Kyle Newman is a third-generation plaintiff's personal injury attorney who began practicing with his father, James Newman, upon graduating from Touro Law School in 2008. He is the senior associate at James Newman, P.C. and plays a prominent role in all cases from inception to resolution.

Kyle has devoted himself to becoming an accomplished trial attorney in the fields of personal injury and medical malpractice and has been selected for the past two years (2017, 2018) to the Super Lawyers Rising Star List, which recognizes the top 2.5% of all New York attorneys under 40 years old.

At only 25 years old and fresh out of law school Kyle was trying the first case of his career in Manhattan Supreme Court where he achieved a maximum jury verdict of $100,000.00 on behalf of a car accident victim.  This first victory would set the bar high for a near perfect trial record of over 50 jury verdicts in all five boroughs in cases ranging from medical malpractice, construction accidents, slip and falls, bus collisions, car accidents, wrongful arrest and assault & battery.

By his 30th birthday Kyle returned his first medical malpractice verdict of over one million dollars for a client who suffered near fatal injuries as a result of the malpractice of an orthopedic surgeon.  At the close of the nearly month long trial in Brooklyn Supreme Court the jury awarded a sum of $1,691,385.00, which was recognized as one of the highest verdicts for a medical malpractice action involving surgical errors and was featured in the New York Law Journal's November 2014 "Medical Malpractice Verdicts & Settlements Hall of Fame."

At age 34 Kyle returned his first verdict in excess of three million dollars for a 35-year old man left permanently disabled from a failed bilateral laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.  The plaintiff required two additional open hernia surgeries and was left with permanent ilioinguinal and genitofemoral nerve damage of the groin.  After a two-week trial in New York County Supreme Court against a top New York City defense firm the jury returned a verdict of $3,037,500.00, the largest of Kyle's career to date.

Notable other verdicts and settlements include:

$1,500,000.00 settlement in a wrongful death action involving a 40-year old mother of two who died as a result of a pulmonary embolism following a hysterectomy;

$1,500,000.00 settlement before trial in a medical malpractice action against a vascular surgeon who improperly performed sclerotherapy for varicose veins leading to an occluded artery of the foot, ischemia and gangrene necessitating partial foot and multiple toe amputation;

$500,000.00 trial verdict for husband and wife injured in a severe two-car motor vehicle accident.  They sustained soft tissue injuries and one of the plaintiff's underwent two arthroscopic surgeries;

$450,000.00 settlement at trial for a doorman at a luxury New York City apartment building who was assaulted by an intoxicated tenant;

Numerous other verdicts and settlements in excess of $100,000.00.

When he is not on trial you can find Kyle at the office working alongside his father and his younger brother Devin, his best friend and associate attorney at the firm.  When not in the office Kyle is always on the go meeting with clients, investigating accident locations, preparing with medical or engineering experts or attending mediations and arbitrations.

Kyle remains humbled by the trust and unwavering support of his father, which he considers the single greatest gift a young attorney and son could ask for.  Armed with the passion and determination to take on the most difficult of cases Kyle remains devoted to his clients and their families and will continue to fight for justice on behalf of those who have suffering devastating harms and loss.
