Biography

Diana M.A. Carnemolla is a distinguished NYC personal injury lawyer and partner at Gair, Gair, Conason, Rubinowitz, Bloom, Hershenhorn, Steigman & Mackauf, a firm known for securing some of the highest verdicts and settlements in New York. Recognized as a Super Lawyer in the New York Metro area since 2016, Diana has dedicated her career to representing victims of serious personal injury, medical negligence, and motor vehicle collisions with compassion, precision, and relentless advocacy.

Diana Carnemolla is also fierce NYC car accident lawyer who has played a key role in securing landmark results. She served as second chair trial counsel in a record-setting $85 million jury verdict for a pedestrian struck by a bus in Manhattan—one of the highest personal injury verdicts in New York history. Her work has also led to multimillion-dollar settlements in cases involving wrongful death, labor law violations, medical malpractice, and catastrophic injury.

Diana’s achievements include:

  • $8.5 million for negligent fetal monitoring leading to birth injuries

  • $8.25 million for the wrongful death of a patient suffering an undiagnosed heart attack

  • $8 million in a fatal drunk driving crash involving the death of a pregnant woman

  • $4.9 million for a pedestrian struck in a crosswalk

  • $3.75 million in a failure-to-treat brain hemorrhage case

  • $3 million surfing school injury resulting in paralysis

Her work in car accident litigation earned her a spot on Forbes Advisor’s 2023 list of Best NYC Car Accident Lawyers, selected alongside other top trial attorneys through an independent research process.

Diana joined GGCRBHS&M in 1989 before attending law school at night while working full-time—a first in the firm’s century-long history. She rose through the ranks, becoming partner in 2010 and equity partner in 2016, one of only three women to ever hold that title at the firm.

Clients praise her unwavering support, empathy, and determination. As one former client shared, “Diana was always supportive and compassionate… She fought to the very end for what was right, which resulted in a settlement we never imagined could be achieved.”

A first-generation American, Diana brings a personal commitment to helping individuals navigate the legal system and obtain justice. Her fluency in complex litigation, combined with her dedication to client care, makes her one of New York’s most respected and trusted trial lawyers.
