Howard Cohen, David Elibol and Harry Forrest of the law firm of Gross, Shuman, Brizdle & Gilfillan, P.C. represents clients (the injured party) in many types of personal injury cases including:

 

Nursing Home Abuse
Although most nursing homes provide care for elderly residents that complies with the relevant local, state and federal laws, all too often a vulnerable senior citizen is the victim of neglect or abuse at a nursing home — abuse that may be physical, emotional, sexual, or financial.

 

If your loved one has been the target of abusive or neglectful conduct at a nursing home, you can seek legal redress with the help of one of our experienced nursing home abuse attorneys.

 

Defective Products
American consumers trust that the products they purchase are safe, but this is not always the case. In recent years, there have been countless products—drugs, medical devices, machines, toys, appliances and more—that have been recalled or criticized for not meeting accepted standards of safety.

 

When a design or manufacturing defect or a failure to adequately warn consumers results in harm to an individual, our product liability attorneys can fight for compensation for the losses incurred by the injured party.

 

Dog Bites
Dog bites represent a major source of injury and loss to thousands of individuals across the country every year. Medical bills, lost work time, rehabilitation, and even fatalities are just some of the consequences of dog bite injuries. Dealing with these and other financial and emotional costs of a dog bite injury can sometimes overwhelm a victim or his/her loved ones.

It's a dog owner's responsibility to keep their pet from hurting people, and when that duty is not met, the owner can be held liable for the damages.

 

At Gross, Shuman, Brizdle & Gilfillan, P.C., our personal injury lawyers have extensive experience with dog bite cases and we will fight to ensure your legal rights are protected.

 

Elevator Injuries
We usually take the safety of the buildings we inhabit or visit for granted, but elevator injuries are much more common than one might think. Thousands of New York residents are hurt in elevators that malfunction: for instance, stopping at the wrong height, elevator doors trapping an individual, sudden and violent moves, fires, getting stuck between floors, and more.

 

The physical injuries and even emotional trauma of an elevator accident can result in significant losses, and the owner and management of the building in which such an accident occurs may be held liable for compensating the victim(s).

 

Sports-Related Injuries
Millions of adults and children play sports at their universities, schools, churches and temples, recreation centers, YMCA and other settings. When a sports-related injury occurs, it may be an unavoidable mishap, or it may be due to hazardous conditions, unsafe sports equipment, the negligent behavior or intentional harm of another player, or a number of other reasons.

 

Our experienced personal injury lawyers can advise you as to whether a given sports-related injury may form the basis of a legal action to seek financial redress from an organization such as a school district, city, or a private party.
