Areas of Practice
Manheimer
& Charnas LLP concentrates its legal practice in helping seriously
injured victims and their families recover fair and just
compensation for all types of
serious accidents and other claims arising from the negligence of others.
We have successfully represented victims of serious brain injury,
disfiguring burns, paralysis, blindness, fractures, and a variety of
other life-altering injuries
CONSTRUCTION SITE ACCIDENTS:
If someone is performing construction, renovation, alteration
rehabilitation and repair of a building or structure and is injured
due to the lack of a safe workplace they may have the right to bring
a claim against the owner or general contractor who has a duty to
enforce safety on the job and to provide a safe workplace.
NAIL GUN ACCIDENTS:
Nail guns on construction sites are often unintentionally
fired-whether from “double fire” or when the operator accidentally
brushes the tip of the gun against himself or a bystander. The
injured person may have a valid claim against the gun manufacturer,
as the gun may lack a simple safety device that prevents such
accidents from happening.
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS:
When someone is injured through the use of a motor vehicle, whether
as a driver, passenger or pedestrian, the firm will help them not
only obtain the no-fault benefits they are entitled to but commence
a lawsuit against the responsible party to recover for their
personal injuries.
TRIP AND FALLS:
People are entitled to safe streets, walkways and building stairs,
common areas free of holes, defects and tripping hazards. If you are
injured due to a trip and fall as a result of such a condition we
can help you bring a lawsuit against the owner of the property and
the one who is responsible for maintenance of the affected area.
ELEVATOR ACCIDENTS:
If you are injured due to an accident occurring as a result of a
defective elevator such as falling due to the mis-leveling of the
elevator or some other defective condition you may have the right to
bring a lawsuit against both the elevator maintenance company and
the owner of the premises where the elevator was located.
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE:
If you or a family member has received improper medical care, and
has been injured or damaged as a result, we will investigate your
claim with experts in the particular medical field involved. We will
bring a claim on your behalf against the responsible hospital or
medical professional.
NURSING HOME NEGLIGENCE AND MALPRACTICE:
When we trust the care of elderly family members to a nursing home,
we expect them to be treated with the dignity and level of care that
they deserve. When your family member is neglected, or worse,
intentionally harmed, we will step in to investigate the claim, and
to hold the responsible nursing home legally liable for the harm it
causes.
SIDEWALK AND ROADWAY ACCIDENTS:
Residents are entitled to safe streets and roadways free of long-standing
defective conditions. If you are injured as a result of this type of
claim, you may, depending on which state you are in, have the right
to sue the municipality or state involved. However, you must act
fast, as some states provide a very limited time in which to bring
such a claim. We can help you to protect your legal right to sue, if
you consult us in a timely manner.
TRAIN AND BUS ACCIDENTS:
If the rider of a subway or bus is injured due to the negligent
operation of the subway or bus a claim can be brought against the
Agency that operated the train or bus. Time limits will apply so you
should contact us as soon as possible after the accident.
PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS:
If you, a member of your family or someone you know is injured due
to a defective product we can help investigate the claim to see if a
lawsuit can be brought against the manufacturer, wholesaler and/or
retailer of the product.
