Car accidents can happen in an instant and leave lasting consequences — serious injuries, mounting medical bills, lost wages, and emotional trauma. New York’s no-fault insurance system can be confusing, and insurance companies will work hard to minimize your claim.
At Morrison & Wagner, we handle every aspect of your automobile accident case: investigating the crash, gathering evidence, dealing with insurers, and fighting for the full compensation you’re entitled to. We represent drivers, passengers, and cyclists injured by negligent or reckless drivers across New York.
Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces in New York. Falls from scaffolding, falling objects, electrocution, machinery accidents — the injuries can be catastrophic and permanent.
New York’s Labor Law provides powerful protections for construction workers, including the “Scaffold Law” which holds property owners and general contractors strictly liable for gravity-related accidents. Morrison & Wagner has extensive experience with New York construction accident law and has recovered millions for injured workers and their families.
When a doctor, hospital, or medical professional fails to meet the standard of care, the consequences can be devastating — permanent disability, worsening conditions, or even death. Medical malpractice cases are complex and require attorneys with deep experience and access to qualified medical experts.
Morrison & Wagner has successfully handled cases involving surgical errors, failure to diagnose, birth injuries, medication errors, and hospital negligence — including a $3 million settlement for a family whose child lost her hearing due to undiagnosed meningitis. We have the knowledge and resources to take on hospitals and healthcare systems.
New York City’s streets are dangerous for pedestrians. Being struck by a car, truck, or other vehicle while walking, crossing the street, or in a crosswalk can cause severe and life-altering injuries.
Pedestrian accident victims are often entitled to significant compensation from the at-fault driver’s insurance — and in some cases, from additional sources such as uninsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys fight aggressively to ensure you receive full compensation for your injuries, medical costs, and lost income.
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating. A wrongful death claim cannot undo that loss, but it can hold the responsible party accountable and help provide financial stability for the family left behind.
Morrison & Wagner handles wrongful death cases arising from accidents, medical malpractice, workplace incidents, and other forms of negligence. We pursue compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and the full emotional and financial impact of the loss.
Getting injured on the job can upend your life. Whether you work in an office, a warehouse, a restaurant, or a construction site, you have rights — and we will fight to protect them.
Our attorneys handle work-related injury claims involving unsafe conditions, employer negligence, and third-party liability. We work alongside your workers’ compensation claim where appropriate to maximize your total recovery for medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering.
If you’re injured at work, New York’s workers’ compensation system provides benefits for medical treatment and lost wages — but navigating it alone can be overwhelming. Claims are frequently denied or underpaid.
Our attorneys help injured workers understand their full rights, appeal denials, and ensure they receive every benefit they’re entitled to. We also identify situations where a third-party personal injury claim may be available in addition to workers’ comp, potentially increasing your total recovery significantly.
When you’re on someone else’s property — whether a store, apartment building, office, or public space — the owner owes you a duty of care. Negligent maintenance, poor lighting, defective stairs, ceiling collapses, and unsafe conditions can cause serious injury.
This includes slip and fall accidents, trip and falls on uneven pavement or broken surfaces, and any injury caused by a hazardous condition the property owner knew about or should have known about. Cases require moving fast — evidence disappears and conditions change.
We have a strong track record in premises liability cases, including a $4.58 million settlement for a Bronx tenant seriously injured due to a landlord’s failure to repair a hazardous
Traumatic brain injuries can result from car accidents, falls, construction incidents, or any blow to the head. The effects — cognitive impairment, memory loss, personality changes, chronic pain — can be permanent and profoundly affect every aspect of a person’s life.
TBI cases require extensive medical expertise and a thorough understanding of long-term damages. Our attorneys work with leading medical experts to document the full impact of your injury and fight for compensation that reflects the true cost of your recovery.
Ceiling collapses are a serious and preventable hazard, particularly in older New York City buildings with deferred maintenance. When a landlord or property owner fails to address water damage, structural deterioration, or known defects, they can be held liable for any injuries that result.
Our attorneys have experience handling ceiling collapse cases across New York and know how to establish liability against building owners, managers, and management companies.
Lead poisoning — particularly in children — can cause permanent developmental damage, learning disabilities, and serious health consequences. In New York, landlords are legally required to address lead paint hazards in buildings built before 1960.
If your child has been diagnosed with elevated blood lead levels due to conditions in your home or apartment, the property owner may be liable. Morrison & Wagner handles lead poisoning cases with the seriousness and urgency they demand.
When you are intentionally harmed by another person, you have the right to pursue both criminal and civil action. A civil assault and battery claim can result in compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering — separate from and in addition to any criminal proceedings.
In some cases, third parties such as property owners, security companies, or employers may also bear liability if they failed to provide adequate safety or supervision. Our attorneys evaluate every angle to maximize your recovery.
Elevators and escalators are required by law to be regularly inspected and maintained. When a malfunction, sudden drop, misleveling, or mechanical failure injures a passenger, building owners, management companies, and maintenance contractors may all face liability.
These cases often involve complex regulatory requirements and multiple responsible parties. Morrison & Wagner has the experience to navigate these claims and recover compensation for elevator and escalator injury victims.
Pool owners — whether residential, commercial, or municipal — are responsible for maintaining safe conditions and adequate supervision. Drownings, near-drownings, and slip and fall injuries at pools can result in severe injury or death.
If you or a loved one was injured at a swimming pool due to inadequate fencing, lack of supervision, defective equipment, or unsafe conditions, the owner may be liable. We handle these cases with the urgency and care they require.
Falls from ladders and scaffolds are among the leading causes of serious injury and death in the construction industry. New York’s Scaffold Law (Labor Law §240) provides strong protections for workers injured in height-related accidents, holding property owners and general contractors strictly liable.
Our attorneys are well-versed in New York’s Labor Law and have successfully represented workers injured in ladder and scaffold accidents across the city. If you’ve been injured in a fall at work, call us.
Children deserve a safe environment at school, camp, and on the playground. When institutions fail to provide adequate supervision, allow unsafe equipment to remain in use, or permit dangerous conditions to persist, they can be held responsible for the injuries that result.
We represent families whose children have been injured through institutional negligence or inadequate supervision. These cases require sensitivity and determination — both of which define our approach.
When a defective product — whether a consumer item, medical device, vehicle component, or industrial equipment — causes injury, the manufacturer, designer, or distributor may be liable. Products liability claims don’t require proving negligence; if the product was unreasonably dangerous, you may have a strong case.
Our attorneys have experience pursuing claims against manufacturers and corporations on behalf of individuals seriously injured by dangerous or defective products.
New York’s Labor Law provides some of the strongest worker protections in the country. In addition to the Scaffold Law, Labor Law §200 and §241 impose duties on property owners and contractors to maintain safe work sites and follow safety regulations.
When these laws are violated and a worker is injured, Morrison & Wagner knows how to build a compelling claim and pursue maximum compensation under New York’s robust worker protection framework.
Institutions and organizations that supervise others — schools, camps, youth programs, employers — have a legal duty to provide adequate oversight. When that duty is breached and someone is injured as a result, a claim for negligent supervision may be available.
These cases arise in a wide range of contexts, from child injuries at school to workplace accidents caused by undertrained or unmonitored employees. We evaluate each situation carefully to identify all liable parties.
