Lower Manhattan Personal Injury Attorney
New York City is unlike few other places in the world, thanks to the rich history and diversity of its neighborhoods. South of 14th Street, Lower Manhattan has a different energy than the hustle-bustle of Midtown with its iconic skyscrapers or the townhouses and streets of the Upper West Side.
Here, you’ll find Greenwich Village, which includes the West Village and Meatpacking District; the Whitney Museum for American Art; the High Line; Nolita; the vintage stores and lofts of NoHo; New York University; the Angelika Film Center; the Public Theater; the food and festivals of Little Italy; the cuisine and culture of Chinatown; the planned community of Battery Park City; the South Street Seaport; the famous Brooklyn Bridge; and the fast-paced Financial District.

At Belluck & Fox, LLP, our dedicated New York City mesothelioma lawyers have been helping accident victims for more than 20 years. Our nationally respected law firm has recovered more than $1 billion for clients who have suffered from workplace injuries and illnesses, car accidents, slip-and-falls, and other types of life-altering accidents.
