Karns & Karns Personal Injury and Accident Attorneys, a national trial powerhouse with over $300 million recovered for victims of negligence, has announced a targeted expansion of its Catastrophic Urban Accident Division across New York City. Operating from premier offices in both Manhattan and Brooklyn, the family-owned trial firm is deploying its aggressive courtroom litigation model to hold commercial delivery networks, corporate fleets, and major insurance carriers accountable for a surge in high-density street collisions.

The Outer-Borough Reality: Delivery Vans vs. Pedestrian Right-of-Way
The transit landscape across the Manhattan-Brooklyn corridor has reached a boiling point. The massive influx of e-commerce delivery vans, commercial box trucks, and rideshare vehicles navigating high-density gridlock has triggered an unprecedented spike in severe pedestrian crosswalk strikes, bicycle collisions, and multi-vehicle rideshare occupant injuries.

Many massive advertising operations in New York City function strictly as “settlement mills.” They rely on high-volume turnover, looking to settle your case as quickly as possible for whatever minimal check an insurance carrier throws at them. If a case requires actual courtroom litigation, they frequently refer it to an outside firm. At Karns & Karns, we are a family-owned Trial-First law firm. We handle our litigation in-house. Because corporate insurers know we prepare every pedestrian, car, and delivery truck accident case for a jury from day one, they are forced to offer significantly higher settlements to avoid a courtroom battle.

High-density outer-borough gridlock has caused a massive spike in commercial delivery truck and box van accidents. These corporate fleets are backed by massive insurance conglomerates that deploy rapid-response legal teams to limit their financial exposure immediately. You need to secure the surrounding store surveillance footage, witness contact information, and immediate medical evaluation. Under our No-Fee Guarantee, our investigative team moves instantly to subpoena vehicle data logs and corporate maintenance records to hold the multi-billion dollar parent companies fully accountable without any out-of-pocket cost to you.

New York law heavily protects passengers and pedestrians. If you are injured inside a rideshare vehicle or struck in a crosswalk, you are entitled to comprehensive compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Navigating the overlapping insurance policies of rideshare corporations and commercial drivers is highly complex. Our specialized urban accident division cuts through the red tape to ensure you aren’t lowballed by corporate adjusters while you are trying to recover.
