Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

The Law Offices of Charles N. Rock is devoted to representing seriously injured people and their families. Experienced New York personal injury lawyer Charles Rock provides personal attention to every case we accept.

Attorney Charles Rock comes from a family of doctors. He began his legal career as a medical malpractice defense attorney, sharing the common misconception that there were too many lawsuits and too many frivolous ones.

He quickly realized that the quality care he received as the son of a physician in the community was very different from the care victims of malpractice received. His early assumptions were mistaken.

Today, much of Mr. Rock's law practice is devoted to truck crash accidents, chiropractic malpractice leading to stroke and lead poisoning, areas of law in which he has played a key role on the cutting edge of the latest developments.

Our main office is located in Newburgh, New York, near the intersection of interstates 84 and 87 and convenient to the Metro-North Railroad. We also have an office in the Bronx, and Mr. Rock frequently visits clients at their homes and hospitals and other accessible locations.

Practice Areas Description

We provide legal assistance on the following areas of practice:

- Truck Accidents

If you have been seriously injured in a truck crash — or if a loved one has been injured or killed — you want to know what to do. We can guide you through the process: getting full medical care, securing evidence and claiming fair compensation. Attorney Charles Rock has extensive experience helping clients recover personal injury and wrongful death compensation from trucking companies and others whose actions contributed to truck crashes. Put Charles Rock's experience to work for you.

- Chiropractic Malpractice

When people suffer strokes from vertebral artery dissection, due to chiropractic upper neck manipulations, they need an advocate to stand up for them. Chiropractors are not physicians but they still owe a duty to provide safe treatment to their patients and they must obtain the patient's permission after explaining the risks and benefits of the treatment they recommend, called "informed consent." Holding chiropractors accountable for malpractice requires a deep knowledge and understanding of anatomy, medicine and the chiropractic practices. At the Law Offices of Charles N. Rock in New York, we provide legal help nationwide to victims of chiropractic malpractice.

- Lead Poisoning

Ingestion of lead, even low levels, over time, causes serious health problems, especially in children but also in adults. Lead poisoning is usually caused by property owners who fail to protect their tenants and guests. The landlord's responsibility to his or her tenants is mandated by law. A landlord is responsible when he/she knows that a child six years of age or younger lives in an apartment - in a building constructed before the use of lead based paint was prohibited (generally before 1960 in New York) - where the landlord has a right to enter the apartment to make repairs - and where the landlord knows or should know of cracked and/or peeling paint. At the Law Offices of Charles N. Rock in New York, we help clients throughout the northeast U.S. pursue legal action against those responsible for lead poisoning.

- Nursing Home Negligence

Pursuing a legal claim for nursing home negligence can be complicated. Often, nursing homes are organized as a set of officially separate but basically related companies. Getting the actual responsible party to compensate you may require untangling these complex organizations. Attorney Charles Rock and our team are experienced at getting to the bottom of nursing home negligence cases and obtaining fair compensation for people who have been injured due to the failures of nursing home staff and management.

- Medical Malpractice

Attorney Charles Rock comes from a family of doctors and began his career working for a large medical malpractice defense firm. He quickly learned that not all patients receive the same level of care he was accustomed to seeing and became an advocate for injured patients.

There are several types of medical negligence that can cause serious, long-term injuries and even death. Among the most common are:

• Traumatic birth injuries
• Administration of dangerous drugs
• Failure to diagnose cancer or delay in diagnosing it
• Laparoscopic and other surgical errors

If you believe you may have suffered medical malpractice, it is important to contact a lawyer right away. Due to doctors' lobbying efforts, medical malpractice cases have the shortest statute of limitations under New York law.

Your case will need to be filed within two and a half years of the act of negligence or the last day of continuous treatment for the same condition. When it is filed, we will need to include an expert opinion from a doctor confirming that malpractice took place.

- Scaffolding Accidents

Our experienced construction accident and remodeling accident attorney understands the New York labor laws governing construction accidents, including New York Labor Law 240. If you have been seriously injured in a construction related accident, such as a scaffold accident, ladder accident, or hoist and pulley accident while performing construction or home remodeling, then you should talk to an experienced New York Labor Law 240 attorney. Under New York Labor Law 240, you may be entitled to compensation, even if you believe you may have contributed to the scaffold accident or are not sure how the scaffold accident occurred. Each client receives the highest level of personal service and each matter receives the highest level of personal attention. Our firm was designed to provide the quality legal representation each client deserves. We limit the number of cases we accept to ensure we are not overloaded with cases. We treat clients like we would want to be treated, which explains why we receive many referrals from other attorneys and satisfied clients.

- Product Liability

We have over 18 years of personal injury experience. Our firm limits the number of cases we handle to ensure each and every client receives the high level of personal service they demand and deserve. We are committed to protecting innocent consumers from harm, and provide vigorous representation in cases involving dangerous products. We work hard to obtain justice for our clients and to protect consumers from harm in the future.

- Auto Accidents

Our experienced auto accident attorney and staff have witnessed the devastation caused by an auto accident. We know the life-changing effects a catastrophic injury can have on the injured individual and their family. That is why our founder, Charles N. Rock elected to form this firm after spending years representing the interests of insurance companies in one of New York's larger firms. We handle cases other attorneys feel are too complex, and we have an excellent track record of success.
