INJURY ATTORNEY
Laskin Law P.C.
Laskin Law is helping the injured get the most compensation from their accident or medical malpractice claim.
Auto Accidents
As a plaintiffs-only accident injury law firm, lawyer Michelle Laskin fights to get our clients the largest settlement or verdict possible to pay for the cost of medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering associated with their car accident injuries.
Any accident can result in a serious injury — pedestrians and bicyclists are particularly vulnerable as their bodies are more exposed. Drivers and passengers in cars can also be very seriously injured in high-speed or heavy-impact accidents. Many children are seriously injured by inattentive drivers who don't see them while they are playing or due to unsafe school transportation practices
Wrongful Death
Unfortunately, some accidents are so serious that they become fatal. A fatal accident can be not only emotionally devastating, but also financially devastating to the victim's family. Loss of current and future income and medical benefits may leave a grieving family unable to make ends meet.
When people die unexpectedly, the effect on family and friends is both emotional and financial. Not only have you lost the emotional support and companionship of a family member, you have also lost that person's financial contributions to your family.
If you have lost a loved one due to the reckless or negligent acts of another person, you may have a wrongful death claim against that person. While no amount of money can make up for the death of a loved one, money can help alleviate the financial stress you may be under as a result of his or her accidental death.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is the professional negligence of a doctor, hospital or other medical care provider. Hundreds of thousands of patients a year have been injured or killed as a result of this professional negligence. Michelle Laskin of Laskin Law has over 25 years of experience representing plaintiffs and estates in medical malpractice cases. Her vast experience runs the gamut from brain damaged baby cases, failure to diagnose cancer cases, surgical mishaps, improper diagnoses, wrongful death and nursing home neglect. Ms. Laskin has a vast array of medical experts at her disposal whom she consults with throughout the litigation of these matters.
Slip & Fall Injury
A slip and fall injury is a common occurrence which can result in a serious injury or even death. Not only are landlords responsible for their property, many of these cases involve municipalities such as The City of New York as well. With her vast experience, attorney Michelle Laskin knows the need to act quickly in these cases to protect the rights of those injured.
