Personal Injury
Powerful Advocates for Accident and Injury Victims in Upstate New York
Poklemba & Hobbs is one of the only law firms in the Capital District that takes the really big accident and personal injury cases. Most of our clients come to us because their lives have been changed by a devastating injury or the loss of a loved one due to another's negligent or wrongful act. They need truly experienced help to fight against a system that doesn't want to give them the financial compensation they desperately need to pay for medical bills, lost wages due to inability to work and the lifelong costs of therapy, rehabilitation and care. Contact us to discuss your case in a free consultation.
Our Clients
Many of our clients have suffered what is known as a catastrophic personal injury, such as a spinal cord injury, brain damage, crushed bones or joints, severe back or neck injury — any injury that results in a real change in their quality of life and ability to work. We often represent families who have suffered the wrongful death of a loved one due to individual or corporate negligence.
We also take cases that are about justice or improving the way the system works to protect consumers. These cases may not be about obtaining a multimillion dollar settlement. Instead, the goal may be to force a business or other institution to change a policy or procedure that causes harm.
Auto Accidents
If you or a loved one suffered serious or catastrophic personal injury in a motor vehicle accident or if a family member was killed, the attorneys of Poklemba & Hobbs can help you understand and pursue your legal options for seeking compensation in a personal injury claim or lawsuit. Our clients come to us primarily because of our reputation for success in substantial claims against national insurance companies and major U.S. auto manufacturers.
Premises Liability
Property owners have a duty to take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of visitors and patrons. If you were hurt in a slip and fall accident or another accident caused by unsafe conditions at an Upstate New York store, office or other commercial establishment, we can offer you an assessment of your case at no charge.
Construction Site Accidents
Even when everybody does their part to ensure that a construction site is safe, construction workers are at a high risk of serious injury on the job. When contractors, subcontractors or manufacturers of construction equipment fail to live up to state and federal safety standards and a worker is injured or killed, Poklemba & Hobbs will fight for justice and financial compensation for the victims.
Product Liability
We stand up and fight for victims of defective products that cause serious injury and wrongful death. We take the cases that might intimidate other attorneys. We have a substantial record of success taking on some of the nation's largest manufacturers of automobile products, pharmaceuticals, medical implants, prosthetic devices and consumer products such as house paint containing lead.
Medical Malpractice
Poklemba & Hobbs represents victims of medical negligence of all kinds, from an emergency room error in failure to diagnose a heart attack or stroke to serious patterns of negligence at hospitals, clinics and dental offices in Upstate New York.
