With more than 30 years representing seriously injured people in New York and New Jersey, William Ricigliano built RF Injury Law around a simple idea: his clients deserve someone who fights as hard for them as they would fight for themselves.
William specializes in catastrophic construction accidents and traumatic brain injury, cases where the stakes are highest and the legal and medical complexity demands real experience. He has recovered seven-figure results for clients across all five New York City boroughs, Nassau and Suffolk Counties, and most counties throughout northern and central New Jersey, in courts he knows well and has practiced in for decades.
What sets William apart isn’t just experience — it’s how he uses it. He believes that cases are won by telling a client’s story in a way that is honest, understandable, and impossible to ignore. That means going beyond the medical records and the legal theories to understand who his client is, what their life looked like before, and what has truly been taken from them. When a jury connects with that story, results follow.
William has extensive experience in traumatic brain injury and he is frequently invited to speak on TBI-related legal and medical issues. That expertise over years of studying his craft shapes how he builds and presents cases, from selecting the right experts to helping juries understand injuries that are very often invisible.
Inspired by his work with brain injury survivors, William founded Brain Bounce, a nonprofit organization that helps TBI survivors and their families access care, find community, and rebuild their lives, because the end of a case is rarely the end of the road for his clients.
William has been named a Metro Area Super Lawyer every year since 2013 and one of America’s Top 100 Attorneys.
