Why Choose Ajlouny Injury Law?
For more than two decades, individuals and families in Brooklyn have relied on us during their most difficult times. Led by Paul Ajlouny, who trained in medicine before becoming a trial lawyer, our team can understand brain scan results, explain medical records, and present the lasting effects of a traumatic brain injury to insurance companies and courts.
Our unique medical-legal advantage: Brain injuries are not just legal cases—they're complex medical crises. When your attorney can personally read brain scans, interpret neurological assessments, and understand the long-term implications of traumatic brain injuries, every aspect of your case becomes stronger. We don't just rely on experts to explain your medical records—we understand them ourselves.
Our lawyers have recovered more than $300 million through verdicts and settlements for New Yorkers—including residents facing ongoing medical needs after a catastrophic injury. Our track record includes:
- $3.26M – Brooklyn woman with neck and back injuries from a slip and fall

We provide detailed guidance, personal attention, and clear communication from your first call through the entire legal process. Our local experience allows us to handle cases involving car accidents on Flatbush Avenue, construction accidents in downtown Brooklyn, or slip and fall incidents in residential buildings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes brain injury cases in Brooklyn unique?
Brooklyn’s dense traffic, active construction zones, and aging buildings mean brain injuries often result from car accidents, falls, or worksite incidents. These cases can involve complex liability under New York City building codes, Labor Law provisions, and local court procedures. Experienced Brooklyn trial lawyers understand how Kings County juries view damages and how to navigate the court’s unique process effectively.
How soon should I contact a brain injury lawyer after an accident?
Right away. Evidence such as surveillance footage or witness statements can disappear quickly, and New York law limits how long you have to file a claim. Early legal help also prevents insurance companies from taking advantage of you and ensures your attorney can build the strongest possible case from the start.
Can I still file a claim if my brain injury happened at work?
Yes. You may qualify for workers’ compensation, but a skilled brain injury attorney in Brooklyn can also determine if a third party—such as a negligent driver, equipment manufacturer, or property owner—shares responsibility. New York Labor Law Sections 240, 241, and 200 often provide additional protection for injured construction workers.
Should I get a second opinion if another firm turned down my brain injury case?
Absolutely. Some firms only take simple cases. Brain injury claims can be complex, involving subtle medical symptoms or disputed liability. An attorney with both legal and medical insight can often identify strengths other lawyers miss. It costs nothing to get a second opinion and find out if your case deserves another look.
What if I can’t afford a brain injury lawyer?
You can. Our Brooklyn brain injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis—meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case. There are no hourly rates or upfront costs, so you can focus on recovery while we handle the fight for compensation.
