Practice Areas Description

- Aviation Accidents

Injuries from airplane accidents are almost always serious. If you or a loved one has been injured in an aviation accident, a personal injury lawyer experienced in litigating both serious injuries and airplane accidents can help you obtain the financial compensation you deserve. The personal injury law firm of Robert A. Solomon, P.C. has won substantial awards for victims of plane crashes. In one case, a commercial jet crashed due to lack of fuel. We alleged that better handling of the situation in the air and on the ground could have prevented the accident. Seventy-three people were killed and 85 were injured, including our client and our client's son. We sued the airline for over $200 million to compensate our client and our client's family for pain and suffering, loss of income and punitive damages.


- Car Accidents

Compensation for injuries suffered from car accidents largely involve two issues: evaluation of injuries and insurance law. If your attorney is unfamiliar with all aspects of insurance no-fault and coverage laws, or is inexperienced in documenting your injuries and your injuries' causes, your case can suffer as a result. At the personal injury law firm of Robert A. Solomon, P.C., we have developed our car accident litigation skills over 28 years, and have successfully recovered awards for thousands of car and truck accident victims.


- Uninsured / Underinsured Motorists

An auto accident involving an uninsured or underinsured motorist is often more complex than one involving fully insured drivers. If you have been injured in an accident involving a driver with little or no insurance, you can seek compensation through your own uninsured / underinsured motorist coverage.


- Vehicle Rollover

When you are on the road, nothing is scarier than losing control of your vehicle. If you have been in a rollover accident, you know this feeling, and now you face the equally serious challenge of protecting yourself. The injuries suffered in rollover accident tend to be serious and long-lasting, especially when seatbelts were not used.


- Tire Failure

You rely on every part of your car to work properly and keep the people you love safe. Tire failure can cause loss of vehicle control and cause both single-car and multiple-car accidents. You can take action, get the compensation you deserve, and hold the manufacturer accountable. For over twenty-eight years, the attorneys at Robert A. Solomon, P.C. have been protecting the rights of New York and New Jersey personal injury victims whose accidents were caused by tire failure. We have handled thousands of car and truck accident cases involving auto defects.


- Drunk Driving

Drinking and driving is an unfortunate and costly choice far too many people make. Tragically, these poor decisions can lead to loss of life when the impaired driver causes a car accident. If you've been the victim or lost a loved one due to a New York & New Jersey drunk driving auto accident, you need someone on your side to help you navigate the legal system. Let that someone be a New York & New Jersey drunk driving injury lawyer from Robert A. Solomon, P.C. We understand the hardship and uncertainty you're facing as a result of the accident, and we're ready to help you get compensated for the pain, suffering, and injuries you're enduring.


- Pedestrian Accidents

In a pedestrian accident, the automobile always wins. If you have been struck by a car, truck, or other vehicle, you have rights as a pedestrian. Whether it was a hit and run accident or the driver stayed to give you insurance information, it is up to you to take action and make sure you get the medical help you need and financial compensation you deserve.


- Motorcycle Accidents

Do you need the help of a New York & New Jersey motorcycle accident attorney? Robert A. Solomon, P.C. has over 28 years of experience successfully representing people who have been injured due to someone else's negligence. Our New York & New Jersey personal injury lawyers have successfully helped many victims of motorcycle injuries in New York & New Jersey over the years.


- School Bus Accidents

The New York & New Jersey school bus accident attorneys of Robert A. Solomon, P.C. will perform a thorough investigation of the factors contributing to the school bus accident to better understand who should be held liable. You may be able to file a claim against the bus company to recover for your damages. If you were a passenger on a bus that was involved in an accident, the bus company, whether public or private, owes you the "utmost duty of care" associated with being a common carrier. This "duty of utmost care" is higher than the negligence duty owed by the bus company to drivers of other vehicles and pedestrians.


- Railroad Accidents

Many railroad accidents occur each year in New York & New Jersey, often with devastating results. At the law office of Robert A. Solomon, P.C., we will thoroughly investigate the facts surrounding the accident to determine how the accident happened and who is at fault. Railroad accidents cases involve complex laws and regulations. At Robert A. Solomon, P.C., we understand the regulations and can help you whether you live in New York or New Jersey.


