Personal Injury

Experience
Before Mr. McKain formed the Mckain Law Firm, P.C., he “cut his teeth” defending the insurance companies responsible for compensating personal injury victims. Having represented most of the largest insurance companies, Mr. McKain now utilizes that experience to represent the injured. The McKain Law Firm, P.C. handles all-types of personal injury claims, including injuries arising from motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, construction and scaffold accidents, wrongful deaths, wrongful incarceration, police brutality and pedestrian and bicycle accidents. Mr. McKain has handled cases in the New York State Supreme Court and the United States Federal Courts.

Attention
Unlike clients at the large personal injury law firms, our clients are treated like they are our only client. Many people do not understand that the large personal injury firms profit from case volume, not by maximizing the value of each and every case. They seek to avoid trial at all costs and have no personal stake in the client’s case. The McKain Law Firm, P.C. only accepts a select number of cases so that it can devote sufficient time to every one of its clients. Each client is special, and both the client and the firm share the common goal of obtaining the full value of the client’s claim. We also understand that cases must sometimes proceed to trial. As the late John F. Kennedy once remarked while speaking about the Communist threat, “never negotiate out of fear but never be afraid to negotiate.”

Cost
We represent all of our personal injury clients on a contingency basis, which means that we take a percentage of any recovery. Thus, if we don’t recover anything, we don’t receive anything. While 33% is the standard contingency rate, we often accept a lesser rate, something the large firms rarely do.
