DENTAL MALPRACTICE
Our firm has a particular emphasis in representing patients in dental malpractice matters. Dental malpractice can include, among other things: improper root canal treatment; improper removal of teeth; a failure to or delay in diagnosing disease; improper placement of dental implants; improperly performed surgery; the improper administration of anesthetic; or the improper fabrication of dental bridges and crowns. Damages that may result from dental malpractice include lingual nerve or inferior alveolar nerve damage; trigeminal neuralgia; paraesthesia; loss of teeth; the need to replace the crown or bridgework that a dentist had placed. If you have sustained damage as the result of the mistreatment of a dentist you may be entitled to compensatory damages to correct your problems, as well as for your pain and suffering. There are strict time limitations on dental malpractice cases, so if you think you have been a victim of dental malpractice, please contact us today for a free consultation by email, info@dentalmallawyer.com or by phone (516) 599-2020.

AUTO ACCIDENTS
If you have been injured in an automobile accident and you have suffered a Serious Injury, you may be entitled to sue for your Personal Injuries, Pain and Suffering and other economic losses. Soreness and pain often are signs of an underlying serious injury and can only be detected by medical testing a month or more after the accident. It is very important that you seek immediate medical attention, make sure that the biling goes through the no-fault portion of your automobile insurance.  Insurance companies often offer an injured party a minimal settlement shortly after an accident to avoid paying an appropriate amount once the true injuries have been determined. Do not accept any settlement for personal injuries or sign a release prior seeking the advice of an attorney.

When you seek medical attention be sure to inform the doctors that your injuries are related to an automobile accident to ensure that your medical bills are covered by the appropriate No-Fault Insurance coverage, failing to do so may result in a medical lien against money that may be awarded to you.

CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS
If you are a construction worker, heavy equipment operator, sub-contractor or truck driver and have fallen from a height off a ladder or scaffolding or have been injured in any way you may be entitled to compensation. There are many regulations and statutes that must be followed while on a construction site, if the owner of the site or the general contractor violates any of those you may be entitled to compensation.  Whether you are a foreman, journeyman or laborer, union or non-union, you have important rights that we can protect so that you and your family can get through the difficult time that you are out of work. The time to bring a claim against any government agency is very short, if you have been inured you should contact our office as soon as possible to discuss your claim.

NON-TRADITIONAL FAMILIES
Roughly 10% of the 60 million "coupled" households in America are unmarried. This figure from the 2000 census reflects the continually evolving attitude toward the definition of "family". Of those unmarried families, 10% identify themselves as same-sex families. In New York City, there are over 25,000 same-sex households and about 27% of those families have children. Unfortunately, the current law does not adequately address the needs of these families; particularly vulnerable are their children.

We offer these families a sense of protection and security through the drafting of specifically worded legal documentation. While we cannot address every issue presented by the absence of federal or state laws, we offer our clients a wide range of protective documentation. Our Will Package addresses many of the basic needs of the nontraditional family. From hospital visitation and health care proxy designation to powers of attorney and the naming of a guardian, our Will Package provides the security that unmarried families, particularly those with children, need on a daily basis.

We welcome referrals from the bar in dental malpractice matters. In addition to personal injury litigation, we also represent clients in the general practice of law including the areas of Non-Traditional Family and Estate Matters, Real Estate, Matrimonial, Wills and Estates, Criminal Matters and others.

Please feel free to contact us with any legal questions we may help you with.
