Practice Areas Description

- Personal Injury

When you are injured as a result of someone else's negligence, carelessness, mistake, or intentional action, you may have a valid personal injury claim for compensation. Personal injury refers to any injury to a person, physical or mental, including a broken bone, a cut, post-traumatic stress disorder, paralysis, or death which occurs as a result of someone else's negligence. When a family member is injured or killed as a result of the negligence of another, the injured person or the surviving children, parents, or siblings, have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit seeking compensation for that loss.

- Medical Malpractice and Hospital Negligence

We put our trust, our health and often our lives in the hands of doctors and nurses. Unfortunately, a doctor may fail to diagnose a condition in time to treat it or a hospital employee may make a mistake that results in injury or death to a patient. If the medical professional failed to maintain the accepted professional standard of care, it constitutes medical malpractice.

- Car Accident Injury

If you or a loved one has been injured in a bus, truck or car accident, you may be able to recover medical expenses, lost wages and other losses you suffered.

It is extremely important to have well-qualified legal advice before signing an insurance release or making a statement to an insurance company representative. At the Brooklyn, New York, law firm of Lozner & Mastropietro, we have represented clients in motor vehicle accident cases since 1996. We offer the skill and experience needed to secure maximum compensation.

- Motorcycle Accidents

Fatal motorcycle accidents have been on the rise for several years. Because a motorcycle rider has much less protection, motorcycle accidents have a much higher incidence of death and serious injury per accident than car accidents. Because of their size, motorcycles are often not seen by automobile drivers, particularly bus and truck drivers. Dangerous road conditions also affect motorcyclists much more than automobile drivers.

- Serious Injuries

At Lozner & Mastropietro, in Brooklyn, New York, we handle serious injury claims for clients involved in motor vehicle accidents, airplane accidents, construction accidents and all other accidents caused by the negligence or recklessness of another. The comprehensive skill and collective experience of our personal injury trial attorneys has enabled our firm to recover millions of dollars in compensation for accident victims suffering from serious and disabling injuries.

- Construction and Work Site Accidents

Attorneys at our Brooklyn firm, Lozner & Mastropietro, are committed to helping workers injured on construction sites and other worksites recover the compensation they need to take care of themselves and their families. Although workers compensation benefits cover some medical expenses and lost wages for an on-the-job injury, they often fail to compensate the employee fully for the loss.

- Assault and Negligent Security

It is a sad fact of life that people are assaulted and attacked each day in their homes, workplaces and hotels. The criminal justice system may put the criminal behind bars but it does not compensate the victim for losses due to injury. The civil justice system however allows the victim or the victim's surviving family to sue for compensation from the attacker and anyone else responsible for the victim's injuries. If you were injured or lost a family member in an assault and would like to speak with a lawyer from our Brooklyn personal injury firm, please contact our office to make arrangements for a complimentary consultation.

- Dog Attacks

Attorneys at our Brooklyn firm help dog bite victims recover compensation for the trauma, scarring, nerve and muscle damage, and other medical and psychological problems that follow a dog attack. In New York, dog owners and handlers are subject to absolute liability – if the dog bites, the owner is responsible. If you, your child or your dog was the victim of a dog attack and you would like to discuss a possible claim, please call our office and arrange for a complimentary consultation with one of our lawyers.

- Slip, Trip and Fall Accidents

Trip, slip and fall accidents are common, particularly in New York City, where potholes, broken sidewalks, dangerous stairwells, ice, snow and other slick conditions are common hazards. If you were injured in a slip or trip and fall on someone else's residential or business property, you may have a claim if that property had a defective surface, a slippery substance or other dangerous condition that caused the fall. This is called premises liability. These injuries most commonly occur at restaurants, supermarkets, stores and on sidewalks. You may also pursue a claim for injuries against a state, city or other government entity if your accident occurred on government-controlled property such as a bus stop, subway station or housing development (see Municipal Liability). A homeowner insurance policy may pay damages for a dog bite or swimming pool accident victim.

- Wrongful Death

Any unexpected death is tragic and may leave a family struggling with feelings of anguish, uncertainty and anger. Unfortunately, a family may also struggle with the financial consequences of loss of support and medical bills. If your loved one died as a result of someone else's negligence, recklessness or malice, your family has a right to compensation for the tragic loss under New York laws regarding wrongful death.

- Product Liability and Defective Products FAQ

Product liability means the liability or responsibility of manufacturers, distributors and sellers for injuries or death caused by the use of a defective product. The products can range from the most complicated machinery such as motor vehicles or airplanes, to common household items such as home appliances, childrens toys and baby highchairs.

- Failure to Diagnose Cancer

The failure to diagnose cancer in time for a successful treatment can result in permanent injury or death. If this happened to you or a member of your family, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit.

- Workers' Compensation

Construction, demolition, excavation and manufacturing work sites are some of the most dangerous working conditions facing workers today. Serious and catastrophic work-related injuries at these work sites occur with an unfortunate frequency.
If you were injured in a workplace accident, your employer must provide insurance coverage called Workers' Compensation or "workers' comp". Workers' comp is designed to pay your medical bills and partly replace your lost income when you are unable to return to work. Part-time jobs and independent contractors are generally covered. It may not matter that you caused the accident in which you were injured since workers' compensation benefits are awarded regardless of fault.

- Birth Injuries

If your baby was injured during childbirth or during prenatal care, and you are wondering how to provide care for your child following a disabling birth injury, you may be angry and confused. You should not accept the explanations or excuses offered by your doctors or hospital staff. Instead, you should consult an experienced medical malpractice lawyer as soon as you suspect there is a problem.

- Airline Accidents

Attorneys at our Brooklyn, New York, law firm, Lozner & Mastropietro, have extensive experience in handling complex and difficult personal injury cases that follow plane crashes, helping victims and, in cases of fatal airline accidents, their families, recover fair compensation. If you would like to speak with one of our lawyers about a claim related to a plane crash, please contact our Kings County office and make arrangements for a complimentary consultation.
