New York Lawyer Jeffrey B. Bloom

Since joining the firm following his graduation from law school in 1979, Jeffrey Bloom has carved out a reputation as one of the top personal injury and medical malpractice attorneys in New York. Known and respected by both the bench and bar as a fierce advocate on behalf of the clients, he has helped his clients successfully achieve numerous multi-million dollar recoveries.

Mr. Bloom has tried and managed numerous important tort cases involving medical malpractice, auto accidents, construction accidents and products liability, resulting in substantial awards. These include a successful lawsuit brought against Chrysler regarding a negligently designed gas tank in one of its vans which caused a fire resulting in the death of a mother and her two children, and a case against a landlord and construction company following a building collapse in Manhattan. During that multi-party litigation, Mr. Bloom was appointed by the Court as the lead counsel, representing all injured parties in the accident.

Among his memberships to numerous bar associations and organizations, he has been appointed by the Administrative Justice to serve on the Supreme Court Medical Malpractice Steering Committee. He also lectures extensively to fellow lawyers on the preparation and trial of personal injury lawsuits, including serving as the Chairperson of a State Bar Association-sponsored program entitled "Medical and Legal Issues in Breast Cancer and Gynecological Cancers and Surgery." He is listed in the prestigious Best Lawyers in America in the fields of medical malpractice law, personal injury law, legal malpractice and professional malpractice law.

Mr. Bloom describes his view of his job as follows: "One of the most difficult events a person may ever encounter is being told that he or she has a serious illness such as cancer. Even more devastating, however, is the realization that the disease should have and could have been diagnosed earlier. As a medical malpractice attorney, my role is to prove this medical negligence to the jury with the ultimate goal of securing a substantial award as compensation for the losses suffered by our clients"

He lives with his wife Jeanne, an attorney, and their two sons in Manhattan.
