Personal Injury

Mark Marino entered the personal injury field after a battle with cancer. He was diagnosed with a spindle cell sarcoma in his jaw and had surgery to remove and replace the lower right half of his jaw. Mr. Marino understands serious injuries, pain, and suffering.

Mr. Marino believes that a good, ethical personal injury attorney is among the noblest of all professionals. When a man, woman, or child suffers needlessly due to the fault of someone else, a personal injury attorney fronts the costs of litigation and devotes his or her time in the pursuit of compensation for that injured person.

Motor Vehicle Accidents: Mr. Marino has represented drivers and passengers injured in automobile accidents, as well as accidents involving much larger vehicles, such as commercial trucks and buses. The safety features in automobiles may help, but they do not always protect one from the serious injuries caused by a reckless driver.

Pedestrians and Bicyclists: People traveling on foot or on a bike are defenseless against a car, truck, or bus (or even the subway). Injuries to pedestrians, bicyclists, skateboarders, and rollerbladers are often very serious and sometimes fatal, and these serious injuries are often the fault of a reckless driver.

Premises Liability (Fall Injuries): Premises liability law involves the responsibility of property owners and occupiers for injuries sustained by an individual on their property. Slip and falls are the most common claims in premises liability lawsuits. Some of the most common causes are icy sidewalks, loose or uneven stair treads, or spilled liquid on the floor – for example, in an apartment building or retail store. Some of the most common serious injuries associated with these accidents include head trauma, spinal cord injuries, and broken bones.

Construction Accidents: Construction workers are at risk every day due to the inherently dangerous nature of their jobs. Examples of construction site accidents include scaffolding accidents, falls from elevated areas of buildings, workers hit by falling objects, equipment failure, and the failure to provide the equipment necessary to ensure the worker's safety. Serious injuries suffered on the job are often debilitating and sometimes fatal.

Police Misconduct: We pay the salaries of police officers with our tax money "to protect and to serve." For the most part, New York City's Finest are just that – the best police force in the nation. Unfortunately, officers sometimes abuse their power (or make mistakes) and engage in misconduct which seriously injures a civilian. Such acts are unacceptable and the innocent must be compensated.
