Shulman & Hill Injury Lawyers

If you’ve ever been injured in an accident, you know how fast things can fall apart. One moment you’re living your life, and the next you’re hurt, out of work, and trying to figure out what to do. The pain is bad enough—but then come the bills, insurance calls, and stress.

That’s when you need a law firm like Shulman & Hill Injury Lawyers. Based in New York, this firm helps people who’ve been hurt get the help they need. Whether you were in a car crash, injured at work, or slipped and fell, they’re the kind of team that treats you with respect and

fights to get results.

Who’s Behind the Firm?

Alex Shulman and JJ Hill started the firm because they wanted to help regular, hardworking people—especially New Yorkers—after serious injuries. They saw how often insurance companies try to take advantage of people who don’t know their rights. They decided to step in and even the playing field.

Since then, the firm has grown to include a whole team of lawyers, case managers, and staff. Every person on the team shares the same goal: helping injured people feel seen, heard, and supported.

What Makes This Firm Different?

There are a lot of personal injury law firms out there, especially in New York. But people choose Shulman & Hill because they keep things simple and real. They explain things in plain language. They answer your calls. They make sure you know what’s happening every step of the way.

They also have:

• A strong track record of winning big cases

• Experience handling workers’ comp, injury, and disability claims

• A team that speaks English, Spanish, and other languages

• A true focus on client care—not just case numbers

Types of Injury Cases They Handle

Shulman & Hill only works on personal injury and workers’ compensation cases. That means they don’t split their time across different areas of law. They focus 100% on helping injured people. Here's a closer look at the types of cases they take on.

Workers’ Compensation

If you got hurt on the job, you may qualify for workers’ comp. This helps cover your medical bills and lost wages. But getting approved can be tough. Sometimes employers deny your claim or send you to doctors who don’t really help.

The team at Shulman & Hill knows all the tricks companies use. They’ll fight to make sure you get full benefits and proper treatment. They help with:

• Denied claims

• Delayed payments

• Lowball settlement offers

• Appeals and hearings

Construction Accidents

Construction sites are dangerous places. Whether you’re working with power tools, on a roof, or around heavy machines, one mistake can lead to a serious injury. The firm helps workers who fell from ladders, got hit by falling objects, or were hurt by faulty equipment.

They understand New York labor laws and safety rules, and they know how to prove when a boss or contractor didn’t follow them.

Car Accidents

Car crashes happen all the time in a busy place like New York. But every crash is different. Sometimes the injuries show up later. Sometimes the insurance company tries to say it was your fault.

Shulman & Hill helps clients after rear-end crashes, head-on collisions, and everything in between. They help drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists get the support they need.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Wet floors. Uneven sidewalks. Icy steps. These might sound like small problems, but they can lead to big injuries. The firm helps people who slipped, tripped, or fell because a property owner didn’t take care of their space.

They work to prove that the owner knew (or should have known) about the hazard and didn’t fix it in time.

Truck and Bus Accidents

Big commercial vehicles can cause serious damage. The firm helps clients who were hit by delivery trucks, buses, or rideshare drivers. These cases often involve extra rules and insurance policies, and the team knows how to handle them all.

Personal Injury

If you were hurt because of someone else’s carelessness, and you’re not sure what kind of case it is, that’s okay. Whether it was a dog bite, a falling object, or another accident, Shulman & Hill will help figure out what to do next.

Wrongful Death

Losing someone you love is devastating—especially if their death could have been prevented. The firm handles wrongful death claims for families who lost someone in a crash, workplace accident, or other tragedy. They help families get answers, justice, and financial support.

A Warm Testimonial

“I was working at a job site when I slipped on some loose wiring and messed up my back. I couldn’t work, and I didn’t know how I’d support my family. A friend recommended Shulman & Hill, and I’m so thankful I called.

From day one, they were patient and kind. They helped me file my workers’ comp claim and walked me through every step. They made sure I got the right care, and they answered all my questions—even the small ones. When the case settled, I cried. It gave us a fresh start.

They didn’t just help me. They helped my whole family.”– Victor G., Brooklyn, NY

How the Legal Process Works

If you’ve never hired a lawyer before, the idea might feel overwhelming. But Shulman & Hill keeps the process simple.

Here’s what usually happens:

1. You contact them by phone or through their website.

2. They listen to what happened and ask a few questions.

3. If they can help, they explain the next steps and what your rights are.

4. You sign some papers, and they begin working on your case.

5. They handle all the legal stuff—like paperwork, phone calls, and deadlines.

6. They keep you updated, and when it’s time to settle or go to court, you’re fully prepared.

You don’t have to know anything about the law. They’ll guide you the whole way.

You Don’t Pay Unless You Win

This part is simple: if they don’t win your case, you don’t owe them anything.

Shulman & Hill works on something called a “contingency fee.” That means their pay comes from the money they win for you. So you never have to worry about upfront legal fees, hourly bills, or surprise costs.

This makes it easier for everyone to get help—no matter their income.

• Answer calls and messages quickly

• Speak in plain English

• Treat clients with kindness and respect

• Know how to win tough cases

• Make people feel comfortable from day one

It’s not just about winning money. It’s about how they treat people along the way.
