Operating from Manhattan with a nationwide network of attorneys, After Personal Injury handles mass tort litigation, active lawsuits against institutions including a major church and a major tech company, and individual injury claims ranging from maritime accidents to birth injuries, all on a contingency basis with no fees until they win.

Introduction

The range of matters handled by After Personal Injury is unusually broad. On one end are the individual accident cases that most personal injury firms handle: car accidents, slip and fall injuries, medical malpractice. On the other end are mass tort actions and institutional abuse cases that require coordinating across jurisdictions, managing large plaintiff groups, and sustaining complex litigation over extended periods. The firm’s active lawsuit list includes 3M defective earplugs, Dr. Reginald Archibald sexual abuse, e-cigarette and Juul injuries, hernia mesh claims, Latter-day Saints Church abuse, the Thacher School sex abuse case, Uber sexual assaults, and YMCA/YWCA sexual abuse matters.

This combination, individual claims and mass tort coordination under one roof, reflects a firm built for plaintiffs whose cases require more than standard accident representation. All cases are handled on contingency, with no fees charged until compensation is won. Consultations are free, confidential, and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Practice Areas

Personal Injury and Accidents

The foundational personal injury practice covers car accidents, slip and fall injuries, and wrongful death. These cases share the same contingency structure and the same commitment to 24/7 consultation availability as the firm’s more complex matters.

Sexual Abuse and Misconduct

The firm handles sexual abuse and misconduct claims, including institutional cases involving the Latter-day Saints Church, the Thacher School, Uber, and the YMCA and YWCA. These cases require navigating claims processes that differ substantially from standard personal injury litigation, often involving delayed reporting, institutional cover-up allegations, and specific statutory windows for filing that vary by state.

Mass Torts

Active mass tort matters include:

• 3M defective earplugs: claims on behalf of military personnel and others who suffered hearing damage from defective combat earplugs
• Hernia mesh: claims arising from defective hernia mesh products that caused complications after implantation
• E-cigarettes and Juul: claims related to health injuries associated with vaping products

Mass tort litigation operates on a different scale than individual injury claims, but the outcome for each individual plaintiff depends on the same quality of case development and advocacy.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice claims require expert medical analysis to establish the standard of care, the departure from that standard, and the causal connection between the departure and the patient’s injury. These cases are resource-intensive and require attorneys experienced in the specific procedural requirements of malpractice litigation.

Maritime Accidents

Maritime accident cases are governed by specific federal law, including the Jones Act, which provides distinct rights and remedies for seamen injured in the course of their employment. The firm handles Jones Act claims and broader maritime law matters, including offshore accident cases.

Aviation Accidents

Airplane accident cases involve federal aviation regulations, complex liability questions spanning manufacturers, airlines, maintenance contractors, and air traffic control, and significant damages given the severity of injuries these accidents typically produce.

Catastrophic Injury

Brain and spinal cord injuries, birth injuries, and burn injuries each require specialized medical knowledge and long-term damages analysis. The firm handles all three categories as distinct practice areas within the catastrophic injury space.

Construction Accidents

Construction site injuries involve overlapping liability among general contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, and property owners. New York’s labor laws provide specific protections for construction workers that differ from general negligence principles.

Defective Products

Product liability claims extend beyond the specific mass tort products in active litigation. The firm handles defective product cases across a range of consumer and industrial products.

Dangerous Drugs

Beyond the active e-cigarette and Juul mass tort litigation, the firm handles claims related to Accutane, Actos, and opioids.

Availability and Fee Structure

Consultations are free, confidential, and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The firm handles cases on contingency, charging no fees until compensation is recovered. This structure makes representation accessible regardless of a client’s financial position at the time they seek help.
