Construction accidents – We defend lawsuits alleging injuries resulting from violations of safe work environment requirements in Sections 200, 240 and 241 of New York Labor Law. Our attorneys also represent clients in disputes over additional insured clauses and utilizing the anti-subrogation rule.
Product liability claims – Our attorneys represent manufacturers, distributors and resellers of products alleged to have caused injury due to defective design or manufacture. We have successfully represented clients in cases involving a wide range of products, including tools, consumer goods and industrial products.
Nursing home liability claims – We have defended nursing homes and medical professionals against charges of negligence and abuse. We represent clients in governmental agency hearings across the state, including the New York State Department of Health.
Commercial premises liability – Slip-and-fall accidents on commercial property and injuries allegedly caused by a failure to provide sufficient security are commonplace in New York. We defend businesses and nonprofits of all sizes against all forms of premises liability claims.
Aggressive, Cost-Effective Representation
We provide value to our clients with effective, cost-efficient service. We routinely identity cases where early disposition by motion is possible, or whether a matter is ripe for mediation. When a dispositive motion or mediation is not feasible, we aggressively pursue strategies to resolve claims early in the litigation.
