A huge skill for every lawyer to get what he/she n A huge skill for every lawyer to get what he/she needs and to get tasks done is having a great mentor or source for information and being great at following up. Here’s how and why.
It’s ALWAYS up to you, the client, what lawyer o It’s ALWAYS up to you, the client, what lawyer or law firm you want to represent you. You can change lawyers at anytime.  
We have been asked on many occasions to take over representation of clients at all stages of a case, from pre-lawsuit to right before trial.  
With that said, this is something we take VERY seriously and we don’t do it unless it’s absolutely necessary.  
If you’re feeling frustrated with your lawyer for any reason, you should always try to have a meaningful conversation with them first. Most times you will find that one conversation will go a long way and the issues will be resolved. If not, then yes of course, you should find a lawyer that you feel very comfortable with.  
Hopefully this is an issue you never have to deal with.  
Be safe.

Although it’s been a little while it’s time to Although it’s been a little while it’s time to officially announce that Aaron Tabak is the newest attorney at Segal Law Firm.  
 
Aaron interned at SLF all through his time in law school and recently graduated. He will be licensed to practice in New York and New Jersey to start.  
 
Aaron knows the SLF core values well and was working with us at trials since his intern days. He is far ahead of the game but what we love most about Aaron is that he remains hungry to learn and help our clients feel heard and of course…WIN! 
 
Aaron is in this field of law for the right reasons and we are very excited about what he adds to the firm!

Mediation can be a valuable tool in getting a case Mediation can be a valuable tool in getting a case resolved. But both clients and attorneys need to know what to expect and how to handle them. In the end, you still want to make sure you get full justice which is reflected in a fair monetary settlement that compensates you for your damages for all time. #justiceserved #slfwins
DO NOT let the fact you had a prior injury to a bo DO NOT let the fact you had a prior injury to a body part stop you from contacting a lawyer when an incident causes a re-injury to that body part!

This was a tough case because there was no surveil This was a tough case because there was no surveillance video and we could not prove who threw the bottle (or corroborate that a bottle in fact hit our client). But through taking some key depositions we were able to show the insurance company involved that they would be taking a big risk going to trial. Often times dental injuries are severely undervalued so a lot of hard work was done getting this settlement into the six figures. Happy we were able to achieve this result for such a sweet and amazing client. #justiceserved #segalwins #slfwins
A big insurance company trick is trying to get you A big insurance company trick is trying to get you to give them a recorded statement soon after your incident. Despite what they tell you, this is not for your benefit. It is for theirs. Don’t do it. Call a lawyer immediately and then you will not have to speak with the insurance company again. SLF is here if you need us. #justiceserved #slfwins

 ⁣
Recent studies have shown that some of the chemicals found in hair straightener and relaxer products could be contributing factors in increased risk of developing cancer. ⁣
 ⁣
The specific types of cancers linked to these products cause are UTERINE, ENDOMETRIAL, and OVARIAN cancer. ⁣
 ⁣
BLACK WOMEN as well as LATIN WOMEN, are at the HIGHEST RISK with regard to these products as they use these products frequently - around four+ times a year. ⁣
 ⁣
Cancer! Through the use of cheap chemicals which these manufacturers surely could have avoided using. But of course they chose money over responsibility and the health of their customers.  ⁣
 ⁣
This level of injury is absolutely unacceptable as we MUST hold the manufacturers of these products ACCOUNTABLE.  ⁣
 ⁣
If you or a loved one has used a hair relaxer or straightener and was diagnosed with Uterine, Ovarian or Endometrial cancer, please contact us immediately for a NO COST consultation. ⁣

Medical Malpractice issues are some of the most co Medical Malpractice issues are some of the most common types of new case calls we receive.⁣
⁣
As great as our medical treatment facilities typically are, unfortunately, a lot does go wrong, especially at hospitals.⁣
⁣
Medical malpractice means that a healthcare professional deviated from accepted standards in providing medical care. He or she didn’t do everything they were supposed to when treating you or overseeing your care.⁣
⁣
Some of the more common malpractice cases involve birthing injuries to the mother or baby, surgical errors, medication errors, failure to diagnose diseases like cancer, misdiagnosing issues, improper transfusions, leaving surgical devices in a body, lack of informed consent and many more.⁣
⁣
We seek to hold ER staff, Doctors, Surgeons, Anesthesiologists, Nurses, PA’s and even the hospital administration accountable for these errors.⁣
⁣
Its important that if you think you or a loved one has been a victim of medical malpractice, that you seek out a free consultation with a lawyer you can trust RIGHT AWAY.⁣
⁣
Time deadlines may be approaching. For example, in NY where the statute of limitations is typically 3 years for other negligence, for medical malpractice you will generally only have 2.5 years form the date of the medical error, with some exceptions.⁣
⁣
Please stay safe and be active in your medical treatment to minimize the potential for you to be a victim medical malpractice. ⁣
⁣
Segal Law Firm is always available for you.⁣

Its always scary when a giant tractor trailer driv Its always scary when a giant tractor trailer drives next to you speeding down the highway.  
 
