About Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro
New York Construction Accident Lawyers

The representation of individuals injured by negligence, medical malpractice or faulty products is one of the most challenging and rewarding specialities in the practice of law. We love what we do. This passion manifests itself in the dedication we bring to our construction accident clients and their cases. Our outstanding results in New York Construction accident cases, including numerous million dollar verdicts and settlements, speak for themselves.

Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro is a personal injury firm. We only represent individuals who are injured by negligence; malpractice; injured in workplace or construction accidents; by faulty equipment or machinery; or through the negligent maintenance of property. The firm has achieved great success in these specialties which are all bound together by a common thread: an individual has suffered serious physical or emotional injury.

What sets us apart from other personal injury firms is that we do not simply process a large volume of cases. We intentionally limit the number of cases we accept and assign to each attorney so that every client receives the personal and proper attention he or she deserves. We do not merely handle cases, we represent real people with real problems on an individual basis.

Our philosophy is to thoroughly prepare every case for the crucible of the courtroom. That requires meticulous preparation of all relevant facts and complete knowledge of applicable law. Our attorneys work closely with doctors and other professionals in bringing together the best expert witnesses to assist in preparation and trial of our cases. We spare no expense because we believe that each client deserves the best opportunity to present his or her case to a jury.

Of course, every case is not tried to verdict. We are able to obtain substantial settlements prior to trial because insurance companies and the defense bar know that our firm investigates every case thoroughly and expertly and is always well prepared to try every case.

We approach the preparation of cases and representation of our clients as a team. Our highly skilled and knowledgeable support staff is enthusiastic and dedicated to its work. We also utilize the most advanced computer systems in order to manage our cases efficiently and to obtain legal, investigative and medical information as quickly and thoroughly as the most current technology allows. Simply put, our clients receive the best representation from outstanding attorneys, led by experienced litigators with exceptional judgment assisted by a motivated support staff. The combination of Bill's vast experience, Phil's trial skills and Cliff's negotiation and management techniques, together with excellent trial attorneys eminently capable of trying any case, is a unique and compelling combination which garners the best achievable result for our clients.
