- Wrongful DeathWhen a loved one has been taken from us in a fatal accident, it is the emotional pain of the loss that is most present. It can be a long time before the reality of the situation settles in and the family members begin to realize the tangible losses their loved one’s death has caused. If your loved one was killed in an accident that occurred because of another person’s negligence, you may have grounds to seek compensation in a wrongful death claim.

- Workers CompensationThis labor law action litigated by Mark Freeley was settled at mediation for $700,000 in addition to a waiver of a $90,000 worker's compensation lien. The plaintiff, a 53-year-old steamfitter, slipped and fell in a puddle of water at a construction site. As a result of the fall he re-injured his lower back. Prior to the accident the plaintiff had injured his neck and back and had undergone spine surgery for both. Plaintiff claimed an aggravation of the prior injury requiring an additional surgery. Plaintiff also claimed an inability to work. The defendants claimed that at least half of the plaintiff's disability was due to prior injuries. Defendants also claimed that plaintiff was aware of the puddle and should have avoided it.

- Personal InjuryFor Mark Freeley, life as a personal injury lawyer officially began after earning his law degree at Long Island’s own Hofstra University School of Law. With his degree in hand he began preparing for the bar, which he passed in three states: New York, New Jersey, and Florida. Mark always found it rewarding to help others, so becoming a personal injury lawyer was a natural fit.
- Medical MalpracticeDoctor causes surgical complications in medical malpractice case. The firm was able to help the family of a 48-year-old hairdresser recover a sizable award from the doctor who was accused of causing a fatal complication during surgery. While performing abdominal surgery on the plaintiff the surgeon perforated the woman's small intestine. Due to the resulting hole in the woman's intestine the patient developed peritonitis, a serious infection. Despite additional surgery to correct the situation and massive doses of antibiotics, the woman's situation worsened. She developed sepsis, or blood poisoning, and died less than a month after the initial surgery. Despite the surgeon's contention that he was not responsible for the perforation (he maintained that it was a spontaneous event occurring after surgery) and that the plaintiff was suffering from pneumonia and common pelvic inflammatory disease, which instead could have contributed to her death, the case settled for one and a half million dollars.
