- VEHICLE ACCIDENTS
- Under New York State's No-Fault Law, victims of vehicle accidents are considered to have a serious injury if they are disabled for at least 90 days during the six months after the accident. Significant or permanent limitation, or loss of use of a body part, is always considered serious. Most people injured in automobile accidents have an absolute right to "no-fault" insurance coverage, that is payment of medical bills and lost wages up to at least $50,000.00. At The Rothschild Law Firm, we have successfully settled and litigated numerous vehicle injury claims ranging from whiplash to paralysis. Under New York State law, it is even possible to obtain a recovery when an accident is caused by an uninsured or hit and run driver.

- CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS
- A worker who falls from a height, or who is hit by a falling object, usually has an absolute right to recover for his injuries. Construction workers who are injured in other ways also have special rights to obtain recoveries without the need to actually prove negligence. The Rothschild Law Firm has a highly successful track record with construction injury cases. Recovery of future lost wages is an important part of any settlement or jury verdict. It is important to contact us as soon after an accident as possible to permit a thorough and complete investigation of your construction injury claim.

- The most devastating result of negligence is the death of an innocent victim. Not only is the loss of a loved one emotionally overwhelming, the loss of support and financial benefits can leave survivors with little hope.

- SLIPS AND FALLS
- Thousands of people sustain serious injury every year as a result of defectively maintained sidewalks, or roadways. Many falling injuries also occur because of surfaces which are excessively slippery from snow, ice or other substances. At The Rothschild Law Firm, we have handled many cases involving slips and falls caused by the negligence of retail stores, mall owners, schools, municipalities and private landowners. Early investigations of these claims is essential; and, legal counsel should be sought immediately.

- MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE
- While everyone puts their faith in doctors, nurses and health care specialists, sometimes these professionals do not live up to their duties and responsibilities. Serious injury or death may result from negligent care or treatment. Medical and professional malpractice claims are often complicated and require an aggressive and knowledgeable approach. The Rothschild Law Firm is experienced in this area of the law, and committed to maximizing recoveries for the victims of professional negligence. Limitation periods are shorter for malpractice cases making prompt legal attention imperative.
-
- PRODUCT DEFECTS
- When appliances or devices fail, or when food or water is contaminated, the results are often devastating for the victims. The law requires that product manufacturers and food producers manufacture their goods safely for the uses which are promoted and intended. Where consumers are led to believe that a product is safe or wholesome; but, it fails to live up to reasonable expectations, substantial recoveries are allowed for the serious injuries which result. The Rothschild Law Firm provides experienced and aggressive representation for all types of products liability claims.
