Jacoby & Meyers x Ben Crump: a Legal Collaboration
Through a steadfast dedication to justice and service, renowned civil rights and personal injury attorney Benjamin Crump has established himself as one of the nation’s foremost lawyers and advocates for social justice. His legal acumen has ensured that those marginalized in American society are protected by their nation’s contract with its constituency. The law firm of Jacoby & Meyers, LLP NY was established in 1972 on the then-revolutionary belief that there needed to be a law firm dedicated to providing top-quality legal representation to everyone. Unlike corporations and wealthy individuals who could afford the best attorneys money could buy, the typical citizen was unable to hire high-quality legal representation.
This partnership reflects our deep alignment of values and a united commitment to expanding access to high-quality legal representation in cases involving catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, and other matters that profoundly impact vulnerable populations. By combining resources, knowledge, and a mutual dedication to client-centered advocacy, the firms aim to amplify their impact and pursue justice on a broader scale.
Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries change lives in an instant—and the road to recovery can be long, painful, and expensive. We fight for individuals and families in New York whose lives have been shattered by severe injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, amputations, and severe burns. These cases demand experienced, aggressive representation—and a deep understanding of the long-term impact these injuries have on a person’s future. We work tirelessly to secure the full compensation our clients deserve for medical care, lost income, pain and suffering, and more.
Hazing Injuries
Hazing is never harmless. When it crosses the line, it can lead to devastating physical and emotional injuries. We represent victims of hazing incidents across New York, including those harmed in fraternities, athletic teams, school organizations, and other institutions. We understand the fear, shame, and silence that often surround these cases—and we’re here to break that silence and fight for accountability. Whether you or a loved one suffered injuries due to forced drinking, physical abuse, or psychological torment, our team is ready to stand up for your rights, demand justice, and help you begin the path to healing.
Industrial injuries
Industrial accidents can result in life-altering injuries and overwhelming uncertainty. We represent workers and individuals injured in factories, warehouses, construction sites, and other industrial settings throughout New York. From equipment malfunctions and explosions to falls and toxic exposure, we understand the complexities of these high-risk environments—and the legal challenges that come with them. Our team works aggressively to hold negligent employers, contractors, and manufacturers accountable, pursuing maximum compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and long-term care. If you’ve been injured on the job or in an industrial setting, you don’t have to face the aftermath alone—we’re here to fight for you.
Negligent Security
Property owners in New York have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe—and that includes providing adequate security. When they fail to do so, the consequences can be devastating. We represent victims of assaults, robberies, and other violent crimes that occurred due to negligent security in apartment buildings, hotels, parking garages, nightclubs, and other public or private properties. Whether it’s broken locks, poor lighting, lack of security personnel, or ignored warnings, we fight to hold property owners and managers accountable for the harm caused. If you or a loved one has been injured because someone failed to protect you, we’re here to help you seek justice and the compensation you deserve.
Police Brutality
No one is above the law—not even those who are sworn to uphold it. We stand with victims of police brutality and misconduct throughout New York, fighting for justice when law enforcement crosses the line. Whether you’ve been subjected to excessive force, unlawful arrest, racial profiling, or in-custody abuse, our team is committed to holding officers and departments accountable. We understand the fear, trauma, and lasting damage these encounters cause, and we’re here to help you assert your rights, demand accountability, and pursue meaningful compensation. Justice starts with speaking out—and we’re ready to stand with you every step of the way.
Sexual Abuse