- Construction Accidents

Construction accidents can cause confusion for the victim and the victim's family. Workers' compensation benefits are usually readily available and often cover all needed medical care and income needs. The question arises — if I am receiving workers' compensation benefits, am I eligible for further compensation? And from whom? At the construction accident law firm of Robert A. Solomon, P.C., we can answer your questions and provide you with effective legal representation.


- Scaffolding Accidents

When you are working with scaffolding, the smallest mistake can cause serious accidents and lead to major injuries. While workers' compensation will cover your medical benefits, you may be eligible for further compensation by filing a personal injury claim after your scaffolding accident.


- Unsafe Equipment

Construction sites are dangerous enough when everything goes according to plan. If you have been injured while using defective or unsafe equipment, you may be entitled to compensation beyond your workers' compensation benefits. An experienced lawyer can help you understand your options.


- OSHA Violations

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration sets up rules and regulations to protect all workers. When contractors, subcontractors, and property owners violate OSHA guidelines and you get hurt, you may be eligible for financial compensation beyond your workers' comp benefits.


- Nursing Home Negligence

When we entrust a nursing home or other long-term care facility with the care of our elder family members and other loved ones, we expect, and our loved ones deserve, excellent and attentive care. When nursing homes fail to follow guidelines, and when staff members break care and abuse laws in place to protect nursing home residents, serious injury can result.


- Bed Sores

There are so many little things that can go wrong for a loved one in a nursing home. You have to keep a careful eye on things like bed sores, which may sound like a minor problem, but can become serious issues very quickly. If your loved one has developed bed sores or pressure ulcers, they are likely not getting the excellent and attentive care they deserve and rightfully expect.


- Elopement and Failure to Restrain

If your loved one was able to take care of themselves properly, they would not have to live in a nursing home. It is the responsibility of nursing homes and similar facilities to monitor patients and provide them with the safest possible environment. The failure to restrain patients can lead to dangerous wandering and elopement, and potentially dangerous injuries.


- Malnutrition and Dehydration

A nursing home is supposed to be a safe environment where residents are provided with a safe facility in which to live. When basic standards of living are not met, you and your family have every right to take action. There is no excuse for malnutrition or dehydration in a nursing home, but major oversights by negligent staff can lead to these conditions and cause serious personal injuries.


- Physical Abuse

Sometimes a nursing home injury is more than just an accident or a case of negligence. If your loved one suffered a nursing home injury as the victim of physical abuse, it is abundantly clear that they have not received the excellent and attentive care they deserve. Your family has every right to take action, get proper medical care, and seek just compensation.


- Products Liability

When manufacturers design and build tools, machines and other equipment, they need to produce items that provide the function they are purported to do, and need to turn a profit for the manufacturer. They also need to produce a product that is safe to operate each time it is used. Unfortunately, products are often dangerous to use; malfunction, injuring the user in the process; or becoming unsafe after malfunctioning, leading to a later injury. If you have been injured at home, on the job or elsewhere while using an unsafe product, contact the product liability law firm of Robert A. Solomon, P.C.


- Truck Accidents

Drivers and owners of large trucks have a unique responsibility to those with whom they share the road. When accidents occur between a large truck and a car, motorcycle, or light truck, truckers have a significant safety advantage. Large trucks' size often means the other driver suffers a disproportionate level of injury.


- Tractor-Trailer Accidents

In the Unites States, our highways represent the backbone of industrial America. And while this is good for the economy, it can be a nightmare for drivers who are forced to navigate one of the most highly congested avenues of tractor trailers in the nation. Robert A. Solomon, P.C. knows all too well how true this is.


- Boating Accidents

When fun in the sun on the family boat turns from good to bad because of the carelessness of other New York & New Jersey boaters, you need somewhere to turn to get your questions answered.

With over 28 years of successful personal injury litigation, our New York & New Jersey personal injury lawyers know the ins and outs of handling boating accident claims and are dedicated to serving every client with compassion, respect, and understanding.

