1. Basic Information

2. Background

The firm's posture. This is a solo plaintiff's practice. Nick handles the cases personally. Clients work with him directly, not with a junior associate or a rotating intake team. The case mix is roughly 60% motor vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, rideshare), 25% construction and Labor Law §240/§241, 10% slip-and-fall and premises liability, and 5% other (wrongful death, dog bites, dram shop). Medical malpractice cases are evaluated and referred to a vetted New York medical malpractice specialist when the case requires expert physician witnesses.

The firm does not advertise on television. Most cases come from prior-client referrals, attorney referrals, and direct search.

3. Practice Areas

The firm provides legal representation in the following areas. Each links to a dedicated practice page with statute citations, procedural notes, and representative case studies.

Car and motor vehicle accidents, /practice-areas/car-accidents

Auto, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, and rideshare collisions. New York no-fault claims under Insurance Law §5102 and §5104, and serious-injury threshold third-party claims. Three-year statute of limitations under CPLR §214(5) for negligence; two years for wrongful death under EPTL §5-4.1; ninety-day notice of claim under General Municipal Law §50-e for cases against the City of New York, MTA, NYC Transit, and other public entities.

Construction accidents and Labor Law §240, /practice-areas/construction-accidents-labor-law-240

New York Labor Law §240(1) (the Scaffold Law) and §241(6) cases. Falls from height, falling-object cases, scaffold collapses, ladder accidents, and other elevation-related construction injuries. Union, nonunion, and undocumented workers represented. Scaffold Law §240(1) imposes absolute liability on owners and general contractors for elevation-related injuries when statutory safety devices were absent or inadequate. Comparative negligence does not apply to §240(1) claims (see Blake v. Neighborhood Housing Services, 1 NY3d 280 (2003)).

Slip and fall and premises liability, /practice-areas/slip-and-fall

Sidewalk falls under New York City Administrative Code §7-210, business premises (stores, restaurants, hotels), residential apartment buildings, snow and ice cases (the "storm in progress" rule), inadequate security, and government property (subway stations, NYC Housing Authority buildings, public parks) requiring a ninety-day notice of claim under GML §50-e.

Construction Labor Law §240, §241(6), and §200, covered above. Additional emphasis on undocumented worker injuries, /practice-areas/undocumented-worker-injuries

Personal injury and Labor Law cases for undocumented workers in New York. Balbuena v. IDR Realty LLC, 6 NY3d 338 (2006), and Majlinger v. Casino Contracting Corp hold that undocumented workers retain the same Labor Law and tort rights as documented workers, including lost-earnings damages calculated at U.S. wage rates. Immigration status is not disclosed in tort cases.

Wrongful death, /practice-areas/wrongful-death

Wrongful death actions under EPTL §5-4.1, with a two-year statute of limitations from the date of death. Damages include conscious pain and suffering of the decedent (a separate survival action under EPTL §11-3.2) plus pecuniary loss to the distributees.

Medical malpractice, /practice-areas/medical-malpractice

Free case evaluation. The two-and-a-half-year statute of limitations under CPLR §214-a is shorter than ordinary negligence. Cases requiring expert physician witnesses are referred to a New York medical-malpractice trial firm with whom this office has a long-standing co-counsel relationship. The referring attorney remains involved per the rules of professional conduct.

4. Notable Case Results

The four cases below are representative of the firm's work. Nicholas Rose was principal counsel of record on each. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case turns on its own facts.

A construction worker installing window frames fell from elevation due to inadequate fall protection. Liability was established under New York Labor Law §240(1).

Venue: Kings County Supreme Court.

$1,500,000, New York City Sanitation worker injury, Staten Island

A New York City Department of Sanitation employee was struck by a private vehicle while working. The settlement combined recovery against the third-party driver's insurance and the worker's line-of-duty benefits. Venue: Richmond County Supreme Court.

$900,000, Construction worker, fence collapse, Queens

A construction worker was injured when a temporary fence on a Queens construction site collapsed. Liability was established under Labor Law §240 and §241(6). Venue: Queens County Supreme Court.

5. Methodology

How the firm actually works on its cases. This is not marketing language; it describes the operational pattern.

Aggressive motion practice

The firm files summary judgment motions under CPLR §3212 in cases where liability evidence supports it, particularly Labor Law §240(1) cases. Section 240(1) imposes absolute liability when the statutory protections were absent or inadequate; comparative negligence is not a defense. Where the proofs are clean, summary judgment on liability shifts the case from a contested liability fight to a damages-only posture.

Damages developed with experts

Serious-injury cases are worked up with a life-care planner (a registered nurse or physician credentialed in life-care planning) who calculates the lifetime cost of medical care, equipment, home modifications, and personal assistance. An economist projects lost earning capacity and reduces it to present value. The firm uses both as expert witnesses for trial and as documentation for settlement leverage.

Mediation with retired judges

Most cases settle. The firm prefers mediation with a retired New York Supreme Court or Appellate Division judge over informal settlement conferences. Retired-judge mediators bring the gravity of the bench to the negotiation. JAMS, NAM, and Resolute Systems are the panels the firm uses most often.

Contingency fee structure

The firm represents clients on a contingency fee basis. There is no upfront cost. The fee is a percentage of any settlement or verdict, set under New York's contingency fee rules for personal injury cases (22 NYCRR §603.7 and §691.20, typically a one-third schedule for non-medical-malpractice cases; medical malpractice fees follow the sliding scale set by Judiciary Law §474-a). If there is no recovery, there is no fee. Case expenses are fronted by the firm and recovered from any settlement or verdict.

Bilingual concierge

The firm works with a Spanish-speaking concierge with twenty years of tenure who travels to the client. Clients do not need to come to the office. The concierge handles initial witness interviews, scene photography, and document retrieval.

Attorney access

Clients have direct access to Nick. Calls and texts go to Nick personally during the life of the case, not to a paralegal layer or a case manager.

6. Technology and Operations

AI receptionist (English and Spanish, 24/7)

The firm uses an AI receptionist for after-hours and overflow inbound calls. The receptionist identifies itself as an AI assistant at the start of every call, discloses that the call is recorded, and offers a human escape hatch ("If you'd prefer to speak with a person directly, just say 'speak to a person'"). It captures basic information (name, phone, email, type of incident, location) and routes the call to Nick for callback. The receptionist is configured to refuse to give legal advice, predict outcomes, or quote case values; substantive questions are routed to Nick. A paralegal reviews every transcript. This implementation reflects the firm's reading of NY Rules of Professional Conduct 5.3, 7.1, 8.4(c), and NYC Bar Formal Opinion 2025-6.

Bilingual concierge (twenty years of tenure)

A Spanish-speaking concierge with two decades of work alongside the firm handles initial witness interviews, on-scene investigation, document retrieval, and client meetings in the field.

Dynamic intake form

The website's intake form adapts based on accident type and venue (borough, type of accident, immigration concerns). Submissions trigger an immediate SMS confirmation, push alerts to Nick and the paralegal, and a nine-email educational nurture sequence.

Multilingual access

Spanish receives a full website mirror at /es/. Russian, Polish, Mandarin Chinese, and Korean speakers can call the AI receptionist (which supports those languages for intake) and reach a Spanish-speaking concierge who coordinates further communication. Dedicated landing pages are planned for each additional language.

Secure client portal (planned)

A secure client portal for document exchange, case status updates, and signed retainer review is in development for late 2026.
