What Types of Cases Do We Handle?

Our team of Long Island personal injury attorneys specializes in a broad range of cases. Whatever the cause of your injury, we are here to provide expert guidance and aggressive advocacy:

Medical Malpractice

Healthcare professionals owe you a standard of care. When doctors, nurses, or hospitals fail to meet that standard, the consequences can be devastating. We handle cases involving:

  • Surgical errors: Surgical errors are preventable mistakes made during surgery that can cause severe injury, infection, or even death. These errors may include operating on the wrong site, leaving surgical instruments inside the body, administering improper anesthesia, or failing to monitor the patient’s vital signs. Such negligence often results in long-term complications, additional medical procedures, or life-altering consequences.
  • Misdiagnoses or delayed diagnoses: Misdiagnoses or delayed diagnoses occur when a medical professional fails to correctly identify a condition or takes too long to make an accurate diagnosis, leading to worsened health outcomes or preventable harm. These errors can result in unnecessary treatments, untreated illnesses, or even life-threatening consequences for the patient. Common conditions affected by diagnostic errors include cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and infections.
  • Medication errors: Medication errors occur when healthcare providers prescribe, dispense, or administer the wrong medication, dosage, or treatment to a patient, leading to serious harm or even death. Common causes include miscommunication, inadequate patient review, or negligence during administration. These errors can result in severe complications, allergic reactions, overdose, or untreated conditions.
  • Nursing Home Negligence & Abuse: Nursing home neglect and abuse occur when elderly residents in care facilities suffer harm due to inadequate care, mistreatment, or intentional harm. This can include physical abuse, emotional abuse, financial exploitation, or neglect of basic needs such as hygiene, nutrition, or medical care. Warning signs may include unexplained injuries, sudden changes in behavior, dehydration, malnutrition, or poor living conditions.

Birth Injuries

Few things are as heartbreaking as preventable injuries during childbirth. Birth injuries occur when a newborn suffers harm during labor or delivery due to medical negligence or errors by healthcare providers. These injuries can range from minor bruises to severe, lifelong conditions such as cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, or brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation. Birth injuries often result from delayed C-sections, improper use of delivery tools, failure to monitor fetal distress, or other preventable mistakes.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) occurs when a sudden impact or jolt to the head disrupts normal brain function. These injuries can range from mild concussions to severe, life-altering conditions. TBIs often result from accidents such as car crashes, falls, sports injuries, or violent assaults, and they can have devastating physical, emotional, and financial consequences for both the injured person and their loved ones.


Common Symptoms of TBI

The effects of a TBI vary depending on the severity of the injury. Some common symptoms include:

  • Physical: Headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and seizures.
  • Cognitive: Memory loss, difficulty concentrating, confusion, and impaired decision-making.
  • Emotional/Behavioral: Mood swings, depression, anxiety, and changes in personality.

In severe cases, TBIs can result in permanent disabilities, including loss of motor function, communication challenges, or even coma.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

From fender benders to catastrophic crashes, our attorneys represent victims of:

  • Car accidents caused by reckless or distracted drivers.
  • Truck accidents involving large commercial vehicles, which often lead to severe injuries due to their size and weight.
  • Motorcycle accidents and the unique challenges faced by bikers on Long Island roads.

Construction Accidents

Construction accidents can result in severe injuries or fatalities due to the inherently dangerous nature of construction sites. Common accidents include falls from heights, scaffolding collapses, equipment malfunctions, and exposure to hazardous materials. These incidents are often caused by negligence, unsafe working conditions, or violations of safety regulations.

Premises Liability

Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of property owners to ensure their premises are safe for visitors. When unsafe conditions—such as slippery floors, broken stairs, poor lighting, or inadequate security—result in accidents or injuries, the property owner may be held liable. Common premises liability cases include slip and falls, dog bites, and injuries caused by falling objects or structural hazards. Common premises liability claims include slip-and-falls, inadequate security, and falling objects.

Wrongful Death

A wrongful death occurs when someone’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions lead to the untimely loss of a loved one. These cases often stem from car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, or defective products. While no amount of compensation can replace your loss, a wrongful death claim can help provide financial security and hold the responsible party accountable. Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating. Our compassionate team supports families in seeking justice and financial security for the future.

How Does the Personal Injury Claim Process Work?

  • Initial Consultation: It all starts with a free consultation. Our attorneys will review the details of your case and advise you on the best course of action.
  • Investigation and Evidence Collection: From accident reports and medical records to eyewitness testimony and expert opinions, we’ll gather every piece of evidence needed to strengthen your claim.
  • Negotiation:  Most cases are settled outside of court. We’ll handle all negotiations with insurance companies to secure a fair settlement.
  • Litigation, If Necessary: If a settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial. Our attorneys have a proven track record in courtrooms across Long Island and New York State.

What Is My Case Worth?

Determining the value of a personal injury claim requires careful evaluation of various factors, such as:

  • Medical expenses: Current and future treatment costs.
  • Lost wages: Income lost due to your inability to work.
  • Pain and suffering: Compensation for emotional distress and reduced quality of life.
  • Property damage: Repairs or replacement of damaged property (e.g., your vehicle).

Every case is unique, and we work tirelessly to maximize your compensation.

Why Acting Quickly Matters

In New York, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years from the date of the accident. However, certain types of cases, like medical malpractice or wrongful death, may have shorter deadlines. Waiting too long could mean forfeiting your right to compensation.
