Accidental falls are the second leading cause of spinal cord injuries with over 25% of new spinal cord injuries are caused by falls each year. Among the more mature population, falls are even more dangerous. For those over 65 years old, falls are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries. Errors and omissions during neck and back surgery are the cause of an alarming, though less frequent, number of spinal cord injuries and can give rise to a medical malpractice claim by the injured. Construction site accidents are also known for causing debilitating spinal cord injuries. The location and severity of the spinal cord trauma will determine the physical issues that a spinal cord injury victim will suffer.

• Medical Malpractice & Negligence Lawyers

  You trust that your doctor and other health care professionals responsible for your care have your best interests in mind. When those doctors, nurses, and other professional betray your trust by providing substandard care, you can be left with debilitating injuries. At Eisbrouch Marsh, we know that a financial award can never compensate you for all that you have lost, but we can help you seek justice by holding the responsible parties accountable for your injuries. Call us at 201-342-5545 today for your free legal case consultation. Malpractice is not about an unhappy medical outcome. Medical malpractice is about the medical professionals you trusted not providing the level of care that you deserved. Types of Medical Malpractice Some of the most common forms of medical malpractice involve: Doctor Negligence Misdiagnosis and Failure to Diagnose Hospital Negligence Surgical Errors Pharmacy Errors Compensation Available in Malpractice Cases The injuries sustained because of medical errors are often severe and long lasting. They can result in the need for costly medical treatment and life-long care. Depending on your specific case, we seek compensation for: Actual Damages: Actual damages are comprised of the quantifiable amount of money you had to spend due to your accident. This includes medical bills, lost wages, and lost future earnings. General Damages: General damages are those that are not easily quantifiable and will require additional evidence or testimony detailing the severity of your injuries. This could include emotional distress or mental anguish. These damages could be significantly high if your injuries are exceptionally severe or you are left permanently disabled. General damages may also include compensation for loss of consortium, which is designed to help remedy the loss of relationship or marital relations experienced by spouses in the event one is rendered disabled. Punitive Damages: While not available in every situation, New Jersey law supports the notion of assessing extra damages against a defendant who acted grossly negligent or intentionally. Wrongful Death: If your loved one was killed because of medical malpractice, New Jersey law allows for recovery by the decedent’s estate on behalf of the victim’s immediate family. If you are facing this difficult situation, we can help you navigate the process of a wrongful death lawsuit and begin your family’s healing process. Doctor Negligence Doctor reviewing medical images | Medical negligene attorneys Eisbrouch MarshSadly, many malpractice cases can be traced back to preventable errors made by medical practitioners due to factors such as: Lack of sleep. Many doctors work long hours on little sleep which can seriously affect their reaction time and logical reasoning skills. Over-treating patients. Sometimes labeled “defensive medicine,” doctors who order medically unnecessary tests run the risk of creating false positives, needless operations, and overly medicating their patients. Time constraints. When doctors spend more time on administrative tasks and paperwork, they have less time for actual patient interactions. This can lead to gaps in patient medical history or errors made during rushed examinations. Drug and alcohol abuse. Like the general population, doctors are not immune to addiction. However, their life choices can adversely affect all of the patients in their care. At Eisbrouch Marsh, we can help you hold the doctor responsible for their mistakes. Misdiagnosis and Failure to Diagnose Having your condition misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all can have severe and deadly consequences because necessary treatment is delayed or never given. Common misdiagnosis errors include: Misdiagnosis of cancer Heart attack misdiagnosis Stroke misdiagnosis Failure to detect the signs of heart attack or stroke Rheumatoid arthritis misdiagnosis Multiple Sclerosis misdiagnosis Parkinson’s Disease Failure to recognize internal bleeding Failure to diagnose diabetes Failure to diagnose meningitis or appendicitis in children Failure to diagnose ectopic pregnancy Unfortunately, death is the most common consequence of a misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose a stroke, heart attack or cancer. In these cases, the family may be able to pursue a wrongful death action to hold the responsible parties accountable. Back to Types of Medical Malpractice Hospital Negligence Medical errors attorney in New Jersey and Long IslandHospital negligence happens any time less-than-reasonable medical care delivered in a hospital setting results in a patient’s injuries or even death.

