Cases We Handle

The types of cases we represent include: 

  • Car accidents – Motor vehicle accidents involving cars, trucks, SUVs, public transit, bicycles, and pedestrians are one of the most common types of personal injury. We find out what happened in the moments before the crash and ascribe liability where it’s due. Even if you were partially to blame for causing the accident, New York State allows you to collect a reduced portion of the total allowed. 
  • Child victims – Child molestation, pornography, exploitation, and trafficking are among the most heinous personal injury crimes. Through a legal guardian, minors can pursue damages for mental anguish and emotional pain.
  • Construction accidents – Worker’s compensation does not always cover 100% of the expenses when a person is injured at work, particularly when working with heavy machinery on a construction site. We fight for the maximum compensation that covers future expenses, as well as present hardship.
  • Environmental toxin exposure – Toxins are everywhere, but companies that disproportionately subject humans to exposure can be held liable. We are actively involved in litigation involving asbestos, lead, the CAPECO/Puerto Rico oil spill, DuPont C-8, the Zadroga Act, and Roundup weed killer.
  • Medical malpractice – Wrong diagnosis, missed diagnosis, medication errors, and surgical mishaps are all grounds to sue. Through our in-depth investigations, we discover what happened and why. Then we help form winning legal arguments against doctors, hospitals, and other medical service providers.
  • Premises liability – A slip, trip, and fall isn’t always what it seems. Often times, the property owner knew, or should have known, about a hazard on the property, but failed to take reasonable steps to mitigate the risk to others on the property. From wet supermarket floors to icy parking lots, property owners owe guests a standard of care to keep their sites free from harm.
  • Product liability – Manufacturers of consumer products, drugs, and medical devices owe consumers a standard “duty of care” that says their products are well-researched and tested to be safe for marketing and marketed accurately with appropriate warnings.
