Personal Injury Law
Zivotov Law represents clients in personal injury cases involving accidents, medical malpractice, and negligence. Our attorneys advocate for victims' rights to fair compensation for physical, emotional, and financial damages. With decades of courtroom experience, we handle complex cases involving traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and wrongful death claims.
Medical Malpractice
Our firm specializes in medical malpractice cases against healthcare providers for misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and birth injuries. We work with medical experts to prove negligence and secure compensation for ongoing treatment costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Recent successes include a $500,000 settlement for an elderly patient's drop foot condition.
Auto Accidents
We handle all types of motor vehicle accident cases, including commercial truck collisions and pedestrian incidents. Our team investigates liability, negotiates with insurance companies, and pursues full compensation for medical expenses and lost income. Notable results include a $14 million verdict for a car service driver wrongly blamed for an accident.
Traumatic Brain Injury
Zivotov Law has secured multiple settlements for clients with traumatic brain injuries using advanced neurodiagnostic evidence. We work with medical specialists to document cognitive impairments and prove liability in cases where victims were initially blamed for their injuries, such as the $750,000 settlement against the City of New York.
Wrongful Death
Our attorneys represent families in wrongful death lawsuits following fatal accidents or medical errors. We help grieving families recover compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional distress. The firm's experience includes high-profile cases like the $22 million settlement for a Russian boxer's brain injury that resulted in death.

To be a good lawyer is one think.And this lawyer is amazing. He wins cases no one can.. But to be a good person and become a friend and to care for people is another..Not only he was fighting to protect my family interests, he became a friend.. I did recommend this lawyer couple times to my friends and he won the cases.. I give him 7 starts..

Report
Was referred by my family members and a client of theirs but very very irresponsible. Never return calls, never replying on emails. Even if someone does not have a case or whatever, they should still always get back to you and let you know, at least from professional point of view. Highly not recommend!

Very good lawyer. I had a motorcycle accident and went to Boris Zivotov. We got awarded the maximum amount. I went to several other lawyers before I found Boris, he's not one of those sleazy lawyers, he's very fair and honest. Overall had a very good experience. I would definitely recommend him for all your legal needs.

Every time I'm trying to get in touch about my 6y old case my calls not returning. I have no idea what's going on with my case. That is very disappointing.
