- Sexual HarassmentNew York City’s extremely competitive financial environment often puts significant pressure on employees to perform at high levels of efficiency. But while many workers accept a pressure-cooker environment as the price for living and working in the Big Apple, there are certain job conditions that no employee should accept, including discrimination, harassment and other unlawful treatment. At Brooklyn-based Rubenstein & Rynecki, our employment law attorneys fight for the rights of employees at all levels, from the rank and file to company management. We protect our clients from a variety of abuses and fight for vindication when their rights are violated. Whether you are seeking monetary damages for sexual harassment, reinstatement after a wrongful termination or a legal remedy for another workplace wrong, we are prepared to fight for the best possible outcome.
- Premises LiabilityA: The statute of limitations sets time limits for filing various types of lawsuits as follows: Personal injury: Three years from the date of injury Wrongful death: Two years from the date of death Medical malpractice: Two and a half years from the date of the medical error Products liability: Three years from the date of injury Premises liability: Three years from the date of injury For latent injuries—those not immediately apparent—the statutory period begins running on the date you discovered or reasonably should have discovered you were injured. However, you may not be entitled to the full statutory period. For example, if a surgeon leaves a foreign object inside your body, you have only one year from the date of discovery to file a lawsuit. There are also different statutory limits for child victims. Additionally, when the defendant is a government agency, other limitations apply, and deadlines are generally shorter. Contact an attorney at our firm to learn more about filing a claim against a government entity in New York City.
- Property DamageWhile these criminal penalties can bring a sense of justice, they do little to compensate victims who suffer significant bodily injury, property damage, and other economic and non-economic losses.
