In the realm of personal injury law, precision and excellence are paramount in securing justice for individuals who have endured life-altering injuries. For more than four decades, The Perecman Firm, under the leadership of its founder, David Perecman, has personified these qualities, establishing an unmatched standard for legal practice and client advocacy.

“From the moment a client walks through our doors, our team seeks to know them on a personal level,” says Perecman, who has been included in The Best Lawyers in America® for more than 15 years and was named a Best Lawyers 2022 Long Island Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs “Lawyer of the Year.” “We invest time in learning about our clients’ lives, families and the impact of their injuries. This deep understanding allows us to tailor our legal strategy to the unique needs and circumstances of each client.”

Meticulous case preparation is indeed the cornerstone of the firm’s approach. Before any motion is filed or any argument is presented in the courtroom, The Perecman Firm conducts exhaustive research, scrutinizes every piece of evidence and anticipates every conceivable challenge. This rigorous preparation sets the stage for the firm’s exceptional track record.

Before any motion is filed or any argument is presented in the courtroom, The Perecman Firm conducts exhaustive research, scrutinizes every piece of evidence and anticipates every conceivable challenge."

“The level of perfection we demand isn’t common in most firms,” Perecman says. “Before a motion gets filed, we hold extensive meetings involving at least four to five attorneys in the office. We roundtable the case, discussing the nuances for hours, tossing around issues and going back and forth. This process happens not once but multiple times. Only when I’m satisfied that the motion is perfect does it get filed.”

This approach was evident in a recent case where the firm represented the family of a construction worker who died after falling more than 45 stories from a roof terrace while engaged in construction-related activities. Perecman and his team were able to convince the court that their client should be entitled to summary judgment against the general contractor by showing that their client’s lack of a lifeline was a systemic issue.

“Our argument centered on the fact that our client was working alongside a senior-level representative from the general contractor, yet neither of them were secured to a lifeline,” Perecman explains. “Wrongful death cases often present challenges because your best witness is the victim, but through our tireless efforts and meticulous preparation, we secured summary judgment for our client.”
