DUI/DWI
Punitive damages: The courts only award punitive or exemplary damages to victims in cases where the defendant’s negligence was particularly reckless or when it was wanton, such as in a drunk driving accident or an act of violence. These damage awards punish the defendant for and prevent future misconduct.
Wrongful Death
It’s devastating to lose a loved one, and when the death is a result of someone else’s negligence, family members are left feeling angry, frustrated, helpless and possibly worried about financial consequences. If you have suffered a loss due to another’s negligence, consult with a Long Island wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible to begin working toward an injury claim. An experienced injury lawyer can help hold the negligent party responsible and ensure that you know what to expect at each step of the legal process. En Español.
Traffic Violations
Comparative negligence means that the injured party’s damages are reduced to reflect their own carelessness – in this case, not using a helmet. However, if the victim can show that the other motorist caused the accident through reckless driving, some compensation can still be obtained. The pursuit of such damages can be best accomplished by working with a seasoned lawyer.
Sex Crimes
A sexual assault is defined as being the victim of any unwanted physical contact. This includes touching, fondling, molestation, or rape. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of people fall victim to sexual assaults each and every year. Victims of sexual assaults are exposed to immense amounts of physical and emotional damage. Because of such trauma, people often feel too ashamed and frightened to speak about their horrific experiences. Experts estimate that approximately 80 percent of sexual assault victims are hesitant about disclosing that they have been assaulted. At Goldstein and Bashner, our Long Island sexual assault lawyers want to provide victims with competent and compassionate legal guidance so that they can be assisted through a truly difficult and challenging time.
Misdemeanors
Before the passage of this bill, child survivors of sexual abuse had until the age of 23 to bring forth a civil case. To bring a felony or misdemeanor child sex abuse case, the victim would have until they were 28 or 25 respectively. With the passage of The Child Victims Act, changes to the statute of limitations benefit the victims.
Assault
Manslaughter
The captain—Were drugs or alcohol involved? Many legal prescription drugs come with the warning not to operate vehicles, as was the case back in 2003 when a Staten Island ferry captain fell asleep at the wheel after taking painkillers. Eleven people were killed in that accident, and the captain pled guilty to manslaughter.
Hit and Run
Our client was leaving her friend’s house when she fell over a concrete platform and steps which were abutting the side entrance door. There were no rails. We were able to show through our expert engineer that the steps were not in compliance with the New York City Building Code. The client fractured her arm with required surgery. We were able to successfully resolve her case because of the evidence we obtained.

Workers Compensation
Our client , a forty year old backhoe operator, was excavating a former gas station in the Bronx when a pile of dirt collapsed and flipped over his backhoe. He sustained very bad injuries to his ankle which required surgery. He was unable to go back to work and his only source of income was workers compensation. The case was brought even though the owner of the property had no insurance. In fact many lawyers may not have taken the case. Ultimately a settlement was reached in the mid-six figure range. What was unusual was that the defendant owner paid the award from his personal funds.
Sexual Harassment
Still, this method is the preferred one if the case involves sexual harassment since the court may order the payment of compensation in addition to any required changes to school policy. Title IX lawyers in Long Island represent students in these cases to file the claim and argue it in court.

Premises Liability
Whether your child is in a nursery, K through 9, high school or college, every school has a responsibility to keep its students safe while they are on its campus. When a school injury happens, it is important to keep good records, seek medical aid, and find a competent Long Island school injury lawyer who understands the laws and legal obligations concerning schools. These situations often seem daunting, but there are steps you can take with the help of a Long Island premises liability attorney to ensure that your child’s rights are protected.
Property Damage
Special damages compensate people for economic losses that can be objectively quantified, such as medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and other costs are all considered special damages. In contrast, general damages compensate an injured person for non-economic losses that are harder to value. These damages are usually for things like pain and suffering, loss of companionship, or emotional distress.

Personal Injury
Robert Bashner has been in the personal injury field since graduating Brooklyn Law School in 1987. Early in his career, he worked at a volume-oriented firm and gained valuable experience battling with defense lawyers on behalf of his injured clients. The pace was frantic and he enjoyed the challenge.
Medical Malpractice
When a child is in an accident, this same statute of limitations is put on hold and begins when the child turns 18. There are some exceptions to this involving medical malpractice lawsuits and cases against municipalities. It’s important to consult with a Long Island child injury attorney who can advise you about your specific case.
Auto Accidents
Dog Bites
Slip and Fall Injury
Falls can lead to a variety of injuries. Sometimes it is not immediately evident how serious the injury is, so it is important to visit a doctor if you feel any pain to ensure you get proper treatment. Some of the common slip and fall injuries that warrant contact with a Long Island attorney include...
