ROURA & MELAMED has successfully represented accident victims in New York City for the past 30 years. We have special experience in labor law claims (Section 240) and other construction accidents, but we welcome all personal injury cases.

Through aggressive representation and old-fashioned hard work, our attorneys have obtained multimillion-dollar recoveries in a wide range of cases.

Advocates for the Hispanic Community

Our law firm was established in 1980 to serve NYC's underrepresented Latino population. Founding attorney Walter Roura is himself of Catalan and Puerto Rican heritage, and we have several Spanish speakers on staff.

Even if you are not a legal resident of the U.S., you can seek injury compensation without fear of being deported. With a strong practice in immigration law and criminal defense, we can address a wide variety of your legal needs.

Injured in a Construction Accident?

Construction injuries are a major focus of our firm, including ladder and scaffolding accidents and all injuries in building, remodeling, maintenance or demolition. Our close association with various construction trades dates to the formulation of current labor laws. If you are a union employee, we can address your concerns about bringing an injury claim.

Personal Attention for Personal Injury Clients

Our personal injury practice has obtained millions of dollars for victims of auto and public transportation accidents, unsafe premises injuries, lead paint poisoning and more.

We will walk you through the process, and we take care of everything so that you can concentrate on your physical recovery. Our courtroom reputation enables us to settle the majority of cases without the anxiety and uncertainty of a trial, but we know how to take your case to a jury when necessary to get justice.
