Practice Areas Description

If you have suffered a serious injury that was someone else's fault, our attorneys will discuss your case with you to determine the best way to pursue your legal goals.

- Workplace Injury

A workplace accident can force you to face considerable hardships — steep medical bills, lost wages, intense pain and suffering. While a workers' compensation claim may help you cover your initial medical expenses and a portion of your lost wages, it may not be enough. There is no provision within the workers' compensation system that affords you an opportunity to recover damages for your pain and suffering. We handle a wide range of workplace accident claims, including those occurring on construction sites and involving scaffolding collapse and falls from heights. We have access to an elite network of expert witnesses who help us prepare compelling cases on behalf of clients. Our goal is helping you get the total relief to which you need.

- Premises Liability

Our premises liability attorneys represent people who have been injured in apartment building accidents. Landlords are legally obligated to keep common areas in apartment buildings safe and the apartments up to code. A landlord's failure to address safety concerns and maintain the building in a reasonable safe condition can lead to a wide range of serious accidents, including: Apartment Fires; Smoke Detectors; Lead Paint Poisoning; Dining Out Hazards; Elevator/Escalator Accidents; Injury Due to Assault; Slip & Fall Accidents; Sidewalk Accidents; Snow & Ice Accidents; and Burn Injuries. If your landlord has failed to meet their obligations and you, a child or anyone has been seriously injured; our firm will help you file a claim to seek monetary compensation for resultant injuries.

We understand the pain and grief that medical malpractice causes. We are here to help you file a claim to recover monetary compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages.

- Nursing Home Negligence

Nursing home neglect is often the result of under staffing and poorly-trained employees. As nursing homes try to cut corners to increase profits, it is often the residents who are left to suffer. We have been standing up for the rights of New Yorkers for 40 years. We handle a wide range of personal injury and medical malpractice claims, including those involving nursing home negligence and abuse. Pursuing a nursing home neglect claim can spare your loved one from years of pain and suffering. Furthermore, it can help ensure that others are not subjected to the same negligent practices. Our lawyers are skilled litigators with extensive experience handling nursing home neglect claims. We are dedicated to protecting the rights of your loved one.

- Insurance Liability

We are a firm of experienced lawyers who know how to pursue your personal injury claim against the city. We handle a wide range of municipal liability suits, including those involving: Slip and fall accidents; Sidewalk accidents; Bus accidents; Subway accidents; Police brutality; School and day care accidents. In a municipal liability case, it is very important to act in a timely manner. You must file a notice of claim within 90 days from the date of the accident or lose your right to seek compensation. Our attorneys have handled numerous municipal liability cases for our clients and know how to navigate the tricky legal terrain of pursuing a case against a government entity.

- Undocumented Persons

Aliens, legal or illegal, have the same rights as any other person in the United States to make a claim or sue to recover money damages for injuries sustained by reason of an accident caused by the negligence of another. This right is guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. We are proud to be in the vanguard of those working to protect the rights of undocumented workers in New York. In Balbuena v. IDR Realty, decided by New York's high court, the Court of Appeals, TG&L successfully argued for the overturning of the Appellate Division's decision barring undocumented workers from recovering for certain categories of damages based upon their undocumented status. The Court of Appeals' decision, which confirmed the right of undocumented workers to fully recover for their injuries, has been cited by courts around the country, in many periodicals, and numerous scholastic and legal journals. We at TG&L are proud of this civil rights victory which serves to protect the rights of all injured undocumented workers in New York.

- Pharmaceutical Litigation

Our firm, along with our legal network of attorneys, has the experience and skill to successfully represent the victims of drug side effects, prescription errors, drug injuries, medical device malfunctions, and other pharmaceutical litigation matters. We have been successfully representing individuals who have been seriously injured for over forty years. The firm is based in New York.
