Law Firm Overview FREE CONSULTATION

Rosenberg & Gluck, LLP was established in Holtsville, New York by Ted Rosenberg and Michael Gluck in 1996. Mr. Rosenberg, a Suffolk County native, started practicing law on Long Island in 1983, and Mr. Gluck began his legal career at a New York City firm in 1983. The two graduates of St.

John's University School of Law shared a deep interest in helping those who are injured. They joined forces, devoting their practice to fighting for the rights of personal injury victims in Suffolk County and throughout Long Island.

The firm's seven attorneys blend decades of experience in prosecuting personal injury claims. A trained and dedicated support staff aids our attorneys, who work on multimillion-dollar cases every day. We utilize today's most advanced technology, including computer-generated exhibits and state-of-the-art computer software. Technology not only assists us in the research and administration of personal injury matters but also provides us with instant access to detailed, up-to-the-minute information about every case we handle.

At Rosenberg & Gluck, our financial capacity to advance the high costs of litigation allows us to use an array of resources and increase our chance of recovery. We draw upon a nationwide network of recognized experts, including doctors in all specialties, safety experts, engineers, accident-reconstruction specialists and economists, who are instrumental in proving our cases.

Long-standing working relationships with members of the medical community on all types of personal injury cases give our law firm a knowledge base and access to information that can make a dramatic difference in the results we are able to obtain. In building our cases, our personal injury attorneys also employ experienced private investigators to accumulate critical background information, obtain statements and conduct research vital to a well-prepared case.

Areas of Law Description

At Rosenberg & Gluck, LLP, our personal injury lawyers handle cases including the following:

- Car Accidents

At the Long Island law firm of Rosenberg & Gluck, LLC, we understand the devastating economic impact a serious accident can have on you and your family. Personal Injury Law is all our Attorneys do. When you seek our help, we take care of the details of your accident while you concentrate on regaining your health. Because negligent drivers and their insurers often deny any responsibility for causing an accident, our office works with accident reconstructionists, skid-mark analysts, civil engineers, surveyors and private investigators to determine the cause of a wreck. We gather eyewitness testimony and obtain police reports while investigating evidence from the scene of an accident.

- Motorcycle Accidents

Michael Gluck, one of our founding partners, has been riding sport bikes, cruisers and standards for more than 35 years. He has a clear understanding of motorcycle handling, the causes of accidents and the degree of injury bike riders’ experience. We realize motorcycle-accident victims face a number of post-accident challenges. Holding those responsible for your injuries accountable is crucial to get the financial compensation you need and deserve in order to pay bills. Discussing your case with an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer can help determine if you have grounds for a personal injury claim and help you recover damages.

- Truck Accidents

The truck accident lawyers at Rosenberg & Gluck, LLP, look at the actions of both the truck driver and the parent company when investigating trucking accidents. State and federal laws govern the trucking industry and require both a driver and a truck company to maintain certain kinds of records. As attorneys, we can obtain copies of a driver’s logbook, drug test results, driving record and training history. We uncover violations and hold drivers and truck companies liable for injuries and fatalities they cause through negligence. The attorneys at Rosenberg & Gluck represent clients injured in all semi or tractor-trailer accidents, including those resulting from the following:

• driving while fatigued
• driving under the influence
• excessive speeding
• making wide turns
• pulling onto the shoulder improperly
• tailgating
• load shifting
• lacking proper safety reflectors for night driving
• tires blowing out

- Bicycle Accidents

At Rosenberg & Gluck, we have been aggressively protecting the rights of injured cyclists for decades. We are avid bicyclists ourselves, both roadies and mountain bikers who love to get out on the roads and trails throughout Long Island. We know from experience that motorists often fail to exercise the necessary caution when cyclists are on the road. We handle all types of claims, including those involving injuries sustained when: a car backs out or pulls into a road in front of or in the path of a bicyclist; a motorist fails to give you enough room on the shoulder of the road; a car or truck fails to travel at a reasonable speed when passing you, blowing you off the road or causing you to lose your balance.

- Boating Accidents

We aggressively protect the rights of people who have been injured in boating accidents, whether as the operator of another watercraft, a passenger, a swimmer, or involved in any other activity in the water. We handle cases involving all types of watercraft, such as powerboats or speedboats, sailboats, Jet Skis®, WaveRunners®, windsurfers, surfboards, rowboats, and canoes. We represent people who have suffered any type of boating accident injury, from muscle injury to water inhalation or hypothermia, as well as serious and catastrophic injuries such as brain or spinal cord injury, paralysis, and amputation or loss of limb. We also handle wrongful death claims, including drowning.

