How we help

A family firm ready to stand between you and the insurance company.

A catastrophic injury may affect work, independence, relationships, and long-term medical needs. We look beyond today’s bills to understand how the injury may shape an entire future.

We take time to understand not only how the incident happened, but how the injury has changed your work, health, independence, and family life. That full picture guides our approach to negotiation and, when necessary, litigation.

Before your first conversation

Preparing to discuss a life-changing injury

You do not need a complete file to contact us. Start with the facts you know; keep original documents and photographs, and tell us about any upcoming deadlines.

  • A timeline of the incident, treatment providers, and the care received so far.
  • Information about missed work, assistance at home, rehabilitation, and changes in daily activities.
  • Available insurance correspondence, bills, and recommendations from treating professionals.

Use the initial inquiry form for a short summary. Do not send medical records, account numbers, or other highly sensitive documents through that form; ask the firm how to provide documents appropriately.

How can we explain the impact beyond medical bills?

Describe specific changes in mobility, concentration, work, household activities, and the assistance now needed. Existing records and a factual account from the injured person and family can help organize the discussion. Future needs should be evaluated with appropriate professionals rather than guessed from the current bills.

Insurance knowledge, grounded in experience

Luciano L. “Nino” Lama worked in insurance before becoming an attorney. Learn about his insurance industry background and published insurance books. Our father-and-son firm pairs that perspective with attention to the facts of each injury claim.

Do not wait for a complete file to ask about deadlines.

Time limits depend on the claim and circumstances. Insurance requirements and claims involving public entities may require earlier action. An inquiry does not extend a deadline or establish representation. The New York Courts time-limit overview provides general information, not a determination of your deadline.

Based at 2343 North Triphammer Road in Ithaca, we serve Central New York, the Southern Tier, and clients throughout New York State. Contact and directions · 607-275-3425
