Areas of Practice
car accidents
When you have been involved in a car or truck accident, it is vital that you protect your rights as quickly as possible. You may be contacted by insurance companies trying to “low ball” you on your case. You also might not know that you may be entitled to free medical treatment. That’s where we come in, and advocate for your rights and counsel you through these confusing times.
boating and jet ski accidents
During the summer months, recreational boating areas can get highly congested with boaters, jet skiers, and fishermen. The likelihood of accidents are high during this time, especially when alcohol and multiple people are involved. We can help guide you through this process and make sure you are advised on the best course of action.
wrongful death accidents
Losing a loved one due to the negligence of another is tragic and devastating. It is difficult to navigate the difficulties that come with this, and holding the relevant parties accountable. We have experience in these terrible events and can help guide you through this process.
DEFECTIVE DRUGS AND DEVICES
Over the last 50 years, medications and medical implants have revolutionized the treatment of illness, injury, and disease. The things that modern medicine can accomplish seem like miracles. Unfortunately, not all medications and medical prosthesis are as safe. Over the last few decades, there have been significant problems with some medications and medical devices causing horrendous injuries, suffering and even death in patients.
slip/trip and fall accidents
If you have been injured on the property of another and the condition of the property was a factor to that injury, the owner or manager of that property may be responsible for your injuries. Property owners and managers have a duty to maintain and, if necessary, repair the property to ensure that it is safe. If you are injured as a result of the negligence of a property owner or manager, we can work to build a case against them, and hold them responsible.
construction site accidents
It is common in the construction industry for workers to be working with many different contractors that perform different specialized jobs at the same site. As a result, accident cases can usually be sued as personal injury claims, with or without a workers’ compensation claim, and certain contractors can be held responsible.
pedestrian and bicycle accidents
Long Island and New York City are both known to having heavy “foot traffic” and a large number of bicyclists. As a result, accidents and injuries are unfortunately common. There are special rights and privileges associated with these types of accidents, and we can make sure you take full advantage of them.
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Each year, an average of 17.3 medical malpractice claims are paid per 1,000 physicians in New York. Filing a medical malpractice lawsuit allows patients to receive compensation for damages caused by neglect from a healthcare professional. Settlements won from medical malpractice cases can help injured victims by paying for medical costs, lost wages from time spent out of work, corrective treatments and surgeries needed due to neglectful practices, and emotional pain and suffering. Consulting with a medical malpractice lawyer is essential for maximizing compensation, and ensuring that neglectful medical professionals are held accountable for failing to provide and uphold proper standards of care.
dog bites
There are many dog owners on Long Island and New York City. Most of these owners are responsible with their dogs. However, even the most responsible owner cannot control their dog, especially if it is a dog with vicious or aggressive tendencies. Whether the dog was beyond the control of their owner or the owner was being irresponsible, if you were injured as a result of this, we may be able to hold the owner accountable.
motorcycle accidents
Motorcycle accidents tend to produce severe injuries due to the lack of protection that a motorcycle affords to the driver. These injuries require very expensive hospital care and typically involve a long and difficult recovery process. We will make sure that you have access to the medical and financial resources that you will need to be able to begin your road to recovery.
Driving while intoxicated (DWI) Accidents
Unfortunately, Long Island and New York City are two of the most common regions for DWI convictions. Due to this, accidents resulting in serious injury, or even death, are common. We have experience in conducting thorough investigations regarding these occurrences and know the proper avenues in order to secure valuable evidence that could potentially be extremely valuable to your case.
WORKERS’ COMPENSATION
Workplace accidents are unfortunately very common. Lack of training, equipment or a facility that is not well maintained, and other similar circumstances can cause a worker to suffer an injury at the workplace. Injuries can be minor such as a cut, sprain or minor burn and they can also be severe such as a bone fracture, asthma, carpal tunnel syndrome or mesothelioma. Luckily, every person who works in New York State is eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. However, there may be obstacles in obtaining these benefits. This is why it is important to contact a knowledgeable and experienced attorney to help you through the process