Its because we can all simply FEEL how dangerous these trucks are. They are big and fast enough to generate such incredible force that they can easily crush whatever comes in their path.  
 
Unfortunately, Segal Law Firm has represented clients whose car has been crushed completely by a truck from a massive impact, and even clients whose car was totaled by truck that simply side swiped them in slower traffic conditions.  
 
The injuries these truck accident cause are nearly always catastrophic.  
In NYC tuck accident are far more common than most think - there are dozens of truck accidents EVERY single day.  
 
They are often caused by distracted drivers, speeding, construction or accidents on the roadway, traffic conditions, drivers that are too aggressive and others. Often times the truck driver and the trucking company are not complying with Federal Regulations.  
 
If you are or a loved one is ever a victim of a truck accident you will want to call a lawyer with experience handling them. Please do the appropriate research to find someone you trust. 
 
Segal Law Firm would be honored to help you through such a difficult time should it arise.

⁣
⁣
Taking the bus is a great option especially for those who want to be above ground.
But unfortunately, problems and accident often occur on buses - they are not always as safe as we think!⁣
⁣
This goes for any type of bus including school buses and tour buses. 
While Bus drivers have special training and need additional licensing, their job is still extremely difficult.⁣
⁣
Drivers often experience issues of inexperience, distraction, fatigue among other potential problems.⁣
Accidents can happen when drivers brake too aggressively, make an unsafe turn, fail to yield correctly, and a host of other events. 
Segal Law Firm has handled many bus cases that occurred in all sorts of ways.⁣
⁣

Airline/Airplane accidents are quite possibly the Airline/Airplane accidents are quite possibly the #1 thing we all try to block out as something that could never happen to us. It’s so scary to even think about.⁣
⁣
Unfortunately, they do happen, and they occur more than we know. I learned this while working for one of the most famous airplane accident attorneys.⁣
⁣
They can be caused by things like defective parts, bad weather, pilot or mechanical error, maintenance issues and even terrorism.⁣
⁣
The number of crashes typically decline each year but most of them occur in general aviation flights and are fatal.⁣
⁣
Most importantly, a majority of them could have been avoided. These cases involve federal regulations and complex issues.⁣
⁣
And so, if you or a loved one is ever unfortunate enough to experience this horrific type of event, please make sure that you immediately contact a trustworthy attorney, to help and to fight for you.⁣

It’s seems too common in the news to see a fire It’s seems too common in the news to see a fire or gas explosion rock a whole building or neighborhood. 

When they happen, they often cause THE most devastating im type of injury - serious burns, among other catastrophic injuries.

Often times these explosions and fires occur from gas, steam, manhole or pipe explosions. Or when a fire producing element is left in a flammable surrounding.

These fires and explosions can occur anywhere. Under a roadway, at a construction site, in a home with a defective propane tank, in vehicles,
or in residential and commercial buildings. 

Lawsuits surrounding these incidents are complex and the stakes are always very high. 

If you or a loved one is ever involved in such a serious and horrific incident please do now wait to immediately contact a lawyer who will fight for you and who you can trust.

I want to tell you 6 red flags to look out for whe I want to tell you 6 red flags to look out for when it comes to your personal injury attorney.  
 
Like every profession, there are great lawyers and there are weak lawyers.  
 
When it comes to personal injury matters, who you hire as a lawyer can be the difference between a loss and maximum justice.  
 
The good news is that it is ALWAYS a client’s choice as to who his/her lawyer is. So, if you discover that your lawyer is not doing a GREAT job for you, can you change your representation.  

I  am proud to work alongside amazing lawyers in NY, who I continue to learn from. However, I also want to ensure that anyone in need of justice, will have a lawyer who is maximizing their chances of it. 
 
