Car Accidents
Car accidents regularly occur on Staten Island’s roadways, and our attorneys help victims receive the compensation they need to cover medical expenses, make up for lost income, and rebuild their lives following severe injuries. More often than not, auto accidents are caused by driver carelessness, including texting while driving, running a red light, and driving under the influence. Victims of these accidents have the right to file lawsuits, and Parker Waichman LLP can help them achieve the results they need. Contact our personal injury law office today if you were involved in a car accident on Staten Island, New York.
Trucking Accidents
The trucking industry is well-regulated by state and federal laws, but truckers sometimes do not follow regulations. Because of time crunches or dangerous corporate practices, some truckers drive too many hours, fail to maintain their trucks properly, or drive erratically. People involved in trucking accidents often suffer serious injuries because of the size and weight of tractor trailers. Parker Waichman LLP has significant experience litigating trucking cases, which can often be complicated, and has successfully secured compensation for our clients and their families. If you have been involved in a trucking accident on Staten Island, call Parker Waichman LLP today.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders are unfortunately much more likely to be involved in severe injury or fatality accidents than other motorists. On Staten Island, riders can be injured when drivers are not paying attention or are acting carelessly on the road. Our injury attorneys are committed to protecting the rights of motorcycle riders and will fight for the compensation you deserve after an accident. Call our firm today if you were injured while riding your motorcycle on Staten Island.
Defective Products
In addition to the traditional types of cases people think about when discussing personal injury law, Parker Waichman LLP advocates for people injured by defective products. This includes consumer products, as well as prescription drugs and medical devices. Manufacturers all have a duty to make sure their products are safe for use and distributed with adequate warnings. When they fail to do so, consumers cannot make informed choices, and they can be harmed by defective products. Contact Parker Waichman LLP today if you received an injury due to a flawed product on Staten Island.
Wrongful Death
Personal injury claims that include the death of a loved one are some of the most difficult we litigate. Family members can never truly be made whole by a monetary award on their cases, and we recognize that. Our firm seeks justice on behalf of lost loved ones, and we strive to restore peace of mind to grieving families. Call our office today if you lost a family member because of someone else’s wrongful conduct.
