Tomkiel III often gives continuing legal education (CLE) seminars in complex areas of injury and disability law, including car accident and workplace accident cases. Our New York personal injury law firm is prepared to see you through a challenging injury claim or lawsuit.
Construction Accidents and New York's Scaffolding Law
In New York, Labor Law 240, also known as the scaffold law, allows victims to recover full wages and benefits, medical expenses, as well as pain and suffering. Our construction accident attorneys have applied New York's scaffold law to many clients' advantage.
Victims of ladder and scaffold accidents may think that workers' compensation is their sole remedy. Our attorneys, however, often discover cause for third-party liability claims for injured construction workers. A third-party claim against a manufacturer or subcontractor can open the way to recovering ample compensation for pain and suffering in addition to compensation obtainable through application of the scaffold law and/or a workers' compensation claim.
We Advocate for the Injured When Nursing Home Failed to Monitor, Diagnose or Treat Bed Sores or Other Medical Conditions
Our nursing home negligence lawyers are prepared to get to the bottom of the cause of your elderly or disabled family member's bedsores or infection while living in a New York nursing home. Allowing a bedsore to get worse is a sign of failure to monitor a nursing home resident properly and failure to treat a dangerous condition. Consult with Tomkiel & Tomkiel, if you or a family member developed bedsores while living in a nursing home in Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, Yonkers, Mt. Vernon, New Rochelle, White Plains or anywhere in Westchester County, Long Island, Nassau County or Suffolk County.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
