Practice Areas

Personal Injury

We advise our clients and protect their legal rights in every type of accident. Our expertise ranges from cases involving the most serious of injuries including death, paralysis or amputation to those cases of significant connective tissue disruption (soft tissue injuries).

Products Liability

The Bronx defective products lawyers at the the Stern Law Firm firm are experienced litigators, highly skilled in handling products liability, and are waiting to talk with you.

Medical Malpractice

Having represented hospitals and doctors in defense of these claims immediately after graduating from law school, Alan Stern has a unique understanding of both the defense and prosecution and has developed a highly successful approach to achieving victory when prosecuting negligent medical providers on behalf of patients for well over twenty-five years.

Wrongful Death

We are experienced in handling these excruciatingly painful wrongful death claims. We can advise you on the Estate law (EPTL), the elements necessary to establish a case, the various causes of action available and the nature and extent of the recovery allowed.

Negligence

Time is important when dealing with negligence cases, as statutes of limitations exist on all claims. By timely contacting an attorney, you improve your chances of reaching a successful outcome.

Workers Compensation

Workers compensation is a state-required insurance program intended to compensate injured workers for medical expenses and time off work, regardless of whether the worker was at fault for the injury. The system was put in place to ensure workers are quickly covered for medical expenses and wages but this system does not provide for fair or adequate compensation for pain and suffering, that's where Stern Law comes in.
