Experienced Lawyer in New York City

Nursing Home Injuries ◊ Home Health Care ◊ Construction Accidents ◊ Medical Malpractice

At the Law Office of Hyman & Platt, P.C., in Dobbs Ferry (lower Westchester County just a few miles north of New York City), we have decades of experience representing people throughout the New York City metropolitan area who have suffered injuries or lost loved ones as a result of the carelessness and negligence of others. We have been among the leaders in helping to make it less burdensome to receive compensation from a city due to its negligence. We have "fought city hall" and won. We have also accepted cases that other attorneys rejected and we have won.

Over the past decade, we have been one of the few firms in New York State to concentrate our practice on representing the victims, many of whom are elderly, of neglect and abuse in nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living facilities, and home care settings.

We intentionally keep our practice small, carefully choosing the cases we handle, so that we can devote our full attention to each and every individual client. We can help you get the results you need through a negotiated settlement, or through aggressive pursuit of your claim in court, if necessary, to protect your rights and interests.

Our Practice

We handle all matters related to personal injury claims involving:

• Nursing home injuries: We work with individuals or their families who have suffered personal injury as a result of neglect or abuse by nursing homes. We handle all types of claims, from bed sores, falls, broken bones, and head injuries to medication errors and wrongful death.
• Hospital injuries: Just as neglect, negligence, or abuse can happen in a nursing home, it can happen in a hospital, too. We prosecute cases on behalf of people who have suffered serious injuries in hospitals such as bed sores, falls leading to fractures and head injuries, medication errors and overdoses, and pulmonary embolism.
• Home health care: We also protect the rights of people who have health care provided in their own homes, handling all types of claims involving neglect, abuse or carelessness leading to bed sores, fractures, falls, hospitalizations, and death.
• Assisted Living injuries: We handle cases of negligence, malpractice, neglect, or abuse on behalf of persons who are or were in an assisted living facility or program resulting in falls, bed sored, fractures, head trauma, elopement, death, and other serious injuries.
• Construction accidents: We handle a broad range of claims involving construction site injuries, including scaffold accidents, trips, slips, and falls, falling objects, and failure to provide a safe work environment.
• Medical malpractice: We will help you recover for negligence by medical professionals, including childbirth injuries, OB-GYN trauma, or a misdiagnosis or mistreatment of an illness or injury.
• Auto accidents: We handle personal injury claims resulting from car, truck, and motorcycle collisions.
• Premises liability: We will help you recover compensation for injuries suffered in slips, trips or falls on another person's property.
