Motor Vehicle Accidents
Whether a driver, passenger, or pedestrian, an injured party may be entitled to recover financial compensation for qualifying injuries, including past and future lost income, medical expenses, pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. Whether injuries arise from an intersection collision, hit in the rear, municipal bus accident, commercial vehicle collision, pedestrian knockdown or even an accident with an emergency vehicle, the Firm can assist in securing the fair compensation to which those injured may be entitled. Prompt consultation with the Firm’s experienced litigators, before speaking with an insurance adjuster or investigator for the driver whose negligence may have caused injury, may be the key to protecting oneself and one’s family.
Premises Liability
When one is injured on another’s property or a public sidewalk because of a dangerous condition, the responsible party may be liable for monetary damages. The failure of those owning or operating premises to correct or warn those lawfully on their property concerning a dangerous condition may be the basis to hold them responsible. At the Firm, our attorneys possess the knowledge and experience in personal injury premises liability cases to evaluate the merits of your claim and secure the compensation to which those injured may be entitled under the law.
Construction Accidents
Construction sites present multiple safety hazards to workers and others on or near the worksite. When injuries occur because of the violation of health and safety rules and regulations, inadequate equipment, lack of supervision, inadequate training or other negligence, monetary compensation may be available for injuries, lost income, pain, and suffering, even to those already receiving workers compensation benefits. Our team of attorneys have successfully litigated construction site accident cases of all kinds including scaffolding, ladders, crane operation, faulty equipment, construction debris and welding. Speaking to an attorney experienced in construction accidents and labor law claims can make a difference in discovering whether you have a viable claim for injuries sustained on or near a construction site.
Wrongful Death
When the death of a loved one occurs in an accident, there may be monetary damages available for the conscious pain and suffering of a loved one, and for the economic loss sustained by those who depended upon that loved one. At the Firm, we realize that this involves a combination of compassion and determination. Our attorneys have the knowledge and experience to guide clients through a claim for wrongful death so that they and those entitled to recover on behalf of the estate receive fair compensation for their loss.
Medical Malpractice/Nursing Home Liability
Determining whether a patient has been a victim of medical malpractice or nursing home neglect or abuse is a difficult undertaking. Our experienced attorneys are available to guide clients through the process. Those who have experienced, or have loved ones who have experienced, an unanticipated, adverse outcome from medical care, suspect nursing home neglect or abuse should speak with a knowledgeable and experienced attorney to determine their rights and remedies, including whether they or their loved ones have a potentially viable claim for medical malpractice or nursing home neglect.
Firefighter and Police Claims
Firefighters and Police in New York State enjoy special protections under General Municipal Law 205 for injuries sustained in the line of duty due to a violation of law, even against their own municipal employer. Members of New York’s uniformed services who are injured in the line of duty should speak with an attorney who has experience in representing firefighters and police officers in claims for personal injuries sustained in the line of duty. At the Firm, our knowledgeable and experienced attorneys routinely assist first responders when they may have a claim against those whose negligence caused an accident or whose violation of statute entitles those in uniform to the special protections afforded them under General Municipal Law 205-a (Firefighters) or General Municipal Law 205-e (Police).
