Brooklyn Law Firm, Reibman & Weiner Protects Accident Victims from Ruthless Insurance Companies Who Refuse to Offer Full Compensation

According to the Federal Highway Administration, approximately 115 people die daily in car crashes. In the United States, that’s an average of over 6,000,000 car accidents annually. Thousands of people are either killed or injured in car accidents every 13 minutes.

Car accidents cost tax payers over 230 Billion dollars annually. It’s no wonder why so many families have been left financially crippled due to a bread winner of the family becoming disabled after a car accident.

Brooklyn Lawyers Reibman & Weiner are helping many accident victims and their families by fighting for their right to be “fully” compensated after a car accident.

Lawsuits to Recover Compensation for Suffering, Pain & Income Lost

In the case of Scott vs. Barone, Reibman & Weiner’s client, Mr. Scott, was sideswiped by a 35,000 pound truck while driving in his sedan on the Whitestone Bridge. The impact of the accident caused Mr. Scott’s car to rollover which left him trapped inside the vehicle causing him to suffer nerve damage and a fractured left arm.

Mr. Scott endured multiple surgeries in order to repair his arm and to reclaim full function of the nerves to his hand. Brooklyn Lawyers Reibman & Weiner thoroughly investigated Mr. Scott’s case and initiated a lawsuit and trial.

The insurance company for the truck driver and the insurance company of the truck company initially offered to settle for only $500,000. Reibman & Weiner continued the litigation until achieving a settlement for Mr. Scott in excess of $2,750,000. Although Mr. Scott lost the ability to use his left arm as fully as before the accident, he used a portion of his settlement money to launch his own successful small business.

Brooklyn Lawyers Reibman & Weiner have experience with many motor vehicle accident cases. Many accident victims believe the motor vehicle insurance term “No Fault” means accident victims automatically receive compensation for their injuries regardless of who is at fault during an accident.

To their dismay, it really means the victim may receive medical and a limited amount of lost income benefits from the responsible motor vehicle insurance company.

Even if the defendant driver is completely responsible for causing the accident, the victim’s injuries may not qualify one to recover compensation in a lawsuit.

Brooklyn lawyers Reibman & Weiner are committed to helping injured drivers, passengers and pedestrians involved in accidents get the monetary compensation they deserve after a motor vehicle accident.

Brooklyn Attorneys Marc Reibman & Steven Weiner

Marc Reibman is a graduate of the Boston University School of Law. He began practicing law in 1981 with the well known New York firm of Costello & Shea. At Costello & Shea, Marc handled medical malpractice, product liability and admiralty cases. In 1986, Marc left Costello & Shea to start his own firm representing personal injury victims at this current office location. Marc represents the victims of many different kinds of negligence including catastrophic motor vehicle accidents, construction site accidents, slip, trip, and fall cases, medical malpractice, and defective products. Marc takes pride in obtaining maximum settlements or jury verdicts for his clients. He has tried numerous cases where the jury reached a verdict in excess of a million dollars. Marc has the largest verdict in New York State for a short duration of pain and suffering. ($10,500,000.00 for two and a half minutes of suffering in an elevator death case). In many other cases the defendants have settled with Marc for millions of dollars without going to trial. Marc handles all phases of cases personally from the initial client interview to depositions, to court appearances and trials. Marc is most proud of obtaining jury verdicts or settlements for clients who were turned away by other firms because their case seemed to be too complicated or not sufficiently significant. Marc has a particular expertise in cases that require scientific or engineering analysis to understand the mechanism of injury. As a result of his hard work and the successful representation of his clients, a very large percentage of the firm’s clients are referred to the firm by former clients who were satisfied with the personal attention and care they received during the pendency of their lawsuits.

Brooklyn Lawyer

Steven Weiner began practicing law in 1990 at the large “Wall Street” firm of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan. Before Steven became a lawyer, he graduated from medical school and was a licensed practicing physician. Steven worked at Stroock for three years during which time he participated in complex product liability litigation and other areas of general practice litigation. Steven left Stroock to pursue his interest in helping individual people instead of representing large corporations. Steven joined Marc’s practice in 1993. Marc and Steven have established a successful partnership that builds on each other’s strengths. Because of his medical background, Steven is able to quickly read and analyze voluminous medical records — often finding significant evidence of malpractice or injury that would be difficult for an attorney without a medical background to find. Steven represents clients at all stages of litigation — from initial case evaluation and intake, to jury trial or settlement. Steven is particularly proud of his work in the area of civil rights and police brutality litigation. Steven has represented many people who have been unlawfully incarcerated, physically abused, or harassed by the police or other law enforcement authorities. Satisfied clients continue to refer others who have been injured through no fault of their own.

