Personal Injury
In close to three decades of practice, I have secured hundreds of settlements and verdicts in a wide range of personal injury claims:
- Motor vehicle accidents — I oversee a prompt and thorough investigation to preserve evidence of negligence in car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents and pedestrians struck by cars. I make sure clients get proper treatment and collect documentation to prove damages: medical bills and future care, lost wages, pain and suffering and any lasting disability.
- Slip and fall/premises liability — The City of New York, apartment building owners, grocery stores, restaurants and retail businesses are accountable for their negligent acts that result in injuries to others. I have recovered for broken bones and other serious injuries from potholes, slick floors, construction defects and neglected repairs.
- Construction accidents — Under New York law, the general contractor can be sued for ladder and scaffolding accidents. In other construction injury, a third party (subcontractor, property owner) may be liable.
Negligence of Professionals
I am best known for my results in medical malpractice lawsuits, for which I have recovered millions of dollars for clients. I have also handled:
- Legal malpractice — An attorney can be sued for technical failures resulting in tangible financial harm, such as a lawyer who took your injury case but failed to file the lawsuit before the statute of limitations expired.
- Dental Malpractice — I have successfully sued dentists and oral surgeons for mismanagement of implants, crowns, bridges, root canals or extractions resulting in disfigurement, chronic pain or numbness/nerve damage (paresthesia).
