Representing Police Officers & Firefighters
The firm recently obtained a $250,000 settlement for a New York City firefighter lieutenant who sustained burn injuries in a structural fire which was caused by the negligence of a restaurant owner. Under New York State Law, police officers and fire fighters are offered certain protection and rights if injured in the line of duty. Knowing how to investigate a line of duty accident and understanding the applicable laws is critical to successfully representing uniformed officers.
Other cases we have resolved included a $150,000.00 verdict for a retired Nassau County police officer who sustained ankle and rib injuries in an automobile crash in Nassau County, and full policy limits recoveries of the defendant's insurance company for a New York City police officer struck by a drunk driver while in his R.M.P. in Brooklyn.
If you are a uniformed officer who was injured while serving the community, contact the New York police, fire, and emergency vehicle accident attorneys today at (866) 794-1112.

“Phenomenal Team!”
The team here is nothing short of phenomenal. I reached out about my case on a Sunday afternoon from the hospital and we spoke before the evening was over. Since then, they have been happy to answer any question I have, and walked me through the entire process from handling my no-fault insurance to ultimately getting a settlement offer.- Conor
To any cyclist in search of a lawyer who understands the challenges of biking in this city, look no further than Daniel and his team. -
“I am grateful to her and her firm for their expertise and diligence.”
Almost 4 years ago I was struck by a delivery truck while on my bike and suffered a shattered wrist. Cathy Flanzig guided me through the process of bringing a suit against the company that owned the truck and the driver. Ms. Flanzig was professional and compassionate and realistic throughout the whole process. I am grateful to her and her firm for their expertise and diligence.- Kathe D. -
“Combination of legal expertise with a compassionate approach”

From start to finish, Daniel not only holds an impressive depth of legal knowledge, especially in bicycle laws, but also a remarkable commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me. Daniel took the time to thoroughly understand the nuances of my case, patiently listened to my concerns, and provided clear, concise explanations of the legal strategies available. This level of transparency and communication instilled a sense of confidence and reassurance during what was initially a daunting process. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking top-tier legal representation.- Runa R. -
“Supported me since DAY ONE of my 2.5 year journey!”
Daniel Flanzig was with me on DAY ONE of my 2.5 year journey through the fractured legal system following a serious bicycle accident which left me with two broken wrists. The thirteen day hospital stay included surgeries on both, titanium plates implanted on both, and a severe challenge to my mental health and way of life. Unfortunately, I needed two- Marty Keiser
more surgeries on the significantly more damaged right wrist. Dan navigated me through the strained New York City Medical System, still struggling in late 2021 from the wrath of COVID. When the lawsuit needed to be moved to New Jersey, Dan seamlessly transferred the case to Joseph G. Hughes. Both men proved to be upstanding attorneys and outstanding human beings, emotionally invested in my traumatic, drawn-out experience, and committed to reaching the settlement deserved. After matters were resolved by Mr. Hughes, I received a call from Dan, closing this chapter of our time together, but cementing a lifelong connection filled with the utmost respect and gratitude. -

“Daniel & his team handled all the legal heavy lifting & logistics so that it wouldn’t be burden.”
I could not recommend Flanzig & Flanzig more highly for their expertise, skill, professionalism, and care. After being hit by a car, I was hospitalized for a month due to multiple fractures and surgeries and had to undergo intensive physical therapy—during which time Daniel and his team took care of all the medical billing, insurance claims, and legal paperwork so that my family and I could focus on my recovery. Throughout the duration of the matter, Daniel and his team continued to handle all the legal heavy lifting and logistics/administration so that I wouldn’t be burdened, and Daniel was always communicative and proactive in providing updates and answering my questions. Thanks to Daniel’s work, experience, and capability, I received a much more significant settlement on a much faster timeline than expected. I’ve recommended Flanzig & Flanzig to other friends seeking a personal injury attorney, and I am incredibly grateful to Daniel and his team for their continued work and care. Their time, understanding, and expertise mean so much to me and my family for making an incredibly stressful and taxing situation much easier.- Kathryn L.
