Zachary S. Perecman

Zach Perecman has worked at The Perecman Firm since high school, as a file clerk, a paralegal, and now as a personal injury and construction accident lawyer who loves fighting and winning for his clients who were seriously injured in construction accidents, car crashes, premises incidents, and civil rights matters. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in all aspects of the firm’s legal work in representing its clients, as well as the management and marketing of the firm. He strives for perfection in his cases, always making himself available for his clients, and aggressively pursuing maximum compensation for their injuries. 

Zach regularly obtains multi-million-dollar settlements, has participated in jury trials to successful verdicts, and ranks among the state’s top attorneys by Super Lawyers Rising Stars (2018-2022) and Best Lawyers Ones To Watch (2020-2023). He handles all aspects of his clients’ cases including investigation, depositions and discovery, writing of motions and appeals, and trials.  Zach makes sure he always knows about any new case results and legislation that will help him to achieve outstanding results for his clients. Zach takes pride in his legal practice as well as the management and marketing of The Perecman Firm.

Some of Zach’s recent construction accident settlements include: $5,600,000 for a union concrete laborer struck by a falling scaffold, $4,300,000 for a union carpenter who fell from a scaffold, $3,200,000 for a union laborer who broke his ankle stepping on debris, $2,700,000 for a union asbestos worker who burned his hands, and $1,800,000 for a union concrete worker struck by a falling beam.

The first case he worked on after law school involved a woman who was wrongfully accused of murder and imprisoned on Rikers Island for 4 years. Zach was instrumental in convincing the highest court to hear the case and allow the trial to proceed against The City of New York, leading to a $4 million-dollar settlement.

Another significant moment in his career came in 2019 when he and David Perecman, Zach’s father and the firm’s founder and lead trial lawyer, secured a unanimous jury verdict resulting in a $5 million settlement in a premises liability case where their client slipped on water in his own bathroom and permanently injured his back.

Zach is a happy and devoted husband and dad. Outside of his legal practice, he loves to play guitar, sing, and ride his Peloton.
