Personal injury lawsuits can be complicated affairs, but the definition of "personal injury" for the purposes of personal injury lawsuits is simple -- "personal injury"; is the wrongful injury of one person through the fault of another. At Antin, Ehrlich & Epstein, our firm is dedicated to ensuring that victims of personal injury receive the medical care they deserve to recover physically and emotionally, and the justice they deserve.
Injuries at construction sites are among the most common types of accidental personal injuries. Working with heavy equipment, whether below ground or high above it, leaves workers exposed to a variety of the serious injuries that occur on construction jobs or at construction sites.
Injuries from accidents involving motor vehicles, trucks, buses, motorcycles and cars occur every minute of every day. Sometimes, the injuries are apparent right away. Other times, it can take days before any injury manifests itself or the full effects set in. Then, the ordeal begins. You or your loved ones struggle with insurance companies, sift through a never-ending stack of paperwork, and spend time pursuing necessary medical treatments as medical bills multiply without knowing how they will be paid or who should be responsible.
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), often called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition. A major symptom of RSD is intense, continuous pain due to a severe injury. This condition is often caused by trauma related to an accident. If you have been involved in an accident and RSD or CRPS has developed to the site of the initial trauma, you should contact an attorney who is familiar with RSD or CRPS.
A person who recklessly or negligently causes the death of another can and should be held accountable. Any type of fatal personal injury or accident can be the basis of a wrongful death claim. Vehicle and construction accidents, negligence, and defective products are among the many causes of accidental deaths.
Property owners and occupants can be liable for injuries caused by a variety of hazardous conditions, including open excavations, uneven pavement, standing water, crumbling curbs, wet floors, uncleared snow, icy walks, falling objects, inadequate security, insufficient lighting, concealed holes or defects in chairs or benches.
An injury at work can be devastating. Lost wages and personal injury can make it even more difficult to pay medical bills and take care of your family, and dealing with your employer and its insurer can seem impossible. If you have been injured on the job, in addition to any workers’ compensation benefits you are entitled to, you may also be entitled to an award for your pain and suffering and other non-reimbursed expenses if a third party was at least partially at fault.

Deciding to entrust a loved one to the care of a nursing home can be a painful and difficult process, for obvious reasons. But it becomes even more so if that nursing home or assisted living facility has failed to provide the care expected or deserved. Nursing home abuse and neglect is a real problem, and one seemingly on the rise -- in any given year, one in four nursing homes is cited for causing injury or even death to people in its care.
Health care professionals including doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists, dentists, pharmacists, and hospital staff must abide by a standard of care in treating patients. Sometimes doctors and hospitals are reckless, negligent, or just make mistakes. Traumatic injuries and death can result from this negligent behavior. The medical malpractice lawyers at Antin, Ehrlich & Epstein help hold medical professionals responsible for their misconduct.
Product liability is an area of the law that holds manufacturers, retailers, suppliers and others responsible for injuries caused by their products. Many people, though, still remain uninformed about the effects defective products can have on their health, emotions and finances. The fact is that defective products can lead to severe injuries and, unfortunately, sometimes cost lives. The product liability lawyers at Antin, Ehrlich & Epstein understand the hardships and impact defective products can have on you and your relatives, and have the experience and determination to hold negligent parties responsible.
