Eastchester, New York

The Town of Eastchester, New York has a population of approximately 31,000. The town was originally settled in 1664 by 10 families that migrated from Fairfield, Connecticut, and is five square miles. Eastchester was a farming community at the time of the American Revolution. Aaron Burr tried cases at the St. Paul’s Church in the 1790’s, when Westchester County litigated cases in Eastchester.

Eastchester is home to the Marble Schoolhouse, a one room schoolhouse built in 1835 with “Tuckahoe Marble.” The Eastchester Town Hall was originally a farm and is the only town hall in Westchester County that has both town department offices and hosts civic functions.

Cases We Work on in Eastchester

The Law Office of Mark A. Siesel was founded by Mark Siesel, who has been serving clients in the Eastchester area since 1986. In that time, we have helped clients with cases that include the following:

Car Accidents and Traffic Accidents

In a vehicle accident, you may assume that your insurance will cover your costs, but in many cases your insurance may not cover all your costs. Our team works with clients to negotiate with insurance company and to pursue any legal claims so we can get you the fair compensation you deserve.

We work with clients on a range of car accident claims:

• Car accidents caused by distracted driving, including cell phone use
• Rear-end collisions
• Head-on crashes
• Rollover accidents
• Dangerous road conditions and hazardous weather-related accidents
• Hit-and-run accidents
• Injuries to pedestrians or cyclists caused by negligent drivers
• Hit-and-run accidents involving pedestrians or cyclists
• Accidents at crosswalks, intersections, or parking lots
• Failure to yield and intersection collisions
• Teen driver accidents and underage driving incidents
• Accidents involving older drivers
• Winter accidents and icy road crashes
• Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims
• Pedestrian accidents caused by motor vehicle drivers
• Motorcycle accidents resulting in serious injury

Construction Accidents

If you work on a construction site, you are exposed to many hazards. In case of an injury or occupational illness, workers’ compensation is supposed to be there to support you, but this insurance only covers part of your lost wages and does not cover pain and suffering or incidental costs at all. Our team has helped many injured workers file a claim and get the compensation they need.

We may be able to help you with the following claims:

• Ladder and scaffold accidents, including falls and unsafe conditions
• Crane and heavy machinery accidents
• Falling object accidents on construction sites
• Demolition and excavation accidents
• Accidents from inadequate safety equipment
• Injuries from roof and floor collapses
• Slip and fall accidents on construction sites
• Claims under New York State Industrial Code and Safe Place to Work Statute
• Workplace injuries under Labor Law 240 (Scaffold Law)

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice involves situations where you do not get the acceptable standard of care. This can include:

• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose critical conditions
• Surgical errors and anesthesia mistakes
• Birth injuries and negligence during labor
• Medication errors and improper drug administration
• Nursing home neglect and abuse, including bedsores
• Mental health care malpractice and therapy-related errors

Truck Accidents

Truck accidents are a unique type of traffic accident because they involve commercial operators and often multiple liable parties. The injuries sustained in trucking accidents also tend to be more severe, which is why it is important to consult with a truck accident attorney as soon as possible. Our team has tackled many kinds of truck accidents:

• Accidents caused by truck driver fatigue and violations of driving hours
• Large truck collisions due to improper cargo loading or securement
• Truck accidents caused by driving under the influence or distracted driving
• Truck accidents resulting in serious personal injury or wrongful death

Premises Liability

Property owners have a duty to care for their property so that visitors are not injured. This means making sure the property is maintained and safe. When property owners fail to do this and you are injured, you may have a claim. Premises liability claims can arise from many types of situations:

• Slip and fall accidents on public or private property
• Accidents caused by broken handrails, stairs, or elevators
• Injuries caused by snow, ice, or potholes on walkways
• Falling merchandise in retail stores
• Accidents resulting from poorly maintained or dangerous property conditions
• Elevator and escalator malfunctions leading to serious injuries

Wrongful Death

Our team takes on some of the most challenging and painful situations—such as when a loved one is killed by negligent actions leading to a car accident, medical malpractice instances, or workplace accidents. If your family member has been fatally injured in any setting, pursuing a wrongful death claim lets you seek justice. It also allows you to seek financial recovery for final medical bills, funeral costs, loss of companionship, and income support.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

We help you file claims for personal injuries from dog bites or other animal attacks on residential or commercial properties. Our team seeks compensation for your pain and suffering, medical bills, and lost income resulting from animal attacks.

Defective Product Injuries

Injuries from dangerous or defective products, such as faulty electronics, machinery, food, beverages, or toys are quite common. Our team handles claims against manufacturers, distributors, or retailers for defective items causing injury. If you have been seriously injured by any product, we may be able to represent you.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Neglect or abuse in nursing homes, including physical or emotional harm, affects those who are most vulnerable. We help you take legal action for incidents involving improper care or conditions like bedsores. In many cases, we are able to bring about change in care environments or are able to help you secure resources so you can move a loved one to a safer home.

Police Misconduct

Our firm handles claims related to excessive force, false arrest, or wrongful detention. We have also successfully worked on cases involving civil rights violations stemming from improper law enforcement actions.

Municipal Liability

If your injuries were caused by poorly maintained public spaces, including sidewalks, roads, or public parks, you may have a claim against a local government entity. Governments enjoy additional protections from lawsuits, but our team has successfully resolved claims involving government negligence or failure to maintain safe public areas.

Back, Brain, and Neck Injuries

We offer representation for victims suffering serious injuries such as herniated discs, whiplash, or traumatic brain injuries. In cases of serious spinal cord or brain injuries, it is especially important to retain an attorney right away because the long-term medical costs and wage loss of these injuries can add up to hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. Getting fair compensation can be essential to making sure you have the resources to pay for your care.

Criminal Defense Representation

We offer criminal defense for individuals facing criminal charges, including misdemeanors. We offer:

• Bail assistance and guidance through the criminal justice process
• Traffic-related offenses, such as reckless driving, speeding, or texting while driving
• Representation for vehicular manslaughter or negligent homicide charges
• Defense for individuals facing traffic infractions, including speeding and unsafe lane changes
• Representation in administrative hearings concerning driver’s license suspensions or refusals in DWI cases
