Construction Accidents

Our construction accident attorneys fight for the rights of workers injured on the job, from scaffold injuries and falling objects to electrocution, explosions, and heavy equipment accidents.

Catastrophic Personal Injury Cases

Catastrophic injuries may be caused by medical malpractice, slip and falls, car accidents or workplace injuries. We have recovered over $100 million dollars for clients who have suffered from serious injuries.

Tractor Trailer Collisions

Negligence on the part of a trucker or trucking company can result in a devastating accident. We have an established record in ensuring that juries understand how a truck accident can impact a person's life.

Automobile Accidents

From whiplash and back injuries to traumatic brain injury and the loss of limbs, the consequences of reckless or distracted driving for the victim can be seriously and permanently debilitating.

Medical Malpractice Cases

Medical malpractice lawsuits are complex, often requiring expert witnesses and medical knowledge. We have the resources needed to perform a full investigation of even the most complicated malpractice claim.

Wrongful Death Actions

When the negligent acts of a person or entity result in an individual's death, New York law provides the family members of the deceased with the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit to recover compensation.

Negligent Security Cases

New York building owners have a duty to provide reasonable security to people on their property. When the failure to provide security results in assault or injury, there may be grounds for a negligent security lawsuit.

Motorcycle Accidents

Our attorneys are dedicated to protecting the rights of motorcyclists who have been injured. We achieved a $14,000,000 verdict for a badly injured biker in Nassau County who was accused of riding negligently.

Public Transportation Accidents

When a resident or tourist is injured in a New York subway, bus, cab or train accident, they may have legal recourse to recover compensation for damages from the transportation authority responsible for the accident.

Birth Injuries

Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals are required to meet a certain standard of care during labor and delivery to prevent harm to the child and mother. When they fail to uphold this duty to provide reasonable care, and an injury results, the family may be able to file a New York birth injury lawsuit.

Brain Injuries

Our attorneys are dedicated to protecting the rights of brain injury victims who were harmed as a result of another's negligence. Our New York brain injury attorneys recovered more than $32 million for a good samaritan who was hit by a vehicle while helping accident victims at an unrelated motor vehicle collision, suffering severe trauma to the head.

Premises Liability

Premises liability accidents, including slip and falls and swimming pool drownings, can result from improper maintenance, inadequate supervision, lack of proper security measures and other forms of negligence. In these cases, New York premises liability law may provide the injured party with legal recourse.

Defective Products

Recalled drugs, faulty medical devices and defective products can cause serious harm to consumers. Those who have been injured as a result of a defective product may be able to file a claim against the manufacturer or others involved in the chain of commerce.
