Construction Accidents
New York Labor Law has been the protector of construction workers on job sites in New York for more than 100 years. Under the law, employers have an obligation to protect the safety of their employees. The law is equally enforceable against property owners, construction company employers and general contractors. Over the past several years however, the courts have been narrowing the scope of protection afforded to employees.
Bicycle And Pedestrian Accidents
In New York City, people on foot have the right of way. Crosswalks and sidewalks are supposed to offer pedestrians some level of protection. Yet, every year, thousands of people are injured or killed when negligent or distracted motorists ignore signs or fail to watch for pedestrians. Our firm will help you use the law to recover the damages that you suffered emotionally, physically and financially.
Medical Malpractice
At Katz & Kern LLP, we've had a number of clients come in and share their stories of medical malpractice. In recent years, it's becoming increasingly difficult to recover money in a medical malpractice lawsuit. We have experience professionals that will help you recover financial compensation so you can focus on the recovery of your health.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
New York street's are packed with cars, trucks, buses, bikers and pedestrians alike. In a city as bustling and booming as New York, it's alarmingly easy to find yourself the victim of a motor vehicle accident. At Katz & Kern LLP, we're dedicated to making our city safer by holding negligent drivers accountable. We care about civil justice. For us, that means handling each claim on an individual basis so we can prepare case strategies that are tailored to your unique situation. We're here to get you the compensation you deserve for your physical, financial and emotional injuries.
Premises Liabilities
Have you or someone you know, fallen and get seriously injured? If your answer is yes, then Katz & Kern is here to help. If you have been injured due to unsafe or neglected property conditions, the best thing you can do to protect your rights is write down the facts. Every year, premises liability injury claims in New York are becoming more and more difficult. At Katz & Kern LLP, we have been fighting to protect the rights of people injured in these trip, slip and fall cases since the beginning.
Traumatic Injuries/Fatal Accidents
A traumatic injury has lasting emotional and financial impact on the victim as well as those around them. It is not uncommon that after such an event, entire families or caregivers lose their social connections, jobs and relationships all together. If you or a loved one had suffered from a traumatic injury, Katz & Kern LLP is here to help you regain control of your life.
Product Liabilities
Products should be designed with safety in mind. It used to be that consumers could count on government agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), to ensure that products were safe before coming to market. However, large manufacturing and importing corporations have been gaining influence with these government agencies. This has left consumers vulnerable to serious injury. We care about our clients and believe they should be safe when bringing products into their homes and fight to keep it that way.
