Injured in NYC’s Northern Suburbs? Here’s a List of The Top-Rated Personal Injury Lawyers in Westchester County

When New Yorkers think of top-tier personal injury attorneys, they picture Manhattan high-rises and congested city commutes. But as Is That Legal highlights in their recently published ranking, Westchester County residents don’t need to battle New York City’s hustle, bustle, and traffic to find elite legal representation. 

There is a deep bench of high-power personal injury lawyers right in the Westchester area— and many accident victims may not even know they’re there. Which is important, because New York’s no-fault insurance system requires proof of “serious injury” to pursue full compensation, and insurance defense tactics are growing increasingly sophisticated.

For Westchester County residents dealing with the aftermath of a serious accident, having a skilled local attorney who understands local and NYC jury dynamics, and is easily accessible for in-person meetings can make a meaningful difference in the outcome of a case. 

You can see the research and article from Is That Legal here. We have nothing negative to say about this list because the editorial team employed rigorous and objective criteria in evaluating each lawyer and law firm, including:

• Verification of having staffed offices in Westchester County serving local clients 
• All publicly available client reviews, satisfaction, and reliability data from third-party platforms were considered and not cherry-picked
• Track record of recoveries and monetary amounts secured for clients
• Major case victories, including multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements
• Professional ratings and peer recognition from organizations like Martindale-Hubbell, Super Lawyers, and the National Trial Lawyers
• Years of experience, and dedication to personal injury above other types of law

The Top Eight: Best Personal Injury Lawyers in Westchester County NY

Below are the lawyers and law firms that scored highest according to Is That Legal’s methodology:

1. Jeffrey Weiskopf – The Law Office of Jeffrey Weiskopf, P.C.

Location: Ossining, NY, Serving Westchester County

Earning the top spot on the list, Jeffrey Weiskopf stands out for his exceptional combination of courtroom skill, medical malpractice expertise, and a deeply personal approach to client service. With nearly 20 years of hands-on litigation experience and over $20 million recovered for injured clients, Weiskopf has built a reputation as one of Westchester County’s most trusted trial lawyers.

His standout results include a $3.25 million medical malpractice verdict for a failed urologic surgery, a $1.8 million recovery for failure to diagnose lung cancer, and most recently, a the most recent a $2,021,000 jury verdict in December 2025 for a slip-and-fall victim. Three of his five highlighted case results involve medical malpractice — a practice area that is notoriously difficult and that many personal injury firms avoid entirely.

He maintains a perfect 5.0-star Google rating from over 45 client reviews, serves as an Adjunct Professor of Law at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, and has background experience as a Senior Court Attorney to a New York County judge.  What sets Weiskopf apart from larger firms is his commitment to handling every case personally from initial consultation through resolution, rather than delegating to junior associates.
