Why Wolf & Fuhrman LLP?

Committed to Our Clients & Our Community

Our attorneys are truly committed to their clients and have extensive experience in both medical and legal issues, combined with a track record of success. Eliot Wolf and Marvin Fuhrman are lifelong friends who began their law partnership in 1991. Eliot was a successful foot surgeon when he told his buddy Marvin, a partner in a New York City law firm, that he intended to go to law school at night while running his medical practice during the day. From there, the idea was born for Wolf & Fuhrman LLP. The two friends have successfully practiced law for more than 30 years, the last 15 of which have been out of their storefront offices on Webster Avenue in the Bronx. At Wolf & Fuhrman LLP, we seek justice and compensation for victims of medical errors and personal injury throughout the Bronx and New York.

Wolf & Fuhrman LLP began based on Eliot’s medical background and Marvin’s trial experience as a defense attorney representing doctors and hospitals for the Medical Malpractice Insurance Association. The firm grew to 20 attorneys in 11,000 square feet of office space in Midtown Manhattan. Around 2001, Wolf & Fuhrman LLP chose to become lean and mean, and Marvin and Eliot chose to devote their legal talents solely to seeking compensation for injured victims in the Bronx and throughout New York State. As plaintiffs’ personal injury attorneys, Eliot and Marvin take great satisfaction in obtaining justice and compensation for their clients.

Common Questions Injured Victims Ask

Should I hire a personal injury or medical malpractice lawyer?
There are many reasons to hire a personal injury or medical malpractice attorney. Numerous studies have shown that people who hire lawyers typically receive better settlements than those who resolve their claims on their own. One of the many reasons for this is that an attorney will know how to use the law to your advantage. Insurance companies know this and may be more likely to settle your claim than take on the risk (and expense) of going to trial. Plus, when you hire an attorney, you allow yourself the ability to focus on healing. You won’t have to worry about communicating with the insurance company, gathering evidence, submitting paperwork, or negotiating a fair settlement. Instead, your lawyer can handle all of the legal details on your behalf, all while making sure that you are fully informed and up to date on the status of your case.
How much does a personal injury/medical malpractice lawyer cost?
Wolf & Fuhrman LLP have always provided their legal services to injured persons on a contingency fee basis. This means that your attorney’s legal fees are contingent on them “winning” your case. Once your attorney has negotiated a settlement or won a verdict on your behalf, a portion of your recovery is used to pay your attorney’s legal fees. The exact percentage that will be used to pay your attorney's legal fees is something that you and your attorney should discuss prior to you hiring them. When you work with our firm, you do not pay any upfront or out-of-pocket expenses. If we do not recover compensation on your behalf, you do not pay at all. For more information about our fee structures, please contact us.
How long do I have to file a personal injury or medical malpractice lawsuit?
Every state has what is known as a “statute of limitations” on different types of legal cases. This essentially means there is a deadline by which you must file your lawsuit, or else you will lose your right to sue the liable party for damages. In New York, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years, with the exception of. For medical malpractice cases, where the statute of limitations is just two years and six months. The date on which the clock starts running depends on the specifics of the case, but is usually the date of injury. The deadline or the date on which the injury was discovered/reasonably discoverable. can sometimes be extended under certain fact specific circumstances. In cases involving a municipality, the City, State or a Federal agency there are notice requirements which can be as short as 90 days from the negligent acts. In any case, it is important that you act quickly. The sooner you get in touch with an attorney at our firm, the sooner we can begin building your case and protecting your rights.
