Profile

I represent individuals and families in cases involving serious injury or death due to mistakes made by indviduals and corporations.  Many of my cases involve particulary vulnerable groups including children and the elderly.

As an advocate, I firmly believe that holding individuals and corporations responsible for negligent conduct and dangerous conditions will result in safety improvements that will help protect others from similar harm.

For my entire legal career, I've always been involved in personal injury law.  Having seen how the system and other attorneys tend to further wear down those who have been injured, I vow to treat my clients with compassion and respect.

I am proud to be a trial lawyer and to work aside other lawyers dedicated to representing the injured.  As the the founder and managing attorney at Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers my goal is to see that every client's case is handled in order so they may be compensated to the fullest extent under the law.

Many of our cases include:

Nursing Home Abuse

Nursing Home Injuries

Pressure Sores / Bed Sores

Birth Injuries

Medical Malpractice

Cerebral Palsy Lawsuits

Injuries to Children

Wrongful Death

White Papers

Is The Lack Of Continuity In Patient Care Responsible For The Endless Bedsore Problem?

Reading though the article and book references within the article, it appears that both authors blame modern developments in our healthcare system for the systematic increases in bedsores and other medical complications that are acquired by patients during their admissions to hospitals and nursing homes.   In particular, the writers cite the lack of continuity of care from all types of hospital staff, nurses, orderlies, and doctors as one of the main reasons we are seeing the modern day bedsore epidemic at many medical facilities.

Reporting Child Abuse: Not Just The Right Thing To Do-- But Also The Law

In many situations, a child may be unable or unwilling to report their own abuse or neglect.  Therefore, it is important that the network of adults in a child’s life are vigilant advocates, giving abused children a voice.  A child may not report abuse because they cannot talk, do not understand what is happening, are afraid, or have no one to talk to.

Birth Asphyxia: A Doctor's Delay, A Lifetime Of Medical Complications

A deminished oxygen supply for even a few minutes during the delivery process can result in a lifetime of complications for the child. Fetal asphyxia (also known as asphyxia neonatorum, birth asphyxia, or newborn asphyxia) is when a newborn suffers from inadequate intake of oxygen (respiratory failure) during, before, or after birth.
