Our Practice Areas

OUR FEATURED SERVICES

Premises Liability

Injuries on properties can include those from slip and fall accidents, exposure to hazardous substances, dog bites, drowning, electrocution, insufficient security, poor construction and fires. Common premises liability injuries include broken bones, spinal cord and neck injuries, head injuries, electric chocks, and burns.

Construction Accidents

Each year in the New York metropolitan area, thousands of people are seriously injured due to construction site accidents. Common accidents include falls from scaffolding, burns, crane accidents, electric shocks, exposure to hazardous materials, getting injured from malfunctioning equipment, or getting struck by falling stone, brick, or another heavy material.

Auto Accidents

Despite new technology and improvements in safety, automobile accidents remain one of the most common causes of serious injury and death in the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 2 million people were injured in car accidents in 2012, and more than 30,000 people died as a result of an automobile crash. Unfortunately, the number of people killed and injured each year is increasing.

Medical Malpractice

Medical negligence is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. – right after heart disease and cancer (JAMA, 2013). The negligence of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, hospitals, or nursing homes can cause what is known as medical malpractice – the case of a healthcare worker not providing what is recognized as the “standard of care” or what a reasonable healthcare provider would or would not do in the same or similar circumstances.

Police Brutality

Most police officers are committed to justice and protecting the communities they serve, and their jobs entail quite a bit of authority over other people’s actions and lives. As you know from news reports and other media, an abuse of this power can have very serious consequences for individuals and communities.

School Negligence

Parents and guardians should be able to trust that their children’s school is providing a nurturing, safe environment that promotes learning. They want their children to get cared for at school in a way that prevents harm and keeps them safe. Unfortunately, this is all too often not the case. Children suffer all kinds of injuries at school, such as accidents on the playground and in the school building, assaults, and abuse, including molestation.
