New York Personal Injury & Construction Accident Attorneys
An accident changes everything overnight. What happens next shouldn't be a fight you have to win by yourself.
That’s where we step in. The Edwards Firm handles personal injury cases across New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania: construction accidents, slip and falls, motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, and more. We’re also proud to be a trusted firm for a union with thousands of members who count on us to look out for their own.
We don’t drag cases out, and we don’t rush them, either. What we care about is whether you walk away with everything you’re actually owed.
”"Mr. Edwards is second to none! Before I met with Mr. Edwards I had another attorney who wouldn't answer my calls - he didn't even file my paperwork. After meeting Mr. Edwards, he explained my options, took my case and got me a settlement that I was excited about. He is a great negotiator, and he knows all the tricks the insurance companies play. My family is still prospering from the settlement you got us."

Practice Areas
If someone else’s negligence turned your life upside down, we handle it. We take on the cases insurance companies hope you’ll give up on.
Construction Accidents
Construction sites are among the most dangerous places to work. If you were injured by falling debris, defective equipment, or unsafe conditions, you may be entitled to compensation beyond workers’ compensation.
Premises Liability
If you were injured by a dangerous condition on someone else’s property, you may be able to hold the owner responsible. Owners must repair known hazards or warn visitors, from wet floors to broken stairs to inadequate security.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
If another driver’s negligence, whether texting, drunk driving, speeding, or failing to yield, caused your crash, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Medical Malpractice
When a medical provider deviates from accepted standards of care and causes you harm, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Medical malpractice claims often involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or medication mistakes.
Nursing Home Abuse & Negligence
Nursing home abuse and neglect can cause serious injury or death, often resulting from understaffing, inadequate training, or poor supervision.
Civil Rights Violations
When police or government actors violate your constitutional rights, through excessive force, false arrest, or unlawful search, you may be entitled to compensation. The Edwards Firm LLP fights to hold violators accountable and protect your rights.
About Lennon C. Edwards
Jamaican-born and Brooklyn-bred, Lennon C. Edwards is a fighter. He built his reputation preparing every case like it’s headed to trial, whether the client is a construction worker hurt on the job or a name you’d recognize. That’s why insurance companies know better than to underestimate him. The team he leads at The Edwards Firm is small by design. You’re never a file number waiting on a callback. You’re working with people who know your name, know your story, and are going to fight for it like it’s their own.

How We Build Your Case
STEP 1
You tell us what happened.
We’ll start with a real conversation: what happened, what you’re dealing with now, and what a fair outcome actually looks like for you before any decisions get made.
STEP 2
We prepare like we’re going to trial, even if we don’t.
Insurance companies can tell when a firm is bluffing and when it’s ready for trial. We build every case as if it’s going to court, so we’re negotiating from strength, not guesswork.
STEP 3
It’s easy to settle fast. We hold out for what’s best for you.
We won’t rush you into a settlement or drag things out longer than you want. You’ll know where your case stands the whole way through, and we’ll stand with you every step of the way.
