A Legal Team You Can Trust

The insurance company initially denied liability. Berel filed all the necessary motions, and Mr. Gelbstein pushed for binding arbitration. The case settled right before the hearing for $600k.

Thank you for sharing your experience with The Gelbstein & Associates Team. We’re truly honored to have been trusted with your case and proud to have helped you achieve a $600,000 settlement after the insurance company initially denied liability. When we first took on your case, we knew the stakes were high — not just financially, but for your peace of mind. Denied liability cases require a unique combination of persistence, legal strategy, and a deep understanding of personal injury law in New York. In your matter, Berel carefully prepared and filed the necessary motions to preserve your rights and strengthen your position. At the same time, Mr. Gelbstein leveraged over a decade of experience as a Brooklyn personal injury attorney to push aggressively for binding arbitration. This approach allowed us to keep pressure on the insurance carrier, demonstrate that we were ready for a hearing, and ultimately achieve a fair resolution right before the scheduled arbitration. Cases like yours highlight why having an experienced New York City injury lawyer can make such a difference. Insurance companies often deny claims outright in the hope that injured people will give up. At Gelbstein & Associates, we’ve seen this happen in many types of cases — from serious Brooklyn car accidents to Queens slip and fall injuries, construction site accidents in Manhattan, Bronx truck collisions, and wrongful death claims across New York State. Our role is to ensure that clients don’t have to face these tactics alone. When liability is denied, our team develops a custom strategy for each client. This may involve gathering additional evidence, consulting expert witnesses, pursuing motion practice in court, or — as in your case — pushing for arbitration or trial. Every step is aimed at leveling the playing field against well-funded insurance carriers and ensuring that injured clients receive the compensation they need for medical treatment, lost wages, and the long-term impact of their injuries. We’re proud that your $600,000 settlement will help you move forward, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your story here on Avvo. For anyone reading this review who may be in a similar situation — whether your injury involves a denied car accident claim, a disputed slip and fall case, a construction accident, or another serious injury — our Brooklyn-based personal injury law firm offers free consultations. We serve clients throughout New York City, including Queens, the Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island, Long Island, and surrounding counties, and we fight every case as if it were our own. Thank you again for your trust and for allowing us to be part of your journey toward justice. We wish you continued healing and success in the future. — The Gelbstein & Associates Team
