Personal Injury Representation Backed By Decades Of Experience
For over 30 years, attorney Bob Rich has spent his legal career mostly defending personal injury and medical negligence claims. He learned, developed and successfully used “every weapon in the arsenal” to win scores of verdicts in court on behalf of the insurance companies or their policyholders. Now, Bob uses his experience and first-hand knowledge of the techniques used by the defense to deny claims in order to more effectively fight on behalf of the victims of negligence.
Decades of trying complex cases involving various areas of medicine have allowed Bob to acquire a broad and in-depth knowledge of medical issues, which makes him particularly skillful at evaluating, investigating and preparing your case for trial. If you’ve been injured in New York’s Hudson River Valley, The Law Offices of Robert F. Rich, Jr. PLLC, is the smart choice for representation.

Why It Is Important To Work With A Skilled Trial Attorney
When choosing an attorney to be your advocate in a personal injury matter, most knowledgeable people agree that you will be best served by someone who has actual courtroom experience. While it is true that the majority of personal injury cases settle out of court before trial, it is also true that the odds of achieving a favorable settlement are far greater when the insurance company knows it is dealing with an attorney who has a proven track record of being ready, willing and able to take a case to court and try it before a jury rather than settle the case for less than its full fair value. Having an experienced trial lawyer on your side allows you the flexibility of being able to negotiate from a position of strength.
Many people do not realize that the vast majority of attorneys do not spend any time in court trying cases. In fact, only a tiny percentage of attorneys ever try cases in front of juries, and Bob Rich is one of them. From this select few, Bob has been rated among the top 1% of trial attorneys for medical malpractice in New York State by Medical Malpractice Lawyers, an independent publication that uses a rigorous, multiple-step selection process, including actual verdict history and peer reviews.
Bob has won verdicts in federal court (Southern District of New York), and state supreme court in the following counties: Albany, Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester. He has built a reputation of excellence as a trial lawyer not only with his clients but among judges, peers, insurance companies and his adversaries as well.
