Peter DeFilippis & Associates are proud of what we do and proud of the people we have the privilege to represent. Our law firm's Practice Areas include:
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice causes hundreds of thousands of injuries and deaths in the United States annually. The term medical malpractice refers to a physician's failure, either due to negligence or error, to provide a patient with the accepted standard of care, thereby causing a patient to suffer harm and losses.
If you have been seriously injured by the negligent actions of a doctor, insurance company, hospital, therapist, nurse, or other medical professionals, it may be important to contact an attorney who can help you protect your legal rights. We have the experience, knowledge, and skill to assist you in determining if you do in fact have a legitimate medical malpractice claim.
Personal Injury
Personal injury attorneys and lawyers typically represent clients (plaintiffs) who have been injured either financially or physically due to the fault of another. At Peter DeFilippis & Associates we handle nearly every type of personal injury - from car accidents, and wrongful death to product liability.
Our cases are handled on a contingency fee basis meaning our firm does not charge a legal fee until we are successful in obtaining compensation for you, our client. Litigation costs and expenses are advanced by the firm and reimbursed when your case settles or after a trial and judgment.
Accidents
A serious injury or the accidental death of a loved one can be devastating emotionally, physically and financially. It is a vulnerable time as you try to navigate the road to recovery. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, you should talk to an experienced New York City and/or Westchester County Personal Injury attorney as soon as possible.
We have won fair and just compensation in thousands of verdicts and settlements for those hurt or killed in a wide variety of different types of accidents. We have established a reputation for maximizing the compensation clients receive for their injuries and for minimizing the hassles of pursuing a claim.
As with any case, the facts of each incident have to be carefully reviewed to determine whether or not the case is meritorious. If however, you feel that you have been harmed by the negligent act or omission of someone else, please contact us for a complete review and evaluation of your case. Our telephone numbers are 914-478-7777 and 212-227-4001.
Labor and Employment Law
You work hard for your employer. In turn, your employer should work hard to see that you are treated with the dignity and respect that you deserve. We handle discrimination cases, including age, disabilities, national origin, race, religion, retaliation, sex, and gender.
Product Liability
Have you or a loved one been injured by a faulty product? Learn your legal rights and ask us about many of the current dangerous products that are causing life-threatening injury or being recalled.
Wrongful Death
A suit for wrongful death may be filed when a person dies as the result of someone else's negligent, reckless or intentional act. No loss is greater than the wrongful death of a loved one. At the Law Offices of Peter DeFilippis & Associates, our lawyers represent grieving families in their claims for compensation against the people responsible for your loss. We diligently fight for the rights of surviving family members and Estates
We have been achieving exceptional results for family members of wrongful death victims of catastrophic injury and wrongful death for over three decades. A wrongful death claim in New York allows only certain family members to collect specific types of damages for loss of future wages, medical expenses prior to death, and loss of companionship. In New York, a wrongful death claim must be filed by the person appointed by a Surrogate’s Court to be the personal representative of deceased person's estate. Our wrongful death attorneys will assist you in all probate proceedings necessary to file your wrongful death lawsuit.
At the Law Offices of Peter DeFilippis & Associates, we devote whatever resources are needed to help our clients receive maximum compensation for their loss. Our selective case list allows us to give our full personal attention to every client. Again, each inquiry is treated with care and every phone call is returned promptly.
If we commit to your fatal accident case, we will set out to prove it by thorough investigation, use of top-flight experts and extensive depositions. We handle all catastrophic injury wrongful death cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing for our legal services unless we make a recovery for you.
Business and Construction Litigation
Only parties who take an active role in the drafting and negotiation of any contract can feel secure once the document is executed. If subsequently, you feel that another party has breached your agreement, contact our office and have an experienced and dedicated attorney with extensive litigation experience to evaluate the matter. We strongly believe that working with an experienced New York business contract lawyer with litigation experience is essential to that process.
