Services
Car Accidents
We handle all car accident cases from minor fender-benders to severe crashes on major highways. Our attorneys investigate fault, negotiate with insurance companies, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. With decades of experience in New York traffic laws, we secure maximum recoveries for victims of distracted driving, speeding, and other negligent behaviors.
Truck Accidents
Our firm specializes in complex truck accident cases involving 18-wheelers and delivery vehicles. We analyze federal regulations, driver logs, and cargo requirements to hold trucking companies accountable. Common cases include fatigue-related crashes, unsecured cargo incidents, and mechanical failure accidents across New York highways like the Cross Bronx Expressway and I-87.
Construction Injuries
We represent workers injured in construction site accidents including scaffold collapses, crane malfunctions, and electrical injuries. Our attorneys utilize New York's Labor Law 240 and 241 to pursue claims against property owners and contractors. We handle cases involving falls from heights, struck-by incidents, and trench collapses requiring specialized safety regulation knowledge.
Slip and Fall
Our team handles slip-and-fall cases caused by unsafe property conditions. We investigate incidents involving wet floors, uneven surfaces, snow/ice accumulation, and broken stairs. Through surveillance footage and incident reports, we prove property owner negligence in commercial and residential settings across New York City and surrounding areas.
Premises Liability
We handle premises liability cases beyond slip-and-falls, including dog bite injuries and negligent security claims. Our attorneys demonstrate how property owners failed to maintain safe environments, securing compensation for victims of inadequate lighting, unsecured hazards, and animal attacks in both public and private spaces.
