We handle a variety of legal issues, including:
Construction Falls: Construction sites are dangerous work places, where thousands of accidents and injuries occur each year.
Personal injury/insurance defense: Our firm has successfully represented insureds against a wide range of personal injury claims. Throughout our many years of providing insurance defense services, we have proudly served prominent companies in the insurance industry, including State Farm, AutoOne, New York Central Mutual, Gerling America, Risk Enterprise Management, AIG, Lexington Insurance Company and Gallagher Bassett-Chrysler.
Automobile liability defense: Efficient, smart liability defense depends in large part on the attorney's knowledge of the most up-to-date statutes and recent precedent-setting cases. Murphy & Lambiase is well versed in the legal requirements pertaining to motor vehicle accidents, injuries and compensation.
Commercial trucking liability defense: There are usually issues of multiple insurers involved in truck accident cases. Sorting out the coverage issues of the various commercial trucking insurance carriers is a job for a highly experienced commercial insurance defense attorney, like the insurance defense attorneys at Murphy & Lambiase.
Construction liability defense: In the event of an elevation related injury, New York laws stipulate strict liability for the site owner. This means that the property owner has few defenses if a worker falls from an elevator, crane or roof at a construction site. An aggressive defense in this case typically entails ensuring that liability is spread properly among all responsible parties.
Insurance coverage issues: The law offices of Murphy & Lambiase in the Hudson Valley region of New York offer zealous representation and value to individuals and insurance companies when policy coverage is at issue in personal injury defense.
Environmental liability defense: Precise analysis of alleged environmental law violations and aggressive defense go hand in hand.
Liquor liability: Murphy & Lambiase represents businesses in dram shop or drunk driver liability cases.
Premises liability defense: Property owners rely on our knowledge of insurance coverage limitations to protect them when a visitor to a property falls on ice or slips and trips on stairs.
Products liability defense: We aggressively defend products liability cases for manufacturers, marketers, vendors and installers of allegedly defective products such as car parts.
Personal injury defense for third party administrators: Third party administrators of insurance for commercial operations, corporate entities and other targets of liability claims do well to maintain close ties with knowledgeable attorneys.
Personal injury defense for self insured: If you are self insured, you know just how important a strong defense is in personal injury cases.

Medical Malpractice Advocacy for Plaintiffs
Medical Malpractice: Medical malpractice victims must deal with significant financial, physical and emotional challenges that may seem overwhelming. If you or a loved one has been injured because of medical malpractice, we encourage you to contact an experienced medical malpractice attorney at Murphy & Lambiase.
Causes: Whether the cause of a medical error was understaffing, mishandling of medical records, poor communication between medical professionals or misidentification of patients, Murphy & Lambiase is well qualified to undertake the necessary investigation and analysis of the case — with the goal of full and fair compensation for victims.
Injuries: Victims often need corrective surgery to undo the wrong done after a medical error. In many cases, no treatment or therapy will help the victim regain normal bodily functions after an injury such as accidental perforation of bowels during gall bladder surgery.
