Under New York
State Law, if you’ve been injured as a result of the
negligence of another party, you may be entitled to
compensatory damages for your conscious pain and suffering,
loss of enjoyment of life, lost wages, etc. Below is a
sampling of the types of cases we handle.
Auto Accidents
They can be
simple, they can be complex. They can be an inconvenience,
they can be devastating. Regardless of the severity of the
accident, there are rules and regulations that must be
promptly complied with in order to protect your rights. We
can handle all of your needs, including your no-fault
insurance questions. Hopefully, you’ll never have an
accident. But just in case you do, make sure you have
adequate underinsured motorist coverage on your vehicle to
protect yourself from the negligence of an underinsured or
uninsured driver.
Construction Site
Accidents
Often times in
a contractor’s haste to complete a job on schedule, worker
safety is disregarded. The law in New York is designed to
protect construction site workers from this very situation
and can be very demanding of the owner of the property as
well as the general contractor engaged on the project. Many
work site accidents can, and would be, avoided if the proper
safety precautions were taken by those responsible for them.
Prompt and thorough investigation is important. Call us so
we can get started to work for you.
Medical Malpractice
Medical
malpractice is simply a phrase to describe negligence
committed by a medical professional while providing medical
services. There are no guarantees in medicine and a bad
result in and of itself does not constitute malpractice.
However, a bad result that is occasioned by the negligence
of a medical provider may constitute malpractice. We will
review your history and medical records, obtain an expert
medical opinion and advise you of your rights. We will
provide you with the answers to your questions.
Products Liability
If you’ve been
injured while working with machinery, you may have a claim
against the manufacturer of the machine. Many pieces of
equipment require appropriate safeguards to prevent
foreseeable injuries form occurring. If the manufacturer has
neglected to place the safeguard or provide appropriate
warnings to safeguard against injury, you may have a viable
claim. Let us investigate the accident, the type of machine,
the manufacturer and the relevant industry standards. We can
then advise you with regard to your rights, including any
issues relating to workers’ compensation.
