Hallie Kowalsky
I was in a serious accident in February of 2023 and needed major surgery and PT. I’m still healing but Peter and Dominic worked hard to get me the settlement that I deserved.They were always available to answer any questions and explain things to me numerous times that I just didn’t understand.
Gerald Dorrian
When my son was killed I was more than overwhelmed, broken, and lost. Even though my head was spinning, the world didn’t stop to let me think at all, phone calls, questions, bills... Peter Catalano was like a human shield, he took care of everything so I could focus on my family. This man has become more than my lawyer, willing to take my calls anytime, and talk me through some really dark times, he has become a very dear friend. I don’t know what we would have done without him.

Practice Areas
Here to Help
Catalano Law has a strong record of helping victims in all kinds of personal injury and accident cases.
The short answer is: You do not and cannot necessarily know on your own if you have a personal injury case. You should contact the Syracuse personal injury lawyers at Catalano Law and set up a free consultation. There are many factors to accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, and bicycles that can mean the difference between a strong case and no case at all. Circumstances surrounding slip and falls, worksite accidents, wrongful death, medical malpractice, and prescription drug harm are also all dependent on the specific facts.
In many situations, you may have a case if someone acted carelessly or violated existing laws and regulations. However, this standard is more complex than it sounds. Catalano Law has handled hundreds of cases and knows the specific things to look for in each practice area that can build the strongest case and put you on the path to the most just compensation.
Do I need a lawyer for a personal injury case?
You are under no obligation to hire a personal injury lawyer if you’re considering filing a claim. However, the personal injury claims process can be complex, and you’ll be facing insurance companies and attorneys who know the law and the process thoroughly. Navigating these challenges with no prior experience can be incredibly challenging, especially when you’re dealing with serious injuries.
We strongly suggest you consider seeking legal help. You can focus on your health and recovery while your attorney handles your claim on your behalf. If you’re debating whether or not to hire an attorney, contact our Syracuse personal injury lawyers for a free, no-obligation case review.
I do not want to go to court. Can you still help me?
Yes, our personal injury lawyers can definitely help you. Many personal injury and accident claims never go to court. An experienced attorney will typically build a case strong enough to prove your claim to the other party’s insurance company.
That means we will typically resolve your case with the insurance company, not a court of law. At that point, we will be able to settle your case and get both justice and fair compensation for your injury or accident.
How long do I have to file a personal injury case?
Three years is the statute of limitations, the time you have to file a lawsuit, for most personal injury cases in New York State. That said, the facts and details of such cases matter greatly, and it is important to get documentation and evidence of them as soon as possible.
How do I pay for a lawyer in a personal injury case?
Catalano Law does not collect any fees unless we win your case or successfully settle and get compensation for you. This is called a contingency fee agreement.
Our No Fee Guarantee means you pay us nothing unless we win your case.
Such an arrangement means that you can retain high-powered lawyers to help you stand up to the experienced legal representation that corporate entities and insurance companies have at their disposal. By offering our services on a contingency basis, there are little to no charges a client has to pay until the case is over.
