General Personal Injury | Wrongful Death
Our experience with personal injury cases is unique and extensive. In fact, one of our founding fathers, Henry Cohen, was one of the first lawyers in American to handle these types of actions over 80 years ago, and we have been working on these cases ever since.
We understand the emotional, physical, and economic toll that our clients endure when they or their families suffer serious injuries or death because of negligence or malice. We make it our priority to seek appropriate compensation to restore our clients’ quality of life when devastating events occur.
Experience, Integrity, Results
Our practice group has vast experience representing individuals in various types of personal injury cases, including automobile accidents, premises liability, toxic tort claims, class action litigation, brain injury, and wrongful death claims. We have a record of first-rate results in complex personal injury cases.
Brain Injury
We represent persons who have sustained traumatic and permanent brain injury, closed head injury, open head injury, coma, cerebral palsy, concussion, memory loss, personality changes, difficulty concentrating, cognitive impairment, paralysis, and other traumatic injuries as a result of motor vehicle accidents, truck accidents, work site accidents, medical malpractice, surgical errors, dangerous premises, and defective and unsafe products. People who have suffered a brain injury may have to readjust many areas of their life and may not be able to continue living the way they did before the injury.
Brain injury affects the lives of family members and loved ones who must help in the recovery process. This process can be emotionally and financial draining on the victim and loved ones. A variety of medications, surgeries, and rehabilitation may be necessary.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death is a type of personal injury that may be caused by many unfortunate accidents, including:
- Medical malpractice
- Nursing home abuse
- Defective products
- Accidents
In cases involving a claim for wrongful death, New York law allows a shorter time to bring a lawsuit than in the case of personal injury. We urge our clients to contact us as soon as possible to ensure that we can promptly investigate their claim.
Our attorneys understand complex medical injuries and accident causation. To prove our case, we have the resources needed to hire the leading medical experts and accident causation specialists. With the help of economic experts, our firm determines the extent of the family’s financial losses and pain and suffering.
Compassionate, Professional, Committed
In addition to being skilled, we are also compassionate. We understand what a difficult time this is for our clients and because we have made the conscious choice to limit our caseloads, we are able to give each client, and each case, more time, more attention and better service. We are dedicated to obtaining the most favorable outcomes for our clients. If we accept a case, then we take the risk. Our clients do not pay any attorneys fees unless we recover money through a settlement or by a jury award.
