Practice Areas Description

Our practice includes:

- Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is the professional negligence committed by health care providers that causes death or injury due to a deviation from the accepted standard of medical care. Medical negligence cases have a high standard of proof. It is necessary to obtain legal counsel to help you successfully bring a medical malpractice lawsuit. The attorneys at Levine & Glassman are experienced medical malpractice trial lawyers who can evaluate your potential medical malpractice case.

- Women’s Healthcare

Women face a variety of specialized health issues such as diet, lifestyle, pregnancy and general health. Medical malpractice occurs a lot with women’s healthcare in the area of diagnosis and treatment. Hundreds of women are incorrectly or misdiagnosed when it comes to breast cancer and uterine cancer. Thousands of women experience misdiagnosis when it comes to birth defects and other prenatal conditions. It is important for these women to have an advocate to speak up for them because several complications could be avoided but for the negligence of health care professionals.

- Natal Care and Delivery

Prenatal care, labor and delivery are fraught with medical malpractice because there are so many instances for something to go wrong. A physician must be vigilant in order to catch problems with a developing fetus and at the same time the physician must monitor the mother for potential complications. It is especially heart wrenching when natal care negligence occurs because damage to a developing baby can have life-long consequences for both the baby and the parents.

- Dangerous Drugs

The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for ensuring that safe drugs are put out on the market. Drugs have to go through rigorous tests and clinical trials before they are considered fit for human consumptions. Even with all the testing, sometimes dangerous drugs get out to the general public. These drugs can cause serious health problems, disability and can even result in death.

- Defective and Dangerous Products

Product liability cases can be filed under general negligence, implied and/or express warranty and strict liability. Manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers of an item have the responsibility to make sure their products are not defective and/or unreasonably dangerous to the consumer. Examples of defective and dangerous products are cigarettes, processed foods if there is negligence in their production and things like toys and children’s car seats can have safety recalls for design defects.

- Motor Vehicle Accidents

Car accidents can result in disability, serious injury and death. The attorneys at Levine & Glassman have helped clients bring successful personal injury claims in Weston and surrounding areas. The lawyers strive to get compensation for lost income, mental anguish, property damage, medical treatment expenses, and other expenses that may arise as a result of a serious car accident.

- Catastrophic Injuries

A catastrophic injury is defined as an injury that impacts the victim’s ability to perform day-to-day functions in life. Catastrophic injuries can occur in a number of areas. Sometimes medical malpractice can cause the injuries, industrial accidents, car accidents and a number of other accidents due to negligence. It is necessary to get legal assistance immediately if you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury in the Weston and surrounding areas.

- Cauda Equina Syndrome

Cauda Equina Syndrome is a severe case of inflammation of the nerve endings in the lower back. There are a number of causes of cauda equine syndrome such as trauma, herniated discs, infectious diseases or medical malpractice can lead to cauda equine syndrome. Especially in the cases of trauma caused by car accidents, a doctor has to act quickly to make sure the nerves are not compressed and inflamed. Permanent nerve damage and paralysis can occur if the physician does not take steps to treat the early warning signs of Cauda Equina Syndrome.

- Wrongful Death

Wrongful death cases are typically complex as there are many variables involved. Contact Levine & Glassman, and one of our attorneys will evaluate your potential lawsuit, explain the process of pursuing a wrongful death claim, and answer any other questions you may have.

- Premises Liability

Property owners must make a reasonable effort to keep guests safe on their property. A property owner is in the best position to know if there are dangerous conditions on the property and to keep visitors safe from these hazards. Typically, it is the burden of the injured party to prove the property owner had actual or constructive notice of the dangerous condition. Contact the attorneys at Levine & Glassman if you have sustained injuries due to a negligent property owner.

- Cruise Ship Accidents

There are several accidents that can occur on a cruise ship from food poisoning, sexual assaults and even death. Most of the time, cruise ships do not advertise these mishaps because they want their future passengers to feel safe and secure going on the cruise ships. When people book a cruise, the contract often requires you to bring a lawsuit for personal injuries in a particular jurisdiction. The contract may also attempt to waive some of your rights. It is necessary to talk to a lawyer immediately after you have been injured on a cruise because you only have a limited time to file your claim before it is barred.

- Nursing Home Abuse

In Weston and across the United States, there is a shortage of skilled nurses. There are more and more incidents of nursing home abuse. If you suspect an elderly relative is being abused in a nursing home, there are steps you can take to make sure that your relatives are safe. Levine & Glassman handle a wide variety of nursing home abuse cases, and the attorneys can advise you about your rights under the law.

- Legal Malpractice

It is devastating enough when you suffer a personal injury, but it is a real tragedy when the lawyers misrepresent you in the personal injury case and as a result, you do not get any compensation. While the majority of attorneys handling injury cases are qualified, mistakes can occur which may prejudice a viable claim. If you have been represented by an attorney who has committed negligence in your personal injury claim, you might still be able to get compensated for your injury. The attorneys at Levine & Glassman can evaluate the error and, if appropriate, file a claim on your behalf.

- Dog Bites & Vicious Canine Attacks

If you have been the victim of a dog bite injury or attack by a vicious canine in Weston, call the attorneys at Levine & Glassman to see if you have a claim under negligence or strict liability.

- Workplace Accidents

In a workplace situation, there are often many people working in the same environment that must work quickly and safely together to ensure the work gets done and no one gets hurt. Many industries involve job sites that pose many potential dangers to workers, and employers are required to provide their employees with proper workplace safety and workers' compensation protection in the case of a workplace-related injury or condition. If you have been injured on the job in Weston, contact Levine & Glassman to see if we can help you with your claim.

In the most serious cases, the dog can cause serious bodily injury or even death.

- Defective Products

A defective product is defined as any product that causes injury or damage to a user as a result of a flaw in manufacturing, design, or labeling. If a manufacturer releases a product to the market that unreasonably injures a consumer, they are usually liable for the damages incurred by the user.

- Qui Tam / Whistleblower

Qui Tam cases are a special class of lawsuits filed on behalf of the government by private citizens for false claims or fraud. The private citizen or whistle blower usually finds out about the fraudulent practices before the government. The whistleblower is entitled to bring a case on his or her behalf and the government’s behalf due to the fraud committed by another individual or a company. False claims generally include not delivering goods that were sold, overcharging for goods or services, making false statements about the quality of a product, improperly testing a product or any other scheme that is designed to defraud the government. The attorneys of Levine & Glassman are fully-versed in personal injury law and can help you navigate a Qui Tam lawsuit. There are several steps and procedures that you need to follow in order for the government to take your Qui Tam lawsuit. You need an experienced Qui Tam lawyer to put together the best case for you so that the government will accept your claim and prosecute the case.

- Civil Rights Violations

Most often, a civil rights violation occurs when you are discriminated against in some manner or when one of your basic human rights is limited. Being denied the rights of assembly, free speech, religious freedom, or any of the other constitutional rights is considered a violation of your civil rights. Some of the most common civil rights lawsuits we at Levine & Glassman represent are Police Brutality / Excessive Force, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Claims, Discrimination Lawsuits, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Claims.
