Zachary M. Beriloff is a founding partner of Puma Law Group, P.C., whose area of practice is all personal injury litigation. The law, like everything else in life, can get things wrong. When this happens, an injured person’s remedy is to appeal the bad decision to a higher court. Many personal injury firms are unable to continue the fight due to the complexity and difficulty of appealing a decision, even though the decision was wrong. Over the last decade, Zachary has overturned dozens of incorrect decisions, fighting for his clients’ right to their day in court and getting them the compensation they deserve for their injuries.

In personal injury cases in New York, insurance companies have an arsenal of legal tools, with virtually unlimited resources, all focused on dismissing your case before you even get to tell your side of the story in court. Zachary has navigated these complex issues and fought for his clients’ right to their day in court and compensation for their pain and suffering. Zachary’s skills have allowed hundreds of injured victims to be awarded the money they deserved for being hurt due to someone else’s irresponsible behavior despite the insurance companies bringing the full weight of their resources against them.

Don’t let the insurance companies bully you out of what you deserve. Call Zachary today.