• Dangerous Drug Lawyers & Defective Medical Device Lawsuits

  When you take a prescription drug or get a medical device implant, you expect that the medical treatment will improve your condition and your quality of life. Unfortunately, for many patients, that expectation turns to tragedy. Dangerous drugs and defective medical devices injure thousands of people each year. If you have been injured or lost a loved one due to a dangerous drug or a defective medical device, please call Eisbrouch Marsh, LLC today at 201-342-5545 for your free legal consultation. We have convenient offices in New Jersey and New York. Dangerous Drug Lawyers Eisbrouch Marsh is dedicated to pursuing drug manufacturing companies in complex pharmaceutical litigation. Several drug companies are currently embroiled in mass tort litigation on the state and federal level. Our product liability lawyers offer unparalleled experience in this practice area. Some of the most popular medications available today also produce some of the most debilitating side effects. If you have suffered injuries from any of the following drugs, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries: Xarelto. Bayer’s popular blood-thinning medication can cause abdominal bleeding, brain hemorrhage, abnormal liver function, reduced platelet levels, bleeding in the brain, and even death. Benicar. Used to treat high blood pressure, Benicar can cause severe gastrointestinal side effects, such as chronic diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, severe weight loss, and malnutrition—symptoms that resemble those of untreated Celiac disease. Talcum Powder. Thought of as a harmless baby powder product produced by Johnson & Johnson, thousands of women discovered too late that use of talcum powder in the genital region can cause ovarian cancer. Risperdal. An antipsychotic medication prescribed to treat bipolar disorder, autism, and schizophrenia. Risperdal can cause the life-altering side effects, such as male breast growth (gynecomastia), diabetes, tardive dyskinesia, and the possibility of stroke. Pradaxa. A popular blood-thinning drug, Pradaxa can result in uncontrollable bleeding leading to death. Diabetes medications (Invokana, Farxiga, Jardiance). These Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors are intended to improve blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes. However, taking the drugs can cause ketoacidosis, a dangerously high level of blood acids, which can lead to coma or death. Invokana - Also known by its trade name Canagliflozin, Invokana is a new drug in the fight against type 2 Diabetes. While it is effective in helping kidneys take sugar out of the body to lower blood sugar levels, it is also classified as a SGLT2 inhibitor, which has been linked to heart attacks, stroke, urinary tract infection and kidney failure. PPI/Nexium. Nexium, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), has been used to treat peptic ulcer disease (PUD), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), esophageal acid damage, heartburn and certain ulcers. However, its use may result in significant vulnerability to nutritional deficiency and infection. Nexium has also been linked to chronic kidney disease, acute interstitial nephritis, and kidney or renal failure. Opioid litigation (representing individuals and municipalities). While individuals can pursue litigation against leading opioid manufacturers, municipalities are also doing so to seek damages for law enforcement, public health and medical costs related to opioid abuse. Both individuals and municipalities allege that opioid addiction stems from the manufacturers’ over-promotion and sales of prescription opioid medications such as Percocet and OxyContin. Neocate. This baby formula has been linked to low phosphorus in the blood, weak bones prone to fractures, and rickets. You may have a claim to make against the manufacturer if your infant or child has developed these types of health problems and Neocate has been a part of their diet. Dangerous Medical Devices Attorneys Eisbrouch Marsh is committed to the rights of consumers who have received recalled, defective medical devices, and other poorly designed, inadequately tested implants. The makers of these products owe the victims compensation for the injuries they have caused. Defective medical devices have found their way into the bodies of thousands of trusting patients forced to undergo painful revision surgery after learning their devices had failed. If you have suffered injuries because of these defective medical devices, you may have a claim for compensation: Hernia Mesh. A protective mesh or screen implanted to repair certain hernias, it often results in a faster recovery than other techniques. However, complications with hernia mesh can cause infections, bowel obstruction, organ damage, scar tissue, chronic pain and the need for additional surgery.

