Areas of Law Description

Greenspan & Greenspan provides legal representation in the following:

- Personal Injury

When you or a family member has been physically, emotionally, or financially injured, an experienced personal injury lawyer can evaluate your situation, explain your options, and work for the compensation you need and deserve. Personal injury law includes but is not limited to the following:

* Catastrophic Injury

A catastrophic injury is a devastating experience. Not only must you find a way to recover and get on with life; you must also worry about how your family will pay for medical bills, compensate for lost wages, and take care of a lifetime of treatments. Catastrophic injury is a legal term for any injury that causes a lifelong disability. Some examples include:

Spinal cord injuries
Serious back and neck injuries
Closed head injuries
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Amputations

* Injuries at Foreign Resorts

People are lured to resorts by thoughts of a paradise; but unfortunately, lax safety standards can make a trip a nightmare. As we detail on our trampoline injuries, even a simple thing like a water trampoline can be set up in a very dangerous manner and cause terrible injuries. Trampolines are very dangerous. It is the responsibility of a trampoline's owner to make every necessary safety precaution. If they don't, and a serious injury results, they may be liable for any all medical bills, pain and suffering, etc. Other common accidents are:

Boat explosions and collisions
Drowning
Equipment failures
Jet ski accidents
Other incidents causing catastrophic injuries and wrongful deaths

* Construction Accidents

Construction accidents can have many causes including scaffolding falls, falls from buildings, ladder accidents, and injuries from defective machines (saws, nail guns) with inadequate safety mechanisms. The injuries can range from serious to catastrophic to wrongful death. At the Greenspan & Greenspan law firm, our construction accident lawyers have handled cases involving:

Loss of limb
Back injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Paraplegia
Quadriplegia
Fractured bones
Burn injuries
Explosions
Electrocutions
Electrical burns

* Motor Vehicle Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents cause the loss of time, property, health and even life. Such accidents occur because of elements including driver error, negligence, manufacturing defects and dangerous weather. No matter what the specific cause or result, a crash can turn a normal day into a prolonged struggle. Speaking with a lawyer can help you sort out your rights, your options and your future. Actions, on the part of either driver, that may have contributed to the accident include:

Failure to stop at a red light or stop sign
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Failure to compensate for dangerous weather conditions
Driving above or below the posted speed limits
Driver distraction caused by a cell phone, passenger, radio or another source
Failure to obey traffic laws regarding turn signals, right-of-way and other rules

* Wrongful Death

When a loved one dies in a sudden, unexpected manner – a car or truck accident, a construction work accident, medical negligence – the family is left with tremendous grief. At such times, it is difficult for the survivors to focus on future needs and concerns. With compassion, concern, and careful attention to legal requirements, we have helped many families through the trauma of wrongful death.

- Criminal Defense

The attorneys of Greenspan and Greenspan are highly qualified and practice within amongst others the following areas of criminal law:

* Drunk Driving (DWI)

If you have been accused of drunk driving in New York, whether you are a resident or a visitor, it is very important to understand the New York DWI penalties. The lawyers of Greenspan & Greenspan can help you understand what penalties might apply to your case, and will fight hard to get you the minimum possible penalty. A conviction for the misdemeanor offense of driving while intoxicated (DWI) may result in a sentence to a period of incarceration. Your attorney's job is to fight to keep you out of jail and have you serve a period of probation (usually three years).

* Criminal Tax Defense

The moment you are contacted by a federal CID (Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS) agent, you need an experienced tax defense lawyer. As soon as you receive notice from any tax agency – local, state, or federal – that you are under criminal investigation, you need a New York criminal tax attorney.

* White Collar Crimes

Simply being investigated for a white collar crime or being accused of physician misconduct can damage a career irreparably. Whether you feel you are guilty or not guilty, you need to make sure your rights are protected. We provide legal assistance in respect to:

Embezzlement: Are you under investigation for embezzlement? Have you been accused of stealing money from your employer? Innocent people often incriminate themselves out of nervousness. Make sure you have an experienced embezzlement defense lawyer to protect your rights.
Fraud: Have you been accused of defrauding your company? Is there a misunderstanding about a company loan or a seeming diversion of funds? Our white collar crime defense law firm has the experience and knowledge to sort out the problem while protecting your interests.
Securities Crimes, Insider Trading: If you are the target of an insider trading investigation or any other securities crime, you need the advice and counsel of lawyers who understand the complexities of financial criminal charges.
Physician Misconduct: If you are a doctor under investigation by the Office of Professional Medical Conduct (OPMC), you could lose your medical license and your career.
