Jaroslawicz & Jaros, PLLC is a New York City personal injury law firm with a track record built over more than four decades. Founded in 1980, the firm has recovered more than $1 billion in verdicts and settlements for clients injured by the negligence of others. Its attorneys, led by founders David Jaroslawicz and Abraham Jaros, bring a combined record of trial and appellate experience that the firm describes as spanning several centuries across its roster. That combination of longevity, recovered value, and direct attorney involvement forms the foundation of the firm’s identity as a New York City personal injury practice.
Services
Jaroslawicz & Jaros represents clients across nearly every category of personal injury claim. The firm handles motor vehicle accidents of all kinds, including car, truck, motorcycle, taxi, bus, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents, along with medical malpractice, construction accidents, premises liability and slip and fall incidents, nursing home negligence, defective drug and medication error claims, disability and life insurance disputes, and wrongful death claims. Each of these areas is supported by a firm-wide practice of direct attorney involvement rather than case hand-offs to support staff. Taken together, this range of services positions the firm to represent clients through nearly any personal injury scenario that arises in New York City.
Who They Serve
The firm’s client base centers on people harmed by accidents and negligence across New York City. This includes victims of motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, and construction site injuries, as well as families pursuing wrongful death claims and individuals affected by nursing home abuse or neglect. The firm also serves Spanish-speaking clients and accepts clients who are dissatisfied with the responsiveness of a current attorney, taking over their case with no additional attorney fees. Across each of these groups, the common thread is a client who needs direct, sustained attorney attention during a difficult period.
Value Propositions
Jaroslawicz & Jaros distinguishes its client experience through accessibility and financial structure. Clients receive direct access to their attorney, including by personal cell phone, rather than being routed through paralegals or assistants, and cases are handled on a contingency fee basis so clients pay no upfront costs. The firm also offers free consultations and free transportation to medical appointments for clients who are unable to travel on their own. These practical commitments, combined with more than $1 billion in recovered verdicts and settlements since 1980, are presented on the firm’s site as the core reasons clients choose to work with the practice.
Differentiators
What separates Jaroslawicz & Jaros from other personal injury practices, according to its own site content, is the specific trial and appellate record of its founding attorneys. David Jaroslawicz has argued cases before the United States Supreme Court, the New York State Court of Appeals, and multiple federal circuit courts. Abraham Jaros obtained the first million-dollar medical malpractice verdict in Sullivan County, New York, and the first two-million-dollar verdict in Albany County. Both attorneys, along with attorney Natascia Ayers, have been named Top 100 Trial Lawyers by the National Trial Lawyers, and the firm writes and argues its own appellate briefs rather than outsourcing appeals. This combination of top-tier individual recognition and in-house appellate capability is what the firm points to as evidence of its trial strength.
