General Info

Upon graduating from Brooklyn Law School, cum laude, in 2004, New York Personal Injury Attorney Peter Saghir immediately began working for Gair, Gair, Conason,Rubinowitz, Bloom, Hershenhorn, Steigman & Mackauf. He performs all aspects of the litigation of catastrophic personal injury and medical malpractice cases from the pre-trial phase up to, and including, trial. Mr. Saghir's trial advocacy skills have flourished under the tutelage of his firm's senior partners, in particular, the Managing Partner Ben B. Rubinowitz. In fact, Peter has assisted Mr. Rubinowitz at trials in which several outstanding results were achieved for clients, including a verdict of $27.5 million dollars against the New York City Transit Authority in a case involving a pedestrian whose leg was amputated above the knee after she was struck and run over by a bus. He has also assisted Mr. Rubinowitz in the trial of a complex case against the City of New York and a construction company where the defendants carelessly and negligently failed to warn traffic on the West Side Highway of a construction site resulting in catastrophic injuries to a husband and father, who the defendants claimed was solely responsible for his accident. Following a lengthy and hotly contested trial, a Manhattan jury found the plaintiff completely free of fault and awarded him $7,125,000 in total compensation. His additional responsibilities at the firm include taking defendants' depositions, defending plaintiffs, arguing significant motions and attending court settlement conferences. Mr. Saghir has lectured at Cardozo Law School in their Advanced Trial Advocacy class. He has been selected to the 2013 New York Super Lawyers Rising Stars list.
