William Ricigliano

In 2001, William Ricigliano founded William Ricigliano, P.C., with the single goal of helping victims of catastrophic personal injury on both sides of the Hudson River. Since that time, he has obtained significant verdicts in both New York and New Jersey and has been named a Metro Area Super Lawyer the last four years. Mr. Ricigliano views advocacy and trial practice as a craft and is dedicated to developing new and creative methods of telling his client's unique stories. His victories in the courtroom have given him the opportunity to focus his attention in various areas of specialty. A $3.775 million verdict in Suffolk County for an 8 year old boy who suffered a traumatic brain injury and required a lifetime of medical care sparked Mr. Ricigliano's devotion to victims of traumatic brain injury. Similarly, a $2.6 million settlement after three weeks of trial in Brooklyn influenced his work with clients suffering from complex regional pain syndrome, a chronic pain condition caused by trauma. Mr. Ricigliano has also dedicated his practice to the representation of construction workers who sustain life altering injuries on the job. These hard working men and women include carpenters, iron workers, roofers and industrial bridge painters, who typically are unable to return to their former occupations. A significant portion of his practice is also related to handling spinal injuries, including a 5 million verdict in Suffolk County in 2015 for a Verizon Technician who was struck by a Suffolk County Parks vehicle, was forced to undergo spinal surgery and never returned to work. Mr. Ricigliano's trial results have been included as verdict of the year on multiple occasions.