- Catastrophic Injuries

The New York & New Jersey spinal cord injury and brain injury lawyers at Robert A. Solomon, P.C. have extensive experience in gauging the full costs of current and future needs for victims of catastrophic injuries. We have obtained substantial settlements and jury verdicts in personal injury litigation and negotiation for clients. We consult with top medical experts and planners to develop a life care plan for victims of spine injury, head injury, severe burns, vision loss, lost limbs, paralysis, and all forms of major, life-changing injury. We account for future medical treatment and personal care, medical equipment and transportation, loss of income potential, and compensatory damages for loss of enjoyment. Our spinal cord injury attorneys work closely with victims and their doctors to ensure that they receive only the total compensation required for a lifelong injury.


- Brain Injuries

Brain damage is among the most tragic injuries a person can experience. Brain injuries typically result in comas, and even those who remain conscious can suffer serious physical, psychological, and cognitive disabilities. If a brain injury is caused by an accident, whether from an auto accident, medical malpractice, or another instance of negligence, a lawsuit can recover the money that the family of the sufferer needs for treatment and lost wages.


- Head Injuries

When a person's negligence causes a traumatic head injury in New York & New Jersey, the victim and the family of the injury victim needs and deserves compensation. The attorneys of Robert A. Solomon, P.C. have more than 28 years of experience helping families get the money they are entitled to. Our lawyers have provided more information about their practice on our main brain injuries page; for more general legal information, read the following.


- Spinal Cord Injuries

Robert A. Solomon, P.C. has aided the victims and families of accident victims who have suffered the devastating injury of permanent damage to their spinal cord. We are not "fast settlement" lawyers. We take extra care to ensure that clients with catastrophic injuries receive the total compensation they will need.


- Medical Malpractice

Robert A. Solomon, P.C. has the experience to know that medical malpractice or medical negligence takes many forms. But the common thread is that the people trusted to care for the patient are responsible for serious harm that could have been avoided.


- Bikini Wax Dangers

In recent years, the popularity of the Brazilian bikini wax has soared in the United States. While many men and women flock to have this cosmetic procedure performed, what many do not realize is that it carries some potentially serious health risks.


- Commercial Premises Liability

Business owners have a duty to maintain their property in a manner that does not threaten the safety of clients, visitors, or passerbys. If you have been injured due to property owner negligence in a shopping center, grocery store, or any other commercial establishment, talk to an attorney to determine if you have a premises liability claim.


- Residential Premises Liability

If you have suffered an injury due to property owner negligence, you may have a premises liability claim. Residential premises liability laws differ between New York and New Jersey, and home owners in each state hold different levels of responsibility for accidents that happen on their property.


- Birth Injury

When you contact Robert A. Solomon, P.C., you will speak directly with a New York & New Jersey birth injury lawyer (attorney) that specializes in handling birth injury cases throughout New York & New Jersey. If you are in need of a New York & New Jersey birth injury lawyer (attorney) who is a birth injury law expert, we will travel to you immediately. An experienced personal injury law firm, such as Robert A. Solomon, P.C., should be consulted if you suspect that birth injuries were caused by medical negligence. The attorney should be consulted immediately after birth, even if all the injuries and damages are not yet known. There is a chance that medical malpractice could be the cause. In most of the 10,000 diagnoses each year, the direct causes for the birth injury will never be known.


- Erb's Palsy

Erb's Palsy (also called Brachial Plexus palsy, Erb-Duchenne Palsy, Torticollis and Shoulder Dystocia) is a nerve injury that results from damage to the brachial plexus nerves. These are a series of nerves that travel from the spinal cord into the arm. Erb's Palsy effects the movement of a child's shoulder, arm and hand. The injury occurs during birth when the delivering physician exerts excessive force on the baby's head and neck during a vaginal birth. The resulting damage leaves the child with little or no movement in the arm, hand or fingers. Additionally, strength and size of the arm may be affected. This can have devastating consequences throughout the child's life. Many babies with Erb's Palsy injuries are larger than average at birth. However, newborns of all sizes, including premature babies, can have these injuries. Erb's Palsy occurs in about 1 or 2 babies in 1,000 at birth. Many doctors believe Erb's Palsy should never occur. It is for that reason you should contact the personal injury law firm of Robert A. Solomon, P.C. if you have a child diagnosed with Erb's Palsy.


- Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy caused by a birth accident is an insidious condition. Often, parents do not realize a problem exists until their child is 1 or 2 years old. Early symptoms are often a child's inability to hold a bottle or hold his or her head up, or to learn to walk within a customary timeframe.


- Breast Cancer

Through diligent activism, breast cancer awareness groups have succeeded in raising public awareness of the high rate of breast cancer, and have raised billions of dollars in support of treatment and the search for cures and prevention. Unfortunately, awareness of medical malpractice and its contribution to breast cancer is less well-known.


- Objects Left Behind

Going through surgery can be a nerve-racking experience. You know you are doing what is best for your health, but it still requires you to put complete faith in your surgeon and his or her team. You rightfully expect that they will do everything in their power to make you as healthy as possible. There is absolutely no excuse for any surgeon to leave behind a foreign object, jeopardizing your surgery and your overall health.


- Failure to Diagnose

It is hard to foresee all the medical problems you are going to encounter in your life. That is why you have a doctor. It is the job of your physician to help you through any difficulties you may be experiencing and take proper preventative measures for any medical concerns that you are likely to encounter. The failure to diagnose a disease or disorder can have grave consequences.


- Prescription Errors

When you follow the orders of your doctor, you expect to see results. It is not your job to understand the science behind prescription drugs and dosage. It is, however, the job of your physician and your pharmacist, and when they make a prescription mistake, giving you the wrong medication or dosage, you could encounter serious problems.


- Premises Liability Injuries

The New York & New Jersey personal injury law firm of Robert A. Solomon, P.C. has years of experience fighting for injured victims of premises liability. If you have slipped, tripped, fallen, or been otherwise hurt by the dangerous property conditions of a negligent party, you may be entitled to compensation.


- Slip and Fall Injuries

A "slip and fall" accident occurs when an individual falls as a result of a dangerous or hazardous condition on someone else's property. Regardless where the accident occurs, property owners have a certain level of responsibility (duty of care) to make sure the environment is safe.


- Ice & Snow Injuries

As the weather takes a turn for the worse, roads, sidewalks, and stairs become more and more dangerous. Every year, people in New York and New Jersey suffer serious personal injuries in accidents caused by ice and snow. If you have been injured in a slip and fall or car accident this winter, you can take action and get the fair compensation you deserve.


- Inadequate Security

Parking lots, apartment buildings, and commercial garages can all be dangerous places when they are poorly maintained and not taken care of properly and adequate security is not provided. All property owners have a responsibility to provide a safe environment, and when inadequate security and poor lighting lead to serious accidents, they can and should be held accountable.


- Dog Bites

At Robert A. Solomon, P.C. we understand how different the law in New York is from that in New Jersey when it comes to Dog Bite Cases. We can use our knowledge and experience to represent you in your case and achieve results. In New York, a dog bite victim must establish that the dog had vicious propensities and that the owner knew or should have known of the dog's vicious propensities. This often results in the owner getting one free bite. In New Jersey the owner of any dog which bites a person is liable for the damages suffered by the person bitten, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner's knowledge of such viciousness.


- Personal Injury

At any moment in America, millions of people are driving, walking, shopping, traveling, and working, so it is no wonder that accidents and injuries have become an inevitable part of life. But the fact that mishaps are fairly commonplace does not detract from the pain and confusion that can result when an accident or injury happens to you or a loved one. This is especially true when any harm could have been avoided if others had not acted carelessly. If you decide to take steps toward protecting your legal rights after an accident or injury, you may have a number of general questions about "personal injury" cases.


- Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one through the negligence of another person or entity can be one of the most painful experiences in a person's life. Following the fatal accident, families may not think immediately about legal action, choosing instead to focus on the grieving process. Pursuing legal action in the form of a wrongful death claim may be advisable for many situations. A lawyer from Robert A. Solomon, P.C. can discuss with you the advisability of pursuing a wrongful death claim. We can handle the legal affairs while you and your family focus on grieving and healing.
