What Makes Eric Richman Different
At larger firms, your case file gets passed between paralegals and case managers. You leave messages. You wait days for callbacks. You wonder if anyone is actually paying attention to your situation.
Eric Richman operates differently. When you call, Eric or one of the highly experienced attorneys that he works with will answer. When decisions need to be made about your case strategy, The Law Offices of Eric Richman makes them with you. You get your attorney’s direct attention and honest communication at every stage.
Why Personal Injury Cases in Kingston Demand an Attorney Who Knows Ulster County
Kingston is not like other communities in New York. The combination of rural highways, harsh winters, active construction, and growing tourism creates injury risks that require an attorney with specific local knowledge. Understanding how these factors shape your case can mean the difference between fair compensation and an insurance company’s lowball offer.
Route 9W is the most dangerous road in Ulster County, responsible for 19 fatal crashes and the highest injury rates of any corridor in the region. The Milton Turnpike intersection alone recorded 26 northbound-involved collisions over five years. If your accident happened along Route 9W or near the I-87 exits, Eric understands the traffic patterns, road conditions, and investigation resources specific to these locations.
Construction activity across Kingston’s waterfront redevelopment and surrounding areas creates a serious risk for workers. Falls, scaffolding failures, and equipment accidents are common on Ulster County job sites. If you were injured on a construction site, you have legal rights regardless of your immigration status. Undocumented workers injured in Kingston are protected under New York law and deserve the same aggressive representation as anyone else.
With an average of 42 inches of snowfall, Kingston’s winters bring icy sidewalks, unplowed parking lots, and hazardous road conditions from November through March. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. When they fail, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries.

Our Proven Results
Getting Our Clients The Best Results is Our Top Priority
When a personal injury victim is suffering from injuries, it can be difficult to make the right decisions that can prevent poor legal and financial outcomes. This is where working with an expert personal injury lawyer becomes necessary, and we will work around the clock to help our clients get the justice they deserve.
We’ve listed some of our most recent legal settlements below for your consideration:
$1,500,000
Pedestrian Accident
While crossing the street at a crosswalk, a pedestrian was recklessly run over by an inattentive driver. Eric successfully proved the case to the Judge. At that point, the Trial proceeded only on a partial basis – to determine the amount owed to the Plaintiff for her injuries. Due to the Plaintiff’s multiple back fractures and surgeries, Eric was able to obtain $1,500,000 to compensate her for her pain and suffering.
$1,500,000
Homicide Victim / Negligent Security
A tenant was tragically murdered in her New York City apartment. Her family retained the Law Office of Eric Richman, Esq. Our office immediately started a negligent security case against the insurance company for the landlord.
We hired safety experts to make the case as strong as possible. Eric was able to prove that the victim’s building was unsafe and was a magnet for crime. The case settled for $1,500,000.
$1,100,000
Pedestrian Accident
After being struck by a motor vehicle while crossing the street, a client was hospitalized for several months with multiple fractures, head injuries, and surgeries. An expert in accident reconstruction analysis proved that the accident was the driver’s fault.
Not Sure If You Have a Case?
Many injury victims hesitate to call because they are unsure whether their situation qualifies. Insurance adjusters count on that doubt. They want you to accept a low offer or walk away before speaking with an attorney.
Here is what Eric will do: evaluate your situation honestly, tell you whether you have a viable claim, and explain your options clearly. No obligation. No pressure. No fee for the conversation. If your case is not worth pursuing, Eric will tell you directly. That honesty is the foundation of every attorney-client relationship at this firm.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
What does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney in Kingston?
We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means there are no upfront costs or hourly fees. You pay nothing unless we win your case through settlement or verdict. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery, so our success is directly tied to yours. There’s zero financial risk in getting experienced legal representation fighting for you.
How long will my personal injury case take in Ulster County?
Every case is different. The length of your case depends on the complexity of your injuries and the insurance company involved. Some cases resolve faster, while others may require a trial. Eric Richman keeps you informed throughout the process and fights for the best possible outcome.
What should I do in the first 24 hours after an accident in Kingston?
Seek medical attention at HealthAlliance Hospital or your provider. Document everything: photos, police reports, witness contact information. Do not give recorded statements to the insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
What if the insurance company already made me an offer?
Insurance companies frequently make early offers designed to close your claim before you understand its full value. Before accepting anything, have Eric review the offer at no cost. You may be entitled to significantly more than what is on the table.