The 6 red flags, explained in this video are as follows (below is what you need to see): 
1. Your lawyer actually communicates with you directly 
2. Your lawyer is actively listening to YOU 
3. Your lawyer and his/her staff know your case details 
4. Your lawyer wants to develop your case, not just quickly settle it 
5. Your lawyer does not miss deadlines, and is proactive not reactive 
6. Your lawyer tells you the truth no matter how hard it is to hear 
 
As I always say, injury victims are at low point in their life. You must find a lawyer you trust.  
 
We are always here listen to you and provide counsel  
 
Be safe.

What Should Be Taught in Law School that Isn’t?🎓⚖️

Is there anything else you think should be taught in Law School that currently is not?

Let us know in the comments, let’s have a discussion!

#lawyersofinstagram #personalinjurylawyer #lawyer #lawschool #nyc #nycpersonalinjurylawyer #segallawfirm
𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧, especially here in New York where construction activity is so common you don’t even notice it.  
 
Some of the worst injuries we see are from construction site accidents.  
 
Because of this, New York has strong Labor Laws in place in attempt to provide for safer construction sites and rights of the construction workers to bring lawsuits for injuries sustained on the job.  
 
As I share in this video, generally speaking, some of the key elements of these laws are: 
 
1) The requirement that construction site managers provide adequate protection from hazards for all construction workers 
 
2) The strict regulation of scaffolds and ladders that protect workers from gravity-related injuries such as the worker falling from them… or from materials falling from above and striking the worker 
 
3) Providing 𝐀𝐃𝐃𝐄𝐃 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 at sites requiring excavation, demolition, or overall construction work.  
 
Property owners and contractors working on a site have a responsibility to maintain the site in a safe condition. Yet, we see common construction site accidents routinely, such as: 
 
Falls and falling objects, scaffolding collapses, and equipment and machinery malfunctions. 
 
If you are the victim of a construction site accident, make sure to seek medical attention immediately an then consult with an attorney that you feel you can trust so they can immediately start an investigation.  
 
The statute of limitations on a construction site accident case in NY is 3 years.  
 
Lastly, here is my plea to all construction workers - 𝐃𝐎 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐘 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐘 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐫 or a contractor giving you proper safety equipment or safe directives. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐮𝐩𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.  

While of course your paycheck is critical to your livelihood, 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡, and you will not be able to work with a serious injury.

What does it mean to say our clients are treated l What does it mean to say our clients are treated like family?

You hear a lot of companies say it - but do they do it?

It's quite simply applying The Golden Rule 

We treat ALL clients as if they were any of our mother, sister, grandfather, son, etc. 

How would we want our mothers to be treated by their lawyer? 

Constant communication. Empathy. Patience. Kindness. Respect. Listening. Fighting for them.

This type of relationship is great but we need the results too. 

Our relationship with our clients, coupled with our relentless work ethic and passion, then allows us to get the best result possible for our clients. 

This is our "secret recipe" for massive success. Repeated over and over for every single client no matter the size of their case.

Please feel free to contact us is any way you wish.

How are injury lawsuits for children handled? 
 
These cases are hard to even think about. But unfortunately, children are often the victims of negligent acts and suffer damages just the same as adults.  
 
It is even more critical for a parent of guardian to pursue legal action for children as they will suffer the consequences of their injuries for longest amount of time.  
 
In this video, I discuss the most important key points of injury lawsuits for children.  
 
First, the statute of limitations is typically paused until 3 years after their 18th birthday to ensure there is time to bring the case.  
 
Second, after the lawsuit is resolved with a settlement a judge will have to approve the settlement. This is to ensure the that the child’s best interests are protected. 
 
Lastly, when a child is involved the identity of the child on public filings is kept confidential. 
 
If your child is ever injured, please do EXTRA due diligence and find a lawyer you can trust AND who cares.  
 
Segal Law Firm is always here if you need us. Especially for any child. 
 
Be safe.

Today, the Governor of New York will officially si Today, the Governor of New York will officially sign into law The Adult Survivors Act which will allow ADULT survivors of sexual assault and abuse to file civil suits against their abusers and the institutions that protected them. 
 
The Act creates a one-year look back window for survivors to file civil suits for abuse that occurred after the age 18, regardless of when the original statute of limitations on their case expired. 
 
As we know time flies and this 1 year period will go quickly. 
 
As I said in this video, if you were a victim of sexual abuse (as a child or an adult), I hope you can find the courage to contact a lawyer you can trust to hold these people accountable and to get the justice you deserve. 
 
