Relentless Representation for Brooklyn Injury Victims
Brett J. Nomberg, a New York personal injury attorney with over 30 years of experience, offers targeted and aggressive representation for clients injured in Brooklyn. Our team investigates, documents, and litigates your case with a deep understanding of borough-specific regulations, including municipal versus private liability and New York’s labor protections for workers.
If you’ve been injured in an accident in Brooklyn, every minute matters. Whether you slipped on an icy Crown Heights sidewalk, suffered a spinal injury from a construction fall in Downtown Brooklyn, or were T-boned by a distracted driver on Flatbush Avenue, understanding your legal rights is critical.
Why Brooklyn Injury Claims Require Legal Precision
Brooklyn’s unique blend of residential streets, commercial zones, and city-managed infrastructure complicates liability in ways that most injured people don’t anticipate. Many accident claims here hinge on city statutes, notice requirements, and overlapping responsibilities between landlords, contractors, and the City of New York.
Claims filed against the city or a public entity must comply with the strict 90-day filing deadline under General Municipal Law §50-e. Missing that deadline can permanently forfeit your right to compensation — regardless of how clear the negligence was. Brett handles all Notice of Claim filings correctly and on time. He also knows how city agencies respond, how they stall, and exactly how to counter their tactics.
Brooklyn injury cases also intersect with New York’s three-year personal injury statute of limitations under CPLR §214. For claims involving NYCHA, the MTA, the NYC Department of Transportation, or any other public entity, the 90-day Notice of Claim requirement applies on top of that — and it runs first.

Common Types of Brooklyn Injury Cases
As an experienced Brooklyn accident lawyer, Brett handles the full range of personal injury claims across the borough. Each one carries its own legal framework, and Brett knows every one of them.
Car Accidents
Traffic congestion in neighborhoods like East New York and Sunset Park heightens the risk of rear-end collisions and intersection crashes. These cases often invoke the comparative fault doctrine under CPLR §1411, which can reduce compensation based on shared blame. Brett evaluates vehicle damage, street camera footage, and police reports to build the strongest possible case. The firm’s New York car accident statistics page breaks down borough-level crash data in detail.
Construction Accidents
Brooklyn’s building boom has come with a sharp increase in jobsite injuries. Brett leverages Labor Law §240 — the Scaffold Law — to hold property owners and general contractors strictly liable for falls from elevated heights. He also applies Labor Law §241(6), which incorporates New York Industrial Code safety rules. Learn more on the firm’s construction accident page.
Pedestrian Accidents
From Flatbush Avenue to the Brooklyn Museum, pedestrian injuries in Brooklyn are common and often severe. Many cases fall under NY Vehicle and Traffic Law §1151, which gives pedestrians the right-of-way at crosswalks when no traffic control signal is present. Brett handles cases involving distracted drivers, illegal turns, and bus strikes. Read more about NY pedestrian accident law.
Slip and Fall Injuries
Under NYC Administrative Code §7-210, property owners — not the city — are responsible for maintaining the sidewalks abutting their premises. If you tripped on a cracked flagstone or slipped on unshoveled snow, Brett uses incident reports, weather data, and maintenance records to build your case. See the firm’s slip and fall practice page for more.
Workers’ Compensation
Brett assists injured workers in applying for benefits through the New York Workers’ Compensation Board. Whether the injury was caused by repetitive stress, a single traumatic event, or unsafe working conditions, the firm handles both claim filing and appeals.
Damages You May Be Entitled To
Brooklyn injury victims may be entitled to recover across three categories of damages. Economic losses cover medical bills, lost income, and rehabilitation costs. Non-economic damages address pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving egregious misconduct, punitive damages may also be available.
Every category requires documentation, legal argument, and an attorney who understands how Brooklyn juries and defense insurers evaluate claims. Brett knows both sides of that equation — and he prepares every case as though it will go to trial in Kings County Supreme Court.
Filing Requirements and Legal Deadlines
In addition to meeting New York’s general personal injury statute of limitations of three years under CPLR §214, many Brooklyn claims involve property owned by the City of New York or affiliated public entities (e.g., NYCHA, DOT, MTA). These claims must be preceded by a Notice of Claim within 90 days. Failure to file properly can forfeit your right to compensation.
Damages You May Be Entitled To:
- Economic losses: medical bills, lost income, and rehabilitation
- Non-economic damages: pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Punitive damages: in cases of egregious misconduct
Why Choose Brett J. Nomberg for Your Brooklyn Injury Case?
A Record That Speaks for Itself
Brett has tried and settled thousands of injury cases across all five boroughs, Westchester, and Long Island. His verdicts and settlements include results directly tied to Brooklyn cases — including a $1.5 million verdict for a Brooklyn woman struck on a sidewalk by a car, a $1.4 million settlement for a Queens woman who slipped on ice outside her rented apartment, and a $3.9 million settlement after a defense attorney was sanctioned $10,000 for concealing evidence.
Defense firms do not intimidate Brett. They motivate him. When insurers act in bad faith or defense lawyers play games, Brett responds with motions, sanctions, and litigation pressure that forces fair outcomes. He is well-versed in Brooklyn court procedures and knows how to deal with local adjusters who try to minimize valid claims.

Legal representation from a Brooklyn attorney who understands these statutes is essential. We act swiftly, file proper notices, and prepare claims to meet tight municipal deadlines under General Municipal Law §50-e.

