White Plains Personal Injury Lawyer Fighting for Injured People Across Westchester County
Serious Injuries Deserve Serious Representation
If you were injured in White Plains or anywhere in Westchester County, you are likely dealing with more than physical pain. Medical bills pile up. Insurance adjusters call early and make offers that don't come close to covering what you've lost. The decisions you make in the weeks after an accident can shape the outcome of your case for years. IJA Law Group exists to make sure injured people don't face those decisions alone.
We are a personal injury law firm based at 445 Hamilton Avenue in White Plains. We represent injured individuals and families throughout Westchester County and the broader NYC metro area, handling everything from auto accidents and trucking collisions to construction injuries, slip and fall claims, and catastrophic injury cases. When you call us, you speak with an attorney — not a call screener — and that direct access continues throughout your case.
Why White Plains Injury Victims Choose IJA Law Group
The firm you hire matters. Insurance companies track which law firms try cases and which ones settle for whatever is offered. We build every case as if it is going to trial, because that preparation is exactly what produces better settlements — and wins at verdict when settlement isn't enough.
What sets us apart:
- Direct attorney access from the first call. You reach a lawyer, not a receptionist who takes a message.
- Trial-ready case preparation. We document, investigate, and build every file for the courtroom — not just the negotiating table.
- Tough negotiation. We know how insurance carriers value cases and we push back when their numbers don't reflect the full extent of your injuries.
- Verified results. Our case outcomes include seven-figure and high six-figure recoveries for injured clients across the region.
- Spanish-speaking staff. We serve White Plains' diverse communities without a language barrier.
- Strong communication commitment. You are never left wondering what is happening with your case.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle in White Plains
White Plains sits at the intersection of major commuter routes, commercial corridors, and active construction zones — conditions that produce a steady volume of serious accidents. We handle the full range of personal injury claims that arise in and around Westchester County.
Our practice areas include:

If your situation isn't listed above, contact us. If it involves an injury caused by someone else's negligence, we want to hear about it.
What to Expect When You Contact Us
We know that reaching out to a lawyer for the first time can feel uncertain. We work to make that first conversation straightforward and useful, regardless of where your case goes from there.

- You speak directly with an attorney who listens to what happened and asks the questions that matter.

There is no cost and no obligation to have that first conversation. Call, text, or reach out through our contact form — whichever is easiest for you.
Frequently Asked Questions — White Plains Personal Injury Cases
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York?
In most personal injury cases in New York, the statute of limitations is three years from the date of the accident. However, claims involving government entities — such as a trip on a city sidewalk or an accident involving a municipal vehicle — require a Notice of Claim filed within 90 days. Missing these deadlines typically bars your right to recover.

You do not need a lawyer physically located in White Plains, but you do need a firm familiar with Westchester County courts, local defense firms, and how cases in this jurisdiction tend to be valued and litigated.

Case value depends on the nature and severity of your injuries, the impact on your ability to work, your medical expenses, and the degree of the other party's negligence. There is no formula that applies across every case. We evaluate each claim individually and give you a candid assessment of what we believe is recoverable and why.Case value depends on the nature and severity of your injuries, the impact on your ability to work, your medical expenses, and the degree of the other party's negligence.

Do not accept any settlement offer before speaking with an attorney. Early offers from insurance carriers are almost always lower than what the case is worth — insurers know that injured people are under financial pressure and may settle quickly. Once you accept, you typically cannot go back for more, even if your injuries turn out to be more serious than initially understood.Do not accept any settlement offer before speaking with an attorney.

On a contingency fee basis, you pay no attorney's fees upfront and nothing out of pocket during the case. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery we obtain for you. If we do not recover, you owe us nothing. This structure means our interests are aligned with yours — we only get paid when you do.On a contingency fee basis, you pay no attorney's fees upfront and nothing out of pocket during the case.

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.