- Pedestrian Accidents

When you have been injured as a pedestrian by the careless or negligent act of a motor vehicle operator, you want an experienced personal injury attorney to help you pursue full and fair compensation for your injuries. The losses sustained in a pedestrian accident can be substantial. You may not be able to work for a long time, if ever. You may need long-term medical care, including rehabilitation or physical therapy. You may live every day with excruciating pain. The personal injury attorneys at Rosenberg & Gluck can help. We handle claims involving all types of injuries arising out of pedestrian-auto accidents, from soft-tissue to serious and catastrophic injuries, including broken bones, amputation or loss of limb, brain injury, or spinal cord trauma.

- Railroad Accidents

The injuries sustained in a railroad accident can be life-altering. You want a lawyer who has handled train accident injuries, one who knows how to get you full and fair compensation for all your losses. We represent people who have been hurt in a railroad accident, taking all types of personal injury claims, such as: injuries sustained in gaps on platforms, between the platform and cars; injuries resulting from the negligent operation of a train by its conductor, including sudden and unanticipated braking, or operating the train at unsafe or unreasonable speeds; injuries resulting from the collision of the train with another train, with a car or motor vehicle, or any other object; injuries sustained in train derailing’s caused by driver or train company error or negligence.

- Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

The injuries suffered when you are attacked by a dog can be among the most horrific and painful of all personal injuries. In addition to serious scarring or disfigurement or the loss of a limb, you can also face infection or the painful treatments that are required for rabies. If you have been attacked or bitten by a dog, you want an experienced lawyer to help you get full and fair compensation for your injuries. We handle all types of injury claims resulting from dog bites, whether you have muscle injuries or you have been mauled and have had to have plastic surgery to rebuild your face or other body parts. We also handle wrongful death claims resulting from animal attacks.

- Construction Accidents

Despite numerous safety regulations, construction remains a high-risk, dangerous industry. If you have been injured in a construction accident on Long Island — whether in residential or commercial building construction or renovation, in highway construction, or elsewhere — you might mistakenly believe that a workers' compensation claim is your only legal recourse. In addition to workers’ compensation, other legal remedies are available for serious construction-accident injuries. If you are a construction worker and have been injured in a fall from a height, including a roof fall, ladder fall or scaffolding accident, Rosenberg & Gluck, LLP, have the experience to protect your interests and help you obtain full and fair compensation for your injuries.

- Products Liability

If you have suffered an injury caused by a dangerous or defective product, you could have a claim for damages against any party in the chain of distribution, from the designer or the manufacturer to the retailer. At Rosenberg & Gluck, we have extensive experience representing products-liability claimants, which include pharmaceutical-injury claims, such as claims for injury caused by prescription and over-the-counter drugs. If you have used prescription or over-the-counter pharmaceuticals and have suffered a stroke, heart attack or other medical injury, we can help you get financial compensation for the harm you suffered.

- Medical Malpractice

Hospitals, clinics and medical professionals are required to meet an industry standard of care. A failure to meet this standard that results in serious injury is the basis of a medical-malpractice allegation. At the law firm of Rosenberg & Gluck, LLP, located in Holtsville, N.Y., our attorneys have decades of experience representing individuals injured as a result of medical negligence. If you believe you have been harmed while undergoing surgery or receiving medical care and need legal help to evaluate your injury, you will find unparalleled expertise derived from decades of experience at Rosenberg & Gluck, LLP.

- Nursing Home Negligence

If someone you care about is a resident of a nursing home, assisted-living center or other elder care facility, remaining vigilant for signs of abuse and neglect is important. Evidence of neglect is not always easy to recognize, and the staff might attempt to conceal forms of mistreatment. When caregivers and other nursing home staff abuse, neglect or exploit an elderly or disabled individual under their care, they may be held liable for their actions in a civil action for damages; liable parties may also be subject to criminal violations. The attorneys at the Suffolk County law firm of Rosenberg & Gluck, LLP, have broad experience representing nursing home residents and their families. We regularly pursue civil actions on behalf of our clients involving nursing home owner and employee-liability claims.