Remember your information will always be kept strictly confidential. 
 
Please do not hesitate to contact me directly. 
 
Be well.

It pains us to hear about people who disqualify TH It pains us to hear about people who disqualify THEMSELVES from pursuing a claim or lawsuit because they think since they were partially at fault they would lose.  
  
In most states, this is WRONG!  
  
Many incidents are not so cut and dry as to 1 party being 100% at fault. Juries often find both parties at fault. And that is ok.  
  
The law of most states provides for some sort of determination as to comparative fault meaning you can still recover even if you’re partially at fault.  
  
In NY we have what’s called a PURE comparative fault rule. So, if you are partially responsible than the amount you can recover for your damages will simply be lowered by the percentage of your fault, no matter how great that percentage is.  
  
If you are injured in any type of incident just call a lawyer you can trust. Let a professional with relevant experience determine if you have a valid case of not.  
  
DO NOT disqualifying yourself from a recovery for your damages, for absolutely no reason.  
  
Be safe.

What can you recover from a personal injury lawsui What can you recover from a personal injury lawsuit??  
 
Possibly the most important question you have after a life changing incident occurs and you are panic stricken with questions like “how am I going to pay my bills if I cannot work now!?” 
 
You can recover general non-economic damages like pain and suffering. This includes the loss of enjoyment of life, scarring and disfigurement, emotional and mental distress, and even loss of companionship of a loved one. 
 
You can recover economic damages which can be calculated mathematically. Things like past and future medical expenses, medical devices or equipment that you may need, and lost wages or loss of earning capacity from time of the accident into the future.  
 
You can also recover for other out of pocket expenses like costs for home care or travel to and from doctors. 
 
Your damages will be unique to your case! 
 
That is why it is CRITICAL that your lawyer understands what exactly YOU specifically are going through. 
 
So, if you are ever involved in an injury causing incident, find a lawyer you can trust and be fully open and honest with him or her, so they know your specific situation. 
 
Segal Law Firm is always here to guide and counsel you.  
 
Stay safe.

A trial term we hear a lot is BURDEN OF PROOF.  A trial term we hear a lot is BURDEN OF PROOF. 
 
Perhaps no concept is more critical to justice being served at a trial. 
 
So, it is critical for all potential jurors to understand it. 
 
The burden of proof refers to which party – either the defendant or the plaintiff – has the responsibility of showing evidence to prove their claim. 
 
The STANDARD of the burden of proof is what we often hear about because its drastically different in a criminal case as opposed to a civil case, like a personal injury matter. 
 
The criminal case standard – beyond a reasonable doubt – is a very high burden and hard to achieve. 
 
In a civil case, using NY as an example, the standard - a preponderance of the evidence - is simply that it is slightly more likely than not.  It can be as slight of an edge as 50.1% versus 49.9%. 
 
That is all it takes for a plaintiff to prove her case successfully. 
 
And if the defendant wants to pass blame to the plaintiff, its critical to know that the defendant must PROVE with the burden of proof that the plaintiff actually did something unreasonable or wrong. The defendant cannot just assert “the plaintiff could have turned her wheel before defendant crossed over the double yellow lines and struck her.” 
 
So, when you are on a jury in a civil case, please remember that you only need to hold the plaintiff to the much lesser civil burden of proof standard – that is more likely than not – than the extremely high burden of a criminal trial. 
 
AND please make sure your fellow jurors do the same. FULL AND FAIR justice absolutely depends on this. 
 
Stay safe please. And know we are here if you need us.
It's easy for lawyers to assume that someone will It's easy for lawyers to assume that someone will know if they have a viable lawsuit when they have an incident that caused an injury.  
  
The truth is so many people disqualify THEMSELVES and don't pursue a claim for completely WRONG reasons.  
  
The average person has no clue whether or not their facts can be the basis for a negligence lawsuit.  
  
So, while it's not necessary to know the specifics of the law, a general understanding of negligence lawsuits will help this issue so that everyone can get the justice they deserve.  
  
The 4 elements of a negligence claim are 
 
-A DUTY existed 
-A BREACH of THIS DUTY occurred 
-This breach CAUSED damages  
-Proof of your DAMAGES  
 
If you were hurt by the negligence of another, this is what you will need to prove.  
  
It is ALWAYS best to simply call an experienced lawyer that you trust for a no-cost consultation to see if you have a case.  
  
DO NOT DISQUALIFY YOURSELF. Be smart. And stay safe.
