Steven Richard Smith
The Personal Injury Law Office of Steven R. Smith, with 35 years of experience
Steven R. Smith was born in Queens, New York and has lived in Queens County, Kings County, Nassau County and Suffolk County. After receiving an undergraduate and masters degree in Psychology, he went on to obtain a law degree from prestigious "St. John's University School of Law." He has given back to students there by serving as a "mock trial" Judge and hired interns to learn about the practicalities of law.
Steven started his career learning insurance personal injury defense, working for one of the most prestigious defense firms in New York. He thereafter worked for one of the finest Plaintiff's personal injury medical malpractice firms in New York before opening his own personal injury practice over twenty years ago, The Law Office of Steven R. Smith, handling only cases for people who have been injured in an accident or through medical malpractice.
While some law firms pride themselves in starting a lot of law suits, Steven knows that the clients don't want law suits; they want settlements. Steven works hard to put their case in a great position to be settled because he knows what factors the insurance company's look for and value and is therefore able to settle most cases without costly and time consuming litigation. Our Google Reviews prove how effective we are. We are very proud of what our actual clients have to say about our firm.

Contingent Fees
All cases are taken on a contingency basis. This means that we only charge a legal fee if we are successful in obtaining monetary compensation for the injuries which you suffered in the accident. This fee is deducted from the final settlement . Case expenses are payable at the end of the case. So in other words, we do not charge for telephone calls, letters, emails or texts. You do not get bills from us throughout the case and you do not have to take any money out of your pocket to hire us as your lawyer. People are often afraid to hire a lawyer because they are afraid of getting attorney bills. Since we only get paid a legal fee if and only if we are successful, you need not have the fear of receiving a bill. Our goal is to help you recover from your accident as comfortably as possible without having to worry about paying attorney fees during your case.

- Q. If I burned my breast from pizza roll sauce and it left a small scar on my new breast augmentation can I sue?
- A: Well, first off, anyone could sue for anything. The actual question is whether you will be successful. In my opinion, you would not be successful. In order to be successful you have to prove that the party against whom you are making a claim was negligent. First of all, you dropped the sauce on yourself so that was your own contributory negligence. But more importantly, Sauce is meant to be hot and you were surely aware of the fact that it was hot and so you have your own duty to be careful. I do not see any negligence on the part of whomever provided you with the pizza sauce, whether it was a restaurant, or a heated up frozen food. I just do not see any negligence on the part of anyone else, ... Read More
- Q. I accidentally side swiped a outdoor restaurant seating structure on the street? There was no real damage no police repo
- A: Taking a photograph of your license plate is certainly legal. To prove assault, he would have to prove intent to harm. This sounds more like a simple, negligence action. If your car accidentally hit a structure, your liability insurance should cover the damage. Simply report the accident to your Insurance as soon as possible and if that person has a claim, they can put it through your insurance. Unless you intended to harm the person, I would not see this as an assault. Assault is a criminal charge and they would have to go to the police to report it .
- Q. Can a personal injury case in supreme court be heard after 30 yrs? I have a 1,000,000 suite against the city of NY
- A: Well first of all, go on the court website and make sure that your case is marked ‘active’ and not ‘disposed’ which would be a problem. If it’s ‘disposed’ it means the case is closed and then someone would have to contact the court to get it re-opened. Unless of course, there was a dismissal or settlement which are generally the reasons a case would be ‘disposed.’
Secondly, you are absolutely entitled to your file and should insist on it.
Finally, you are not obligated to use any particular attorney and once you get the file you can have it reviewed by an attorney of your Choice to then see who you want to use.
