Representing Injured People in Nyack and Throughout Rockland County
If you or someone you love was hurt in an accident in Nyack, you deserve a legal team that takes your case seriously from the first conversation. At IJA Law Group, we represent injured individuals and families across Rockland County — and we bring the same preparation, tenacity, and direct attorney access to every case we take, whether it settles or goes to trial.
We handle the full range of personal injury claims: car accidents, truck accidents, construction injuries, slip and fall incidents, pedestrian knockdowns, dog bites, and more. Our results include seven-figure and high six-figure recoveries for clients who trusted us to fight for them when the stakes were highest.
Why Nyack Residents Choose IJA Law Group
Hiring a personal injury lawyer is one of the most consequential decisions you will make after an accident. The firm you choose determines how hard your case gets worked, how well you are kept informed, and ultimately how much you recover.
Here is what sets us apart:
- Direct attorney access from day one. You speak with Frank Filopei, not a paralegal or case manager, when you first contact us — and that access continues throughout your case.
- Trial-ready preparation. Insurance companies know which firms will push a case to trial. We prepare every file as if a jury will decide it, which is why we negotiate from a position of strength.
- Relentless case development. We investigate thoroughly, document aggressively, and build the kind of evidentiary record that supports maximum compensation.
- Clear, consistent communication. You will never have to chase us for an update. We keep clients informed at every stage.
- Spanish-speaking staff. Our team serves Spanish-speaking clients without barriers.
- No fee unless we win. We take personal injury cases on contingency — you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
Common Accident and Injury Claims We Handle for Nyack Clients

- Trucking accidents involving commercial carriers and delivery vehicles on Route 59 and regional freight corridors
- Construction accidents at active job sites throughout Rockland County
- Slip, trip, and fall injuries on commercial property, municipal sidewalks, and private premises

What to Expect When You Work with IJA Law Group
We know that reaching out to a personal injury attorney can feel overwhelming — especially when you are still dealing with pain, medical appointments, and the disruption an injury causes to your life and your family. Our process is designed to remove that burden from you as quickly as possible.
When you contact us, here is what happens:
Step 1: Free Case Evaluation
We review the facts of your accident and injury at no cost and with no obligation. You will speak directly with our legal team and get an honest assessment of your claim.
Step 2: Investigation and Evidence Gathering
We move quickly to preserve critical evidence — accident reports, surveillance footage, witness statements, medical records, and expert documentation — before it disappears.
Step 3: Demand and Negotiation
We build a comprehensive demand package that reflects the full value of your injuries, lost income, and pain and suffering. We negotiate hard with insurance carriers and defense counsel.
Step 4: Trial Preparation and Resolution
If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we prepare for trial. Our willingness to litigate is not a bluff — it is the foundation of every negotiation we conduct.

An early settlement offer from an insurance company is almost always lower than what your case is actually worth. Insurers move quickly to close claims before injured people understand the full extent of their injuries or their legal rights. Speaking with an attorney before accepting any offer costs you nothing and could make a significant difference in your outcome.An early settlement offer from an insurance company is almost always lower than what your case is actually worth.

Writing a will that truly reflects your wishes
Clear, customized guidance from experienced attorneys
A will is one of the most important legal documents you’ll ever create. It ensures your property is distributed according to your choices, not left to state laws or court discretion. At Parker & Maloney, we help individuals and families across multiple states prepare valid, thoughtful wills that bring clarity and peace of mind. Whether your estate is modest or complex, our attorneys make the process straightforward, transparent, and designed around your specific goals.
Why every adult needs a will
Protecting your family starts with preparation
Many people assume wills are only for those with large estates, but they’re essential for anyone who wants a say in how their affairs are handled. A well-drafted will outlines who inherits your assets, who manages your estate, and who cares for your minor children. Without one, state law decides those matters for you, often in ways that don’t reflect your wishes. Our attorneys help you anticipate potential issues, minimize conflict, and leave a clear plan that makes things easier for your loved ones.
