Plain-English guidance for injured New Yorkers, on the money side of an injury that our firm actually handles (medical debt, collections, and credit), plus neutral explainers on how New York injury claims work. Rausa Russo Law does not practice personal injury law; injury claims are handled by the attorney we refer you to.
How accident medical bills reach collections, what the FDCPA and FCRA let you do about it, and New York's medical-debt reporting ban.
The squeeze between an injury and pre-settlement bills, your FDCPA rights, and protecting your credit while you wait.
What New York law really protects (and what it does not), the bankruptcy-only $7,500 myth, and when a collector’s threat to seize your settlement violates the FDCPA.
The general New York filing deadlines by claim type, and the much shorter 90-day clock for claims against public entities.
A neutral walk-through of how a New York injury claim moves: investigation, demand, suit, discovery, settlement, trial.
Attorney AdvertisingAttorney Advertising. This page describes a referral service. Rausa Russo Law, PLLC does not litigate personal injury cases in-house. Personal injury matters are handled by an experienced personal injury attorney in our referral network. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. When we refer a personal injury matter, the attorney who handles it will explain their fee in their own written agreement. If our firm shares in that fee, it will do so only as New York’s Rule 1.5(g) permits: you must agree in writing after full disclosure of each lawyer’s share, each lawyer assumes joint responsibility for the representation in a writing given to you, and the total fee must not be excessive.
