About Shulman & Hill - Brooklyn Personal Injury Lawyer

Shulman & Hill operates out of Suite 2216 at 26 Court Street in Brooklyn, just steps from other legal and government offices in the downtown Brooklyn corridor. The firm has received 20 reviews on Yelp with a 2.3 rating, and they practice across three areas of law that commonly intersect: personal injury, workers compensation, and Social Security disability. Clients who come in for one type of claim sometimes find they have needs in another area as well. The firm handles cases where someone has been hurt due to another party's negligence and also cases where a person's health has deteriorated to the point that they can no longer work and need to pursue federal disability benefits. This range of practice areas means the firm deals with clients at many different stages of injury and recovery, from immediately after an accident to long-term disability proceedings that can take years to resolve.

How They Can Help

Shulman & Hill helps clients pursue compensation through multiple channels depending on the circumstances. A person injured in an accident might have a personal injury claim against a negligent party, a workers compensation claim if the injury happened at work, and eventually a Social Security disability application if they are unable to return to employment. The firm is positioned to assist with any or all of these tracks depending on what a client's situation calls for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Shulman & Hill handle Social Security disability in addition to personal injury?
Yes, in addition to personal injury cases, the firm also handles Social Security disability applications, appeals, and hearings, as well as workers compensation claims under New York law.
Can a personal injury accident lead to a Social Security disability claim?
It can. If injuries from an accident are severe enough to prevent you from working for 12 months or more, you may qualify for Social Security disability benefits regardless of whether you also have a personal injury lawsuit pending.
What is the difference between workers compensation and a personal injury lawsuit?
Workers compensation covers injuries that happen on the job regardless of fault, while a personal injury lawsuit requires proving that another party was negligent. In some situations, both may apply, such as when a third party caused your workplace accident.
How long does a Social Security disability case typically take in New York?
The timeline varies widely. Initial applications can take several months, and if denied, the appeals process including a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge can add a year or more to the overall timeline in many New York cases.
Where exactly is the firm located in Brooklyn?
The firm is at 26 Court Street, Suite 2216, in downtown Brooklyn, which is accessible by multiple subway lines and close to other legal offices in the area.
What types of personal injury cases does the firm handle?
The firm handles personal injury matters broadly. You can call (917) 793-0637 to discuss the specifics of your accident or injury and whether it falls within the types of cases they take on.
