Every case is injury law made personal

"Every case is unique. We'll settle or go to court if need be to get our clients the compensation they deserve." - Attorney Howard Ankin

I’m proud of the way we go about approaching each and every case at Ankin Law. We're large yet nimble. Our 70-plus member team allows us to respond to any situation. For example, if a client is injured in a fall as a result of a collapsed loading dock we not only handle the workers’ compensation case, we bring suit against the company that built the dock for faulty construction.  We depose whomever we need to speak to and bring in expert witnesses when needed. We call these dual cases and with a strong team of personal injury and workers’ compensation attorneys, we’ve become very good at handling them. Today, with more people working from home we see workers’ compensation applied to the home office and are currently handling several of these cases at the firm. Work environments have evolved, along with the way injury law is applied. Ankin Law has been at the front of the line in representing these injured workers. In order to be successful we must be nimble I’m often asked is it better to settle a case or go to trial. We look for every opportunity to get our clients the compensation they deserve. If that means settling the case with the insurance company for the policy limit, we may recommend this to the client. Sometimes the amount offered by insurance companies is just too low to compensate clients for physical and mental injuries and we insist on going to trial. All of these matters are personal. That’s why Ankin Law is injury law made personal.

2MM settled at mediation in one week

Attorney Matt Friedman settled two cases involving a trucking accident and a construction site slip and fall. The next day Attorney Maria Merman resolved a case involving a maintenance manager at an apartment complex, who slipped and fell on wet floor as a result of the janitorial company’s negligence. In all three of these cases, there were significant medical and legal causation issues.

Workers' compensation applied at home

“We have found that workers' compensation is compensable in a home environment as long as the worker is able to prove they were doing their job at the time the injury took place." - Attorney Scott Goldstein Watch Scott
