Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Catastrophic Injury

Individuals and companies that negligently cause innocent people to suffer catastrophic injuries deserve to be held accountable. The process of actually holding them accountable, however, often requires experience and resources that many law firms simply do not have.


- Brain Injury
A brain injury can have a major impact on your quality of life, relationships with others and ability to perform day-to-day tasks. If you or someone in your family has suffered a brain injury due to someone else's negligence, you deserve an opportunity to hold the responsible party accountable.


- Cerebral Palsy

Children with cerebral palsy face a lifetime of challenges. While the causes of cerebral palsy can sometimes be hard to detect, many instances of this condition are caused by circumstances that could have been avoided if a doctor, nurse or someone else had taken greater precautions.


- Spinal Cord Injury

The spinal cord is one of the most complex parts of the human body, conveying information back and forth between the brain and most of the other organs. Any amount of damage to the spinal cord can have serious consequences, including permanent disability and death.


- Paralysis

Permanent paralysis — in the form of quadriplegia, paraplegia or monoplegia — is one of the most serious consequences an accident victim can suffer. The process of getting fairly compensated for a paralytic condition can be extremely difficult and complicated.


- Amputation Injury

If you have lost a limb due to someone else's negligence, you deserve an opportunity to hold the responsible party accountable and seek full compensation for the lifetime of consequences imposed upon you. An experienced trial lawyer can help you pursue the results you deserve.


- Eye Injury

Complete or partial loss of vision is a severe injury with permanent consequences. If an accident or illness caused by someone else's negligence or medical malpractice has left you blind in one or both eyes, you deserve an opportunity to pursue fair compensation for the harm done to you.


- Coma

If your spouse, child or other family member has fallen into a coma or persistent vegetative state, you need all the help you can get to ensure that he or she receives the best care to avoid needless suffering. If your loved one's injury was caused by someone else's negligence, you may have a legal claim.

- Wrongful Death

The loss of someone close to you is always a tragic situation. It can be even more tragic when you learn that things could have gone differently if a driver, a doctor, a nurse, a general contractor or someone else had simply taken reasonable steps to avoid causing harm.


- Medical Malpractice

Doctors, hospitals and other medical providers have people's lives in their hands, and that gives them a responsibility, not only to avoid injuring their patients, but also to treat them with adequate care and diligence. Their failure to do so is considered medical malpractice.


- Birth Injury

Doctors and nurses who take on the responsibility of bringing children into the world owe it to those children and their parents to take the utmost care to avoid birth injuries. Unfortunately, in some cases, medical professionals neglect their duties, and children get injured as a result.


- Misdiagnosis

The diagnosis of disease is one of the most important aspects of the medical profession. The timing of a diagnosis can affect the amount of harm suffered by a patient before he or she begins treatment. Ultimately, it can mean the difference between life and death.


- Infection

Infection is one of the leading causes of death in American hospitals. Any doctor who treats a patient who is at risk of infection needs to take reasonable steps to determine whether that patient has become septic. A failure to do so may be medical malpractice.


- Meningitis

Meningitis is a medical emergency that must be treated promptly to avoid long-term and potentially fatal consequences. Unfortunately, some doctors and hospitals wait too long before giving meningitis patients the treatment they so desperately need.


- Medication Error

Modern medical science has developed medications that can do amazing things, but many of these drugs also have serious risks associated with them. Doctors, nurses, pharmacists and hospitals all have a role to play in making sure medications are administered properly and safely.


- Erbs Palsy

During childbirth, the brachial plexus — the nerve system leading to the shoulders, arms and hands — is particularly vulnerable to injury. There are steps that doctors and nurses can and should take to reduce the risk of Erb's palsy and other consequences of brachial plexus injury.


- Fetal Distress

Modern medical science has developed advanced electronic fetal monitoring techniques in order to detect any signs of trouble that may affect a fetus before or during delivery. These devices, however, are only as effective as the medical professionals who use them.


- Cytotec Side Effect

The drug misoprostol — distributed under the brand name Cytotec — is widely used to induce labor despite known risks of uterine rupture, hemorrhage, amniotic fluid embolism and other serious consequences. Doctors who misuse Cytotec in this way deserve to be held accountable.


- Delivery Complication

While modern medicine has made childbirth safe in almost all cases, there are still emergencies that can threaten both mothers and children. Obstetricians and nurses have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to identify these emergencies and respond to them effectively.


- Nursing Home Abuse

The decision to place a parent, spouse or other family member in a nursing home is never an easy one. You have a right to expect that when you make this decision, the facility you choose will follow through on its commitments by providing adequate care for your loved one.


- Nursing Home Bedsore

Anyone who is bedridden all or most of the time is at risk of developing decubitus ulcers, also known as bedsores. Nursing homes have a responsibility to take basic steps to prevent and treat bedsores, and when they fail to do so, they can be held accountable for the consequences.


- Nursing Home Malnutrition

Adequate food and water are among the most basic human needs. They are also among the basic responsibilities that nursing homes owe to their residents. When facilities and their employees neglect these responsibilities, they can be held accountable for the results.


- Compensation for Poor Nursing Home Care

New York has responded to public concerns about nursing home abuse and neglect by passing a special law to protect nursing home residents. This law, among other things, increases the damages residents and their families can receive in personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits.


- Motor Vehicle Accident

There are many law firms out there that can help people obtain settlements for relatively minor car accident injuries. However, there are very few attorneys with the experience and resources to win maximum compensation for clients who have suffered life-changing injuries.


- Truck Accident

If you have suffered a permanent, life-changing injury or have lost a loved one in an accident involving an 18-wheeler or other commercial truck, you need a lawyer with the experience and resources to diligently pursue the maximum compensation you are legally entitled to.


- Motorcycle Accident

Motorcyclists have a right to expect that they will be treated safely and respectfully by other drivers. Unfortunately, some irresponsible drivers do not pay enough attention to what is going on around them to avoid causing accidents in which motorcyclists get seriously injured.


- No-Fault Insurance Law

In theory, New York's no-fault insurance law makes it easier for people who have been in auto accidents to get medical and lost-wage benefits. But if your accident was caused by someone else's negligence, the law may make it harder for you to get the compensation you deserve.


- Construction Site Fall

Falls are one of the most common, and one of the most preventable, causes of serious injuries and fatalities on construction sites. If you have been injured or have lost a loved one in a construction site fall, you deserve an opportunity to hold the responsible parties accountable.


- Falling Object Injury

Property owners and general contractors involved in construction projects have a responsibility to take reasonable safety measures to protect workers from the serious injuries that can be caused by falling objects. When they fail to do so and workers get hurt as a result, they can be held accountable.


- Scaffolding Accident

Construction workers who are required to work on scaffolds, on ladders or at heights have every right to expect that they will be provided with adequate safety equipment and training to minimize the risk of serious, potentially fatal falls.


- Chemical Spill Accident

Chemical spills can result in serious injuries, including chemical burns and toxic exposure. If you have been injured as a result of a chemical spill in the workplace, you owe it to yourself to explore all possible sources of compensation for the harm that has been done to you.

- Workers' Compensation

Many people believe that if they are injured at work, they are limited to whatever money and benefits they can get from the workers' compensation system. In many cases, however, injured workers are able to obtain additional compensation by bringing personal injury claims.