• Labor and Employment Lawyers

  Your job allows you to provide for your family’s health and well-being. When your employers or co-workers harass or discriminate against you, it not only makes for an uncomfortable work environment, it also puts your livelihood at risk. At Eisbrouch Marsh in New Jersey, we understand the financial and emotional toll that harassment and discrimination take on your career and your life. We fight for the rights of employees who have been wronged in the workplace. Call us today at 201-342-5545 for a free consultation about your options for legal recourse. We can help you fight back. Your Rights as an Employee Although companies retain a lot of power over who they employ, you have certain rights as an employee provided by New Jersey and federal laws. You have the right to: Work free without being sexually harassed or discriminated against Work without fear of retaliation for reporting or filing a discrimination claim against your employer Work in a safe environment Earn fair compensation When your rights are violated by an employer or co-worker, you may be able to pursue a legal claim to get justice and compensation for your losses. Wage and Hour Disputes Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employees are entitled to protections from exploitation by their employers. Employees who are not exempted from the rules must receive overtime pay for working more than 40 hours a week. Although this seems like a straightforward rule, it can be difficult to calculate for employees who make their living earning tips. If you believe your employer is not providing appropriate overtime pay, we can help you understand your rights and your ability to take legal action to recoup lost wages. Disability Discrimination The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects employees with disabilities against adverse employment actions based on their disability. The ADA prevents employers (with more than 15 employees) from: Refusing to offer reasonable accommodations in the application process. Refusing to consider applicants with disabilities. Requiring applicants to take a medical exam before making a job offer. Refusing to discuss reasonable accommodations. Refusing to provide reasonable accommodation. Singling out employees with disabilities for layoffs. Allowing disability-based harassment. If you have suffered from disability discrimination on the job or in the hiring process, contact Eisbrouch Marsh for your free legal consultation. Discrimination Based on a Protected Class A number of laws, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD), protect employers from being treated differently because of specific characteristics. Discrimination based on the following classifications is expressly prohibited: Race Gender Sexual orientation Pregnancy Disability Age Using family or medical leave time If your employer makes hiring and firing decisions or promotion and disciplinary decisions based on you belonging to a protected class, you may have a legal claim to recover lost compensation. Sexual Harassment Sexual harassment is unfortunately still a major problem in America today. It generally comes in two forms. The first is the quid pro quo type of harassment where a person in power demands sexual favors for work advancement. The second creates a hostile work environment and is sometimes difficult to recognize in its subtlety at first, but can create an unbearable work environment over time. The following questions can help you identify discriminatory conduct, and the answers may help you realize that it’s time to take action: Does this offensive conduct represent a pattern of acting or is it an isolated incident? Does the misconduct seem serious enough to create the kind of work environment that a reasonable person would deem intimidating, hostile, or abusive? Does enduring the ongoing misconduct appear to be a condition of your continued employment? Call Today for Your Free Labor and Employment Consultation If you have been the victim of workplace discrimination or you have been terminated and received a severance agreement, please contact Eisbrouch Marsh today at 201-342-5545 before you sign any agreements.

• Social Security Disability Lawyers

  When you are suffering from debilitating injuries that prevent you from working, you are entitled to Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits (SSDI). However, navigating the complex SSDI system to receive your benefits can seem like an impossible task. At Eisbrouch Marsh, we have helped clients for more than three decades to apply for and receive the maximum SSDI benefits they are entitled to. We can help you, too. Call 201-342-5545 today for your free, no-obligation SSDI consultation with an experienced attorney. What Are SSDI Benefits? Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits are federally provided benefits that pay out when you have suffered serious physical injury and cannot work as you once did. How Do I Qualify for SSDI Benefits? You must be disabled within the government’s definition, which requires that you have a physical or mental condition that prevents you from doing any substantial "gainful activity" (work) and the condition will last at least a year or you are terminally ill. You must be unable to perform the type of work you performed at the time you became disabled and unable to switch to a different type of work. In addition to being disable, you must have sufficient “work credits” with the Social Security system. The amount of credits you have stored will depend on your age and work history. This is a complicated formula that we can help you understand, but in general, you must have worked part of five of the last ten years before you became disabled. What Kind of Benefits Can I Receive? Your compensation from SSDI will depend significantly upon your earnings during the time you were working. These funds usually replace less than half of your prior earning, despite that fact that you likely will be relying solely on this income for survival. Once you receive SSDI benefits, you will continue to do so until you are able to resume work or until you reach retirement age. Once you reach retirement, traditional Social Security payments will commence. Medicare enrollment is automatic once SSDI benefits have been paid for two consecutive years. No matter your background or the type of work you performed prior to your disability, the SSDI attorneys of Eisbrouch Marsh are committed to fighting for every dollar of benefits to which you are entitled. How Do I Get Started? If you are suffering from a physical or mental disability that is keeping you from the work you once performed, you need to understand that the process of obtaining SSDI benefits can be lengthy and cumbersome. For that reason, it pays to secure the aid of a skilled team of New Jersey disability attorneys sooner rather than later. The process of obtaining SSDI benefits typically involves four key stages: Filing your initial claim with the Social Security branch office. Many times these applications are denied, although you may have to wait months for that decision. Request reconsideration of your claim. Within the 60-day time frame set out by the denial of your first claim, you must request to be reconsidered. Request a hearing. If you are denied a second time, we will request a hearing within the 60-day deadline set out in your denial. The hearing will be before an Administrative Law Judge and may be scheduled for several months to over a year after your request. Finally, the Administrative Law Judge will issue a final ruling either denying or granting your SSDI benefits. If you are awarded SSDI benefits, you are entitled to back pay for the months or years that it took to go through the entire administrative process. This process can seem daunting when you are first beginning. At Eisbrouch Marsh we can take the mystery out of the process and ensure that your paperwork, requests for appeal, and medical records are all timely submitted. We will also build your best case so you can receive the maximum amount of benefits to which you are entitled.