- Premises Liability

Under the law, property owners have a responsibility to maintain safe premises, and when they do not, they may be subject to premises liability claims. Whether in a grocery store, at a public park, on school grounds or in a parking lot, a standard of care exists for maintaining property. Dangers risk injury, and many injuries are preventable. Owners and property or business managers have a duty to notify people about a danger or remove a hazardous condition. Premises liability law encompasses property owner liability situations, such as:

• Dog bites and animal attacks
• Pool drowning
• Toxic exposure
• Inadequate security to prevent criminal assault (lack of lights or surveillance)
• Falling trees
• Falling objects from shelves
• Fires (caused by building-code violations)
• Building collapses
• Dangerous amusement park rides

- Slip or Trip and Falls

Slip or Trip and Fall injuries caused by unsafe property conditions are common types of premises liability cases. While many slip and fall accidents result in scrapes, bruises or minor injuries, others lead to broken bones, herniated discs, spinal cord injury, brain injury or even death. Slip and fall injuries can occur anywhere — indoors, outdoors, and on public or private property. Injuries suffered on another’s property, whether in a home, on a sidewalk or in a commercial building or shop, are often caused by negligent maintenance or even complete disregard for the safety of others. If you have been injured as a result of a slip and fall or trip and fall on a parking lot, an icy sidewalk or a defective sidewalk, those responsible may be liable for your injuries.

- Birth Injuries

When you are about to experience the joys of bringing a new child into the world, and you or the child are injured because of the careless or negligent acts of doctors, nurses or other health care providers, you want an experienced personal injury attorney to ensure that your legal rights are protected. The emotional devastation that comes with a birth injury can make it difficult to make objective decisions about your legal options. You want a lawyer who has successfully helped other parents through this difficult time. We represent parents in cases involving all types of injuries suffered during the birth process, including brain or spinal cord injury or paralysis. We also handle wrongful death claims arising out of birth injuries.

- Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injury, often referred to as TBI, is caused by severe, jarring motions to the brain. Because brain tissue is soft, when it crushes against the hard bone of the skull, the soft tissue can easily bruise, tear or swell. Motions such as acceleration and deceleration are capable of injuring the brain. The major cause of traumatic brain injury for people under age 75 is accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians. Sports accidents and falls are also common causes. Any brain-injury case requires attorneys who understand the complex issues that arise when fighting for the rights of those affected by brain injuries. The attorneys at Rosenberg & Gluck, LLP, in Holtsville, N.Y., have extensive experience in all types of brain-injury cases.

- Burn Injuries

The consequences can be devastating if you have suffered burn injuries because of the careless or negligent acts of another person, whether at home, on the job or on someone else’s property. You may face a long and painful recovery process, or have permanent scarring or disfigurement. You may require multiple surgeries and extensive rehabilitation or physical therapy simply to have a normal life. You want an experienced personal injury lawyer who has successfully helped other burn injury victims to protect your interests. We handle claims involving first-, second- or third-degree burns, as well as cases involving scarring, disfigurement, infections, or loss or amputation of limb resulting from burn injuries. We also represent surviving family members in wrongful death actions related to burn injuries.

- Spinal Cord Injuries

According to NSCIA statistics, most spinal cord injuries are a result of car accidents, sports accidents, falls and industrial mishaps. Victims of spinal cord injuries suffer dramatic, life-changing effects physically, emotionally and socially. While certain degrees of recovery are possible in some cases, a serious spinal cord injury often results in paralysis. Medical costs can be astronomical for therapy, which could be required for a lifetime, as well as for medical treatment and rehabilitation. If you have suffered a spinal cord injury caused by the negligence of another, retaining a lawyer is essential to recover compensation to cover the harm you suffered.

- Herniated or Bulging Disc

Spinal discs serve as shock absorbers for the bones (vertebrae) in the spine. Round, flat, small discs consist of an outer capsule of ligaments that covers an inner core, a nucleus of jelly-like material. Herniated, ruptured or bulging discs are names for injured discs that tear, rupture or bulge. Seeking legal help from a law firm with extensive experience in handling herniated or bulging disc claims can help you get fair and just compensation for medical bills, lost wages, lost future income and other damages. Rosenberg & Gluck, LLP, has been successful in helping many people who suffer from herniated or bulging discs because of the negligence of others. If your injury is work-related, we can help with workers’ compensation, third-party claims, Social Security disability claims and other sources of recovery.

- Wrongful Death

As adults, we know that death is inevitable. The death of someone we love is one of life’s most grievous occurrences, no matter the circumstances. But when a life is cut short because of someone’s negligence, the loss is more devastating. When a family member dies, legal remedies are not foremost on your mind. Nonetheless, if you wish to hold liable parties accountable, it is crucial to immediately document and preserve evidence, obtain witness statements and consult a lawyer to protect your rights. If your attorney determines you have grounds for a lawsuit, it must be filed within the time frame set by the New York statute of limitations. In a wrongful death case, the statute of limitations generally begins at the time of death. If your case is not filed within the specified time frame, you will forever lose your rights to recovery. Consulting a personal injury lawyer at the outset not only allows for early preparation of the case but also improves your chance for fair compensation.