My experience with Brett and Dominika was beyond exceptional. From the initial consultation after my car accident 2 years ago to now. Dominika saw to it that I was up to date on everything concerning my case. When insurance said they would only give a pay out a certain amount, they kept fighting for me to get what I deserved after sustaining injuries that led to me having to get surgery! I honestly was expecting the process to take longer than it actually took but I’m happy they stood firm and made sure I came out on top. They were both very respectful, punctual and welcoming. I would recommend them to anyone I know because the customer service and the care for their clients is genuine!!! Thank you guys sooooo much for not only carrying me and my case for these last 2 years but for also being patient with me through the whole process! You guys are the best!!!

Hello, my name is Anwar Hadj-Sadok and my experience with Brett and Dominika was Incredible. A few years ago, I was in a car accident where I was struck by a car and before I was with Brett I was with this horrible lawyer. I was with this lawyer for around 3 years and my case had gone nowhere and for my settlement it was barely anything even though I had suffered a handful of injuries. So we had to do something about it and my father actually had a history with Brett so he decided why not Switch lawyers. At the beginning stage things already started to shift and what that other lawyer couldn't do in 3 years, Brett was able to only do it in 6 months, A drastic change. As for the settlement not only was Brett capable of increasing it but he tripled the amount that I was meant to receive with the other lawyer. Brett is an amazing Lawyer and Dominika Is the best paralegal I could've asked for. Both are outstanding people, Brett as an incredible Lawyer and Dominika acting as his right hand which makes their work extremely efficient. If you are looking for a Lawyer who works with injuries Brett and Dominika are the ones to call. Their work is the best.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Brett Nomberg and his exceptional paralegal, Dominika Szybisty. We met under very difficult circumstances, during an extremely painful time in our lives. Our seven-year-old daughter had just experienced a series of traumatic sexual assaults, by a teenage boy at school.
We originally reached out to another attorney, but he strongly recommended that we contact Brett Nomberg. I had never sought legal advice before and was nervous in unfamiliar territory.
During one of the most painful and stressful times in our lives, Brett Nomberg and Dominika Szybisty were always there for us. They gave us not only brilliant legal counsel but also unwavering support, thoughtful advice, and a compassionate ear. Over nearly three agonizing years of litigation, we faced countless challenges—dozens of depositions and even a trial. Ultimately, the case settled, but through it all, Brett and Dominika stood by us, guiding us with strength and integrity.
While nothing can undo the pain and trauma our family endured, the settlement we reached was the best outcome we could have hoped for. Brett and Dominika exceeded every expectation I had. Brett’s tireless dedication, sharp mind, and creative, outside-the-box thinking, paired with his genuine compassion, made all the difference. I always felt heard, supported, and protected—especially during my most vulnerable moments.
Brett’s meticulous approach, diligence, and passion for his work were evident in everything he did. He went above and beyond, diving deep into the case to uncover every critical detail, and his insights often left me in awe. It’s clear that he and his team truly care about their clients, and that passion shines through in their work and is reflected in how exceptionally good they are at it.
I am forever grateful for everything Brett and Dominika achieved on behalf of my family. Their professionalism, kindness, and expertise made a world of difference during the darkest time in our lives. I highly recommend Brett J. Nomberg and his firm to anyone in need of personal injury representation—you couldn’t be in better hands. Thank you, Brett and Dominika, for your unwavering support and dedication.

Ali, thank you for such kind words. It was an absolute pleasure representing you and your family. I became a lawyer over 30 years ago to help people just like your daughter who have been the victim of wrongful harm. No matter how many lawyers a defendant employs, or how much they try to conceal information, it only motivates me to dig deeper. Eventually the hole for them was so big that they saw no choice but to offer a fair amount to settle, but waiting right before my opening statement to the jury. And yes, Dominika is my right hand and just as compassionate about helping our clients. Our clients even after a case resolves are always our clients. Please do not hesitate to reach out whenever you have any questions about this matter or any other. Wishing you and your family all the best of health. Enjoy the holidays!

Finding a doctor after an injury can be overwhelming, especially with no-fault insurance complexities. After being hit by a car in NYC, I struggled to get the care I needed. Despite consulting top attorneys, none took my case as it didn’t meet their financial expectations.
Brett J. Nomberg was different. He said, “Let me first get you insurance so you can see the doctors, and later we can handle everything else.” His priority was helping me, even without knowing if he’d benefit financially!!! it is rare in NYC but true about Brett.
Brett’s genuine care and dedication made a profound difference during a challenging time. I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with him. Thank you, Mr. Nomberg, for your compassion and support.

Thank you Esther for that kind review. I try to help every client navigate the no fault and insurance laws to get medical treatment after a car accident before worrying whether the case will produce revenue. I'm glad that you were able to get your medical treatment and we were able to resolve your case for the full insurance policy limits of the defendant. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any further questions or need my help. Have a safe and healthy holiday. Warm regards, Brett

I sought out Brett on a recommendation from a friend for my motor vehicle accident. He was the first lawyer I have spoken to who truly cared. From working with him to his paralegal Dominika I have never been more impressed. Personal injury is a lot to manage. While I hope I have no further issues with injury in the future if I do, I will always return to Brett.

He took the time to break down complex legal information into terms I could easily understand, never once making me feel overwhelmed or out of place.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT LAWYER
MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE
In 2007, a Manhattan defense attorney bragged to Brett Nomberg that our client’s case was worth 11 cents. The jury came back with a $4.5 million verdict.
In 2014, a New York defense lawyer tried to conceal evidence from Brett Nomberg. That attorney was sanctioned $10,000 and the insurance company then settled for $3.9 million.
In 2021, a defense attorney tried to conceal a surveillance tape of the accident. Brett Nomberg made a motion for sanctions and the court as punishment held the defendant was entirely responsible for the accident. The case then settled for $1.7 million.
