A Legacy of Success in Personal Injury Law

For over 30 years, our personal injury attorneys in the Bronx have successfully helped victims of all types of serious accidents and injuries, including slip/trip and falls, car crashes, construction mishaps/injuries, motorcycle and truck collisions, birth injuries, brain damage, exposure to lead paint, medical errors, and more. We have also represented the rights of those injured while incarcerated in prison and have helped families seek justice when a relative was tragically killed due to the careless and wrongful conduct of another.

Wolf & Fuhrman LLP has represented children injured in playground accidents caused by defective conditions, children exposed to lead paint, residents of public housing injured due to squalid dangerous conditions, patients subjected to medical errors, and others. Our clients are typically poorer New Yorkers subject to injustices that would never be permitted in other, wealthier areas of New York. We have fought on behalf of catastrophic injury victims who were left with permanent physical disabilities and brain damage—and we have won time and time again.

An Experienced Medical Malpractice Team with a Reputation for Results

Studies have found medical errors to be the third leading cause of death in the U.S. In addition to our extensive personal injury practice, we represent individuals who have suffered immeasurable harm due to the carelessness of medical professionals. Our medical malpractice attorneys in the Bronx believe in holding negligent doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other medical providers, accountable.

Co-founding attorney Dr. Eliot Wolf has a unique understanding of various medical issues, having worked as a highly regarded foot surgeon for many years. This, coupled with a background in medical malpractice defense, means that Wolf & Fuhrman LLP truly understands the ins and outs of both the medical and legal systems. We have seen firsthand how systemic racism leads to preventable errors, misdiagnosis, and, in the most tragic of cases, wrongful death. If you have been injured or if someone you love passed away because of a healthcare provider’s substandard care, know that you deserve justice—and our firm can help.

We have a long history of success in representing individuals, children, and families in all types of medical malpractice cases. We often stay involved in our clients’ lives long after their cases are resolved, ensuring that they receive the continued medical care and support they need.

Why Wolf & Fuhrman LLP?

Committed to Our Clients & Our Community

Our attorneys are truly committed to their clients and have extensive experience in both medical and legal issues, combined with a track record of success. Eliot Wolf and Marvin Fuhrman are lifelong friends who began their law partnership in 1991. Eliot was a successful foot surgeon when he told his buddy Marvin, a partner in a New York City law firm, that he intended to go to law school at night while running his medical practice during the day. From there, the idea was born for Wolf & Fuhrman LLP. The two friends have successfully practiced law for more than 30 years, the last 15 of which have been out of their storefront offices on Webster Avenue in the Bronx. At Wolf & Fuhrman LLP, we seek justice and compensation for victims of medical errors and personal injury throughout the Bronx and New York.

Wolf & Fuhrman LLP began based on Eliot’s medical background and Marvin’s trial experience as a defense attorney representing doctors and hospitals for the Medical Malpractice Insurance Association. The firm grew to 20 attorneys in 11,000 square feet of office space in Midtown Manhattan. Around 2001, Wolf & Fuhrman LLP chose to become lean and mean, and Marvin and Eliot chose to devote their legal talents solely to seeking compensation for injured victims in the Bronx and throughout New York State. As plaintiffs’ personal injury attorneys, Eliot and Marvin take great satisfaction in obtaining justice and compensation for their clients.

  • Over 65 Years of Combined Experience

  • Helping and Supporting the Bronx Community
