Personal Injury Lawyers For the People

If you have been injured by another person or business, now is a time when you need experienced legal counsel.

You need an attorney who can successfully speak on your behalf with the insurance company responsible. You also need a litigator who can fight to protect you in court if a trial before a judge and jury becomes necessary.

At Scarzafava & Basdekis, PLLC, we are the lawyers for you. From our office in Oneonta, we represent injured people primarily in Otsego, Delaware and Chenango counties.

Successful Cases

Personal Injury Law Is All We Do

We understand how overwhelming an unexpected injury or accident can be. Another party’s negligence can result in life-changing injuries, emotional trauma or, in the worst cases, the death of a family member.

It is because of this injustice that our firm has been devoted to exclusively representing the innocently injured and bereaved since the firm was founded in 1981. This is the legacy that we began to build upon our firm’s inception and will continue to foster for years to come.

Get Full Compensation For All Your Losses

Our experienced Oneonta personal injury lawyers will help you determine a fair compensation amount that covers both the hard costs, such as medical bills, lost income, repair costs for damaged property and out-of-pocket expenses, and your general damages.

General damages may include:
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional and psychological distress
  • Loss of consortium
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Punitive damages

Our lawyers are dedicated to helping you get full, fair compensation for everything the injury has cost you.

We will deal with the insurance companies so you can focus on your recovery.

A Legacy Of Legal Excellence Since 1981

Our steadfast commitment to providing superior client services has earned us countless recognitions and honors, some of which are considered to be among the most prestigious in the legal community. From being named a Tier One Metro Area Personal Injury Law Firm by the U.S. News & World Report to being listed in the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers from 2015-2025, our firm has single-handedly earned accomplishments that less than 5% of the nation’s attorneys can attest to.
