Paul B. Weitz & Associates is a premier personal injury law
firm that handles major complex litigation in New York City
and its outer boroughs. “No case is too complicated for us,”
says managing partner Paul B. Weitz. “We put the necessary
time and money into every case to get the best results for
our clients.”

The firm has a tradition of providing expert representa-

when the firm began as Schneider, Kleinick & Weitz. Since
then, the firm has established a proven track record of more
than 500 cases or settlements in excess of $1 million.

Attorneys at the firm are experienced in all types of cata-
strophic personal injury cases, including construction and
workplace accidents, car and truck accidents, medical mal-
practice, wrongful death, municipal liability, and premises

notable settlements, including: $20 million for a 26-year-old
worker who was rendered a quadriplegic after a steel pipe
was dropped on him at a construction site; $16 million for
a 23-year-old man who fell from a rock wall after his safety
belt broke; $14 million for a worker who was injured after a
platform collapsed while he was laying cable; and $11 mil-
