Bicycle Accidents
Recently, news sources have reported an alarming rise in bicycle accidents. Most of the time when these crashes occur, they are due to a motorist's negligence. When a motorist is not paying attention, runs a red light, or cuts into a bicycle lane without making sure that no cyclist is in that lane, a cyclist can be severely injured.
Car Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents are among the leading causes of accidental injury and death across the country; a large percentage of them are directly attributable to the negligence or carelessness of one of the drivers. If you were injured through no fault of your own, do not allow the insurance companies to bully you into a meager settlement. Let the attorneys at Zwirn & Saulino, P.C. fight on your behalf!
Construction Accidents
Construction has been recognized as one of the most deadly industries to work in, as nearly 20% of all fatal workplace incidents are suffered on construction sites. Scaffolding falls, crane mishaps, falling tools and lumber, and accidents involving heavy machinery are among the most common causes of injury and death. Contact Zwirn & Saulino, P.C. if you are injured and considering claiming compensation. We will fight hard to ensure that your rights as a worker are protected and that you receive the maximum compensation possible for your injuries.
Dog Bites
Dog bites can be horribly traumatic to victims and leave long term emotional and physical scars. Victims of dog bites often face long roads to recovery, surgery and in some cases, death. Small children are particularly vulnerable to dog bites, with the majority of the cases of attacks being on children aged five to nine. According to the New York City Department of Health, approximately 4,000 dog bites are reported in the city every year, with injuries ranging from puncture wounds and lacerations to avulsions—where skin or a member is torn off—and even injuries which result in death. A New York City personal injury attorney can investigate the dog that attacked you to determine if it had a history of aggression- if it bit another person before, if it had a history of growling, snapping or baring its teeth, or if it was restrained in a manner befitting a vicious animal. Zwirn & Saulino, P.C. can help you fight for the compensation you need to truly recover, and the amount you need to move forward with your life.
Pedestrian Accidents
Being struck by an automobile, truck or bus can be a traumatic experience for a pedestrian, and even those who survive will typically suffer severe and life-changing injuries. If the driver
is at fault, such as through distraction or denying you the right of way, you have a right to claim damages.
Premises Liability