• Civil Rights Violations Attorney

  A civil rights lawyer at Eisbrouch Marsh is your best ally if you have been unfairly treated by others due to age, race, religion, sexual orientation, or another personal attribute. Our reputation for client satisfaction and cases won is well-known throughout the state of New Jersey, as well as New York. After a complimentary analysis of your case, we will discuss how we can best go about proving the facts in your complaint and securing compensation for your unjust suffering so you can move on. Equality is an American right given to us by the U.S. Constitution. But even though we live in a comparatively “free” and “just” country, judges from federal, district and state courts preside over thousands of civil rights lawsuits each year. If you were treated unfairly, call Eisbrouch Marsh, LLC at 201-342-5545 to begin building your claim. What Is Considered a Civil Rights Violation in New Jersey? Civil rights violations generally include some type of unfair discrimination based upon another person’s: Race Age Gender Creed Color National origin Ancestry Marital status / domestic partnership / civil union Military service Disability / illness Sexual orientation Gender identity Pregnancy Religion Political affiliation Immigration status New Jersey civil rights lawsuits may derive from: Business transactions Employment discrimination Sexual harassment Voter suppression Police brutality False arrest Abuse and extortion Cyber bullying Racial profiling Hate crimes Human trafficking Destruction of property Infringement on freedom of speech Denial of higher education Denial of housing Denial of welfare These cases are much more commonplace than you may think. This year, at least 9,786 civil rights lawsuits have been formally reported in New Jersey, according to New Jersey District Court filings. These violations cover everything from employment, disability and voting abuses, to police brutality, false arrest, and denial of housing or welfare. Notable New Jersey Civil Rights Cases In 2009, Hackensack police Sgt. Thomas Aiellos was at home, nursing a shoulder injury he sustained during the arrest of a Bloods gang member. One day, a supervisor unexpectedly showed up at his home with a ballot and told him to choose his buddy in an upcoming union delegate vote. When Aiellos refused, the supervisor accused him of “lying about his injury” and his physical therapy benefits were cut. “They wanted to get rid of me and not promote me,” said Aiellos, who added that he couldn’t lift his arm enough to hold his gun up. He launched a massive whistleblower civil rights lawsuit that resulted in citywide reform and a $2 million settlement for the four officers who spoke out about the abuses. From there, it only got worse for Police Chief Ken Zisa. Soon, two dozen other cops filed civil rights lawsuits alleging that they had been “extorted” for money to support Zisa’s candidacy in legislative races, passed over for transfers because they didn’t support Zisa’s politics, and forced to provide free construction and repair work for fear of retaliation. After the civil rights shakedown, Zisa was arrested and the city paid out at least $8 million in legal defense and settlement cash. Other recent civil rights lawsuits in New Jersey include: Police brutality & racial discrimination: A Muslim man who refused to enter a police station until his lawyer was present was allegedly tackled to the ground and beaten by a female police officer and several colleagues. According to the civil rights lawsuit, the officers called Fouad Dakka a “typical Arab” and a “terrorist,” among other insults. The Hackensack police agreed to settle for $50,000 even though they say the man’s story is a fabrication because “it would be less expensive than going to court.” Disability discrimination: In August 2013, a legally blind man was asked to remove his dog from a delicatessen, even though the canine was a licensed service animal. While the deli owner made no admission of wrongdoing, he agreed to pay the man $1,500 for failing to train employees on how to deal with service animals. Pregnancy discrimination: Ewing, NJ company Trane U.S. Inc. agreed to pay former employee Charnelle Gilliard $55,000 after it was accused of firing her when she took medical leave during the final weeks of her pregnancy, as per her doctor’s advice. False arrest: In 2007, a Mount Laurel man was apprehended and arrested without a warrant and was told he wouldn’t be released until he paid a (disputed) $129 auto repair shop bill. Six years later, the courts awarded Richard Greenberg $150,000 to settle his civil rights lawsuit. False arrest: North Jersey plaintiff, 39-year-old Bridget Haymon, received a $90,000 settlement from the Middlesex County sheriff’s department after an alleged assault by officer Lawrence Madigan, who resigned after 14 years of service to avoid jail time.
