has no insurance, a personal injury lawyer can explore other avenues for compensation. This may include investigating if there are other liable parties, such as employers or property owners, or pursuing a personal judgment against the individual at fault. The lawyer can also help you navigate your own insurance policy, as you might be able to make a claim under your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage if the incident was a traffic accident.
