About Robert
Biography
Robert A. Miklos, Esq. is a New York trial lawyer and partner at Silberstein & Miklos, P.C. in Garden City. He represents injured people and families in catastrophic injury, wrongful death and medical malpractice cases across New York City, Long Island and all of New York State.
He handles construction accidents under New York's Labor Law (scaffold and ladder falls, falling objects, Labor Law 240 and 241), truck and bus crashes including MTA buses, and medical malpractice: missed and delayed diagnosis of stroke, brain bleeds, heart attack and cancer, surgical and emergency room errors, birth injuries, and hospital and nursing home neglect, including cases against NYC Health + Hospitals, where a notice of claim is due within 90 days.
He also represents people seriously hurt in car, Uber and Lyft, pedestrian and e-bike accidents, and in slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall accidents, when a commercial driver, property owner, landlord, New York City or NYCHA is responsible. Many of these cases involve surgery, such as a spinal fusion for a herniated disc or shoulder or knee surgery, or a brain or spinal cord injury.
Robert tries cases to verdict. In Kings County in 2019 he obtained an approximately $28 million jury verdict for a man whose brain bleed was not diagnosed in time at a public hospital; after appeal, a judgment of approximately $17 million was paid in full. Other verdicts include approximately $4.3 million in a Westchester wrongful death case (2017), $3.5 million in a Queens delayed cancer diagnosis case (2018), $1.75 million in a Nassau birth injury case affirmed on appeal, and $1.5 million for an MTA bus passenger in Queens (2015). He has helped recover over $100 million for injured clients. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
He also works as co-counsel and trial counsel for other lawyers. Referral fees are shared as permitted by Rule 1.5(g), with the client's written consent.
He is President of the Latino Lawyers Association of Queens County and a member of the New York State Unified Court System Advisory Committee on Civil Practice. He was selected to the Super Lawyers list, New York Metro (2025-2026), after Rising Stars recognition from 2015 to 2024, and holds a Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent rating. He is admitted in New York (2010) and Pennsylvania (2026) and in the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York. Se habla español.

Construction Accident Case
I hired Robert Miklos for my construction accident injury. He always kept me up to date and informed. He was able to obtain close to a million dollars for my injury in a conservative venue. I would highly recommend him for any personal injury or construction accident case.