Bike Riders Must Observe Traffic Rules

The personal injury law firm of Reibman & Weiner recently obtained a $475,000.00 settlement for a man injured by a bicycle rider who ran into him in Central Park. As anyone who visits the park can tell you, there are cyclists dressed in racing gear riding around the Central Park Drives as though they are on a private training course. On the morning of this accident, the bike rider was a nationally ranked triathlete completing a training ride with two of his riding buddies. He was mounted on a $7,000 bicycle. As he approached the cross walk on the East Park Drive north of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, he estimated his speed at 18 mph during this “cool down lap.”
From 75 feet away, he spotted our client crossing the drive in the cross walk. The bike was not equipped with a simple $10.00 bell which would have warned our client of the fast approaching hazard. The biker testified he could have stopped in time to avoid the collision but didn’t even slow down. Instead he continued on instead of swerve away from the man in front of him, because that risked a crash with his riding buddies, he continued on the collision course leading to a heavy direct hit into our client. The force of the blow propelled our client about 20 feet. When he landed he fractured his pelvis, his hip and shoulder. He required two surgeries, months of rehabilitation and will require one additional surgery.
New York City traffic regulations classify bikes as vehicles required to adhere to the same rules of the road as cars. In addition, bikes must be equipped with a bell. The reason is bells are required is simple: they work. Studies have shown that a bicycle bell is a recognizable sound that alerts pedestrians and other cyclists to an oncoming bicycle. Had the rider in this case slowed or stopped from 75 feet away when he first saw our client, the accident would have been avoided. If he had continued but used a bell to warn our client as he stepped into the crosswalk, that too would have served to avoid the accident.
The bike rider, an investment bank professional had no insurance coverage and is paying the entire settlement from his own funds.
Reibman & Weiner is located at 26 Court Street, Brooklyn, New York.

Settlement in Medical Malpractice Medication Poisoning Death – Reibman & Weiner Case

The personal injury law firm of Reibman & Weiner announces settlement of medical malpractice case.  A prestigious Long Island Hospital and one of its attending doctors have agreed to a substantial monetary settlement, that they insist remain confidential, in a case stemming from the poisoning death of one of its patients.

The Hospital and doctor were caring for an elderly man after a routine surgical procedure.  The surgery went well but two days later, the patient had an acute attack of gout.  The doctor treating the patient had no experience treating gout and delegated the responsibility to a Hospital resident doctor in training.  That doctor ordered that the gout medication, colchicine, be administered in a dosage that was 7 times the safe limit.  Neither the Hospital pharmacy or the nursing staff questioned the order and the excessive dose of medication was given.

Within two days, the patient began experiencing signs and symptoms of colchicine poisoning.  None of the consulting specialists considered colchicine as the cause of the man’s altered and rapidly deteriorating condition.  He continued to receive an additional excess doses of the drug until just hours before he died.  The Hospital personnel and medical staff never informed the patient’s family that colchicine caused his deterioration or death.

A New York State Department of Health investigation uncovered the excessive dosage.  The Law Firm of Reibman & Weiner was hired to prosecute a medical malpractice lawsuit against those responsible for the medication error that caused the patient’s death.  The Hospital and doctor involved denied the allegations.  In pretrial testimony, the doctors involved all claimed they knew nothing about colchicine and, even after the patient died, never investigated the use of colchicine or the cause of their own patient’s death.

Reibman & Weiner pursued the action in the face of these constant denials of responsibility and prepared the case for trial.  As the jury was seated and prepared the hear the evidence, the Hospital and attending doctor offered a substantial sum to settle the case.  The man’s family was present in Court and agreed to the settlement rather than relive the pain and suffering that their loved one experienced before his death.

Reibman & Weiner is located at 26 Court Street, Brooklyn, New York.  The firm is conveniently located in downtown Brooklyn, easily accessible by subway to the Court Street/Borough Hall station or to Jay Street.  Reibman & Weiner handle lawsuits in all New York City courts, including Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond County, Staten Island.  Reibman & Weiner also handle cases in Westchester, Orange, Nassau and other New York counties and has an active Federal practice in both the Southern District of New York in Manhattan and the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn.
