Medical Malpractice

Doctors in Manhattan and around the country are held to a higher standard of care than most people because of the special relationship between physicians and patients. Under the law, they must always use the level of care that another physician in the same field would use in the same situation. When they fall below this “standard of care” and cause harm to a patient, the patient has the right to file a lawsuit that alleges negligence. Parker Waichman’s attorneys are committed to helping injured patients recover for the ways they have been harmed and to holding doctors accountable for their actions. Medical negligence cases in Manhattan can be complicated, but our lawyers are tremendously thorough in investigating and litigating claims for our clients to be sure we achieve the best outcome possible. Call our firm today if you have a potential medical malpractice case in Manhattan.

Labor Law

In Manhattan, construction workers are protected by three state laws that apply specifically to safety on job sites. New York Labor Law Sections 200, 240, and 241 require construction project owners, managers, and contractors to provide and maintain safe job sites for workers. These laws also give workers the right to sue for injuries in the absence of a safe site. The attorneys at Parker Waichman LLP are extremely knowledgeable in state labor laws and will advocate for workers who suffer injuries because of an owner, manager, or contractor negligence. Contact our office today if you were involved in a construction accident due to unsafe conditions on the job site.

How Do I Get My Police Report in Manhattan?

In the hours following an accident or arrest, a police report is generated by the investigating Manhattan police officer. Once the report has been generated a “public portion” of the report is available immediately. The public portion of the police report withholds information until the case is completely closed. Once the case has wrapped up, you or your attorney can talk to your local Manhattan police precinct to obtain a copy of the full police report. How you are able to get your report varies depending on the preference of the precinct. Some prefer to do it electronically, others via mail, and others in person. Regardless, there may be a waiting period and your precinct may charge a fee to request a copy of the police report.
