Personal Injury Attorneys Serving New York City and New York

Whether you are dealing with the consequences of a car accident, an incident of medical malpractice, an injury by a defective product, a construction accident, or another devastating accident, the experienced New York City personal injury lawyers at Gair, Gair, Conason, Rubinowitz, Bloom, Hershenhorn, Steigman & Mackauf are ready to fight for your right to compensation.

Car Accidents

In most personal injury cases arising from motor vehicle accidents, you will need to establish the negligence of a defendant driver. This means that you will need to show that the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care, failed to abide by that duty, and thereby caused injuries to the plaintiff. Many drivers behave carelessly behind the wheel, such as by texting while driving, driving while intoxicated, speeding excessively, or failing to yield at intersections. These actions likely would support a negligence claim. A victim may be able to obtain compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other costs and losses. After an accident, you may be contacted by an insurance adjustor for an at-fault person or entity. The purpose of the call may be to elicit information about the accident in order to show that you are responsible for it. You should consult your own personal injury lawyer as soon as possible, rather than giving a statement to an insurance adjustor or attorney.

Premises Liability

If you have been injured on someone else’s property, you may be able to hold the owner responsible through a premises liability claim. These cases often arise from accidents caused by dangerous and defective conditions at the premises. You will need to establish the negligence of the property owner, which essentially means showing that the owner knew or reasonably should have known about the dangerous condition, and the owner failed to repair it or warn visitors about it.

Medical Malpractice

Bringing a medical malpractice lawsuit may be appropriate if your doctor deviated from accepted medical standards and practices, and this deviation was the cause of your injuries. Your attorney will need to consult experts on your behalf to confirm that there has been a deviation from proper and accepted medical practice.

Nursing Home Negligence

Nursing home neglect and abuse unfortunately may result from understaffing, a lack of qualifications, inadequate maintenance of a facility and its equipment, inadequate background checks, or the inadequate training of staff. It may be difficult for families to realize that their loved ones are being neglected or abused. Some common warning signs are bedsores, unexplained fractures, mood changes, and social withdrawal. We may be able to recover compensation if you or a loved one has been subjected to this reprehensible conduct.

Construction Accidents

Construction sites are dangerous places, and many workers are hurt on scaffolding, ladders, hoists, slings, and other similar devices. Often, there is a basis for a claim against a general contractor or owner under Sections 200, 240 and 241(6) of the New York State Labor Law, depending on the type of accident. Our firm can help determine who was responsible and whether a personal injury action may be filed.

Product Liability

A plaintiff's product liability lawsuit may be brought under three theories in New York: negligence, strict product liability, and breach of warranty. A Product Liability Case may be based on a flaw in the manufacturing of the defective product or on the defective design of the product, which may include a failure to warn of the dangerous condition of the product.

Wrongful Death

When someone dies through the negligent act of another, a wrongful death claim can result. A family bringing a wrongful death claim after a fatal accident or medical malpractice may be able to recover compensation for their pecuniary loss and in certain cases for the conscious pain and suffering of the decedent prior to death. They would need to establish that the death was caused by a defendant's careless or wrongful actions, the victim could have brought a personal injury case if they had not died, one or more of the victim’s relatives or beneficiaries suffered a loss due to the death, and damages were incurred that may be recovered by the estate.

I met Diana Carnemolla and Howard S. Hershenhorn during the darkest time of our lives, when my husband was in a coma with very little chances to survive, due to a car accident. The compassion and professionalism that they showed myself and my family during such a difficult time combined with an incredible willingness to get the best results for us have shown us that we had made the absolute best choice. They not only fought extremely hard for what proved to be a very difficult case, but they also emotionally helped us through this incredible ordeal and have been a caring advocate for our family and our case. They got us the best results we could have expected given the circumstances and didn't give up when things got more challenging. We would absolutely recommend their Law Firm to handle the toughest of cases while providing such a great deal of personal support. Diana proved to be personally invested in our case ultimately seeking the best outcome for our family. We cannot thank them enough for what they have done for us. V.P.

"I’m very impressed by the professional services of this law firm Gair Gair Conason. Most importantly Diana M.A. Carnemolla, Esq. She performed impeccable work ethics and professionalism whole time throughout, with her constant follow ups and communication skills, for that I’m very appreciative of. August 2020, my mother was in a horrific car accident. I contacted Gair Gair Conason to handle my mother's case. Everyone at the firm who helped us with the case did such a fantastic job with being so efficient. We could not have been more satisfied with the services we received. Diana M.A. Carnemolla, Esq. was so fast, quick answer for every question that we asked and gave us honest information about the possibilities concerning the case. She resolved our case much faster that I would expect. Thank you so much! I am very happy with this law firm. Especially the outcome from it all and how easy they helped make it be for us. We had a tough case to fight regarding the incident with the other driver, thankfully it all worked out in my mothers best interest. Diana M.A. Carnemolla helped us settle our case easily, helped us get out of it with a much needed win. I’m surprised it wasn’t as bad of experience as I thought it would be. We were pretty worried in the beginning with much thanks to this team they’ve helped solve this for my mother and put much of my worries as well as my mothers to ease. Thank you again from my family to your whole team for an awesome job!! I would highly recommend this law office to anyone in need of outstanding representation." K.C.
