Construction

Her expertise in highly technical N.Y. Labor Laws has made Linda the counsel of choice for plaintiffs and defendants, in cases involving workers falling from buildings, scaffolds and ladders, sustaining grave and catastrophic injury and death during construction accidents. As defense counsel, Linda has had her clients dismissed from actions where others were forced to pay millions of dollars. When representing the injured party, Linda has used her knowledge to maximize her client's recovery.
 
Sexual Misconduct
Linda successfully litigated against therapists and psychiatrists that engaged their patients in sexual relationships and against employers that sexually harassed employees together with the companies that permitted the misconduct and/or retaliated against the employee. The cases ended favorably for the client due to an understanding of the victim and knowledge of this highly complex area of the law.
 
Automobile
Linda's first trials were automobile accidents and she has tried cases involving cars, trucks, taxis, drivers, passengers, pedestrians, police cars, ambulances, buses and garbage trucks. Thorough investigation of the accident scene and research into the injury and medicine is Linda's personal approach to winning in each case.
 
 

Medical Malpractice

Most attorneys represent only doctors or patients. Linda has done both, giving her far greater insight into the kinds of strategy that are likely to come from opposing counsel. Linda's medical knowledge and ability to cross examine convey the facts to the jurors in a common sense way that they can understand. She carefully screens the records of injured patients to decide whose lawsuits she is willing to accept. As a result, her clients have received substantial recoveries.
 
Premises Liability
Linda has successfully handled trip and fall, slip and fall, and sidewalk accident cases, for plaintiffs and defendants. She has tried cases where guests were injured by spilled hot food or bouncers and security personnel, assaults at cash machines, in hotel rooms, and in apartment buildings. She has handled cases involving defective plumbing and flooding, entry doors, windows, air conditioners, elevators, ceiling collapses, play areas and construction.
 
Products Liability
Linda has handled products liability cases involving gas explosions, electricity malfunctions, collapsing chairs, lawnmowers, punch presses, drills, motorized saws, sanitation truck hoppers, garbage compactors and flammable fabrics. These cases involved severe burns, loss of hands, fingers, toes, facial injuries and life long coma. Her knowledge of the particular ANSI standards and OSHA regulations and competence have led to her being asked to lecture to attorneys on this subject.
