Leav & Steinberg, LLP

Jack Nathan passed away on July 3, 2020, at 19 years old. A friend to the Steinberg family, Jack brought life and brightness to any room he walked in. Jack had an exceptional talent for making everyone feel important and relevant, no matter who they were. His creative spirit and commitment to people inspired him to launch Happy-Jack, a design-based fundraiser for mental health and wellness. These issues were important to him and you can view his company’s mission here. Wha...t We’re Doing Jack’s passing shook our community, and Leav & Steinberg LLP wanted to do something in remembrance of an extraordinary boy. From August 1 and continuing until December 31, 2020, our partner, Edward A. Steinberg, is hosting a RunRaiser: for each mile completed, participants will donate 25 cents to the Child Mind Institute, Jack’s favorite nonprofit dedicated to transforming the lives of children, families, and communities affected by mental illness and learning disabilities. After agreeing to donate, you will be given access to Mr. Steinberg’s Garmin tracker to see how many miles he’s completed. On average, Mr. Steinberg runs about 25 miles weekly, which adds up to roughly $125 for the duration of the fundraiser. Once completed, you can donate directly to the Child Mind Institute. How You Can Help If you’d like to participate, call our office at 212-766-5222. If you feel inclined, please share this with friends and family as well. At a time of social unrest, economic uncertainty, and a changing society, our youth’s mental wellness continues to be at the forefront of what’s important.

We are all proud and wish to congratulate Edward A. Steinberg, with Leav & Steinberg, LLP as the incoming president of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association. We celebrate his installation today. Although typically the celebration would be in person with many heartfelt handshakes, this year is very different. With the temporary shut down of the Courts in this state due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the abeyance of filing any lawsuits to initiate new actions, the shift t...o teleconferencing discovery conferences and oral arguments on motions and the inability to conduct a trial to bring a client his day in court before a jury of his peers -the year ahead will be unprecedented. We know that Eddy will be there every step of the way. Bringing insightful ideas to the ears of everyone that will listen. Pushing much needed laws and legislation in Albany to ensure the wrongly injured have access to justice. He is a true Plaintiff's Lawyer. #law #legal #lawyer #lawyers #lawfirm #personalinjury #instalaw #attorney #attorneys #attorneysatlaw #lawyering #accident #caraccident #legaladvice #lawoffice #personalinjuryattorney #personalinjurylawyer #newyork #lawyersofdistinction #caraccidentlawyer #youneedalawyer #abogado #mylawyers #trialattorney #accidentattorney #triallawyer

The toll of putting profits first started to show when the outbreak began. No nursing home could be completely prepared for a pandemic as devastating as Covid-19, but some for-profit homes were particularly ill equipped and understaffed, which undercut their ability to contain the spread of the coronavirus. #law #legal #lawyer... #lawyers #lawfirm #personalinjury #instalaw #attorney #attorneys #attorneysatlaw #lawyering #accident #caraccident #legaladvice #lawoffice #personalinjuryattorney #personalinjurylawyer #newyork #lawyersofdistinction #caraccidentlawyer #youneedalawyer #abogado #mylawyers #trialattorney #accidentattorney #triallawyer See more

Tuesday marked 58 days since a pedestrian was killed in the Big Apple the longest stretch since 1983 when the city starting keeping track.

New York hospitals have started to resume urgent medical procedures that were put on hold amid the coronavirus crisis but some hospitals say they are now scrambling to deal with the backlog.

Edward Steinberg, a malpractice and accident attorney whose practice covers Long Island, New York City and Westchester counties, is the president-elect of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association. He is worried that such a waiver would place the concerns of business over the public health as the economy reopens. "Although the everyday challenges from this pandemic may be entirely new, Mitch's political playbook is the same old, same old, once again putting the profits of ...big business over the health and safety of consumers and exploiting workers," Steinberg said in a statement. "Given everything New Yorkers have been through, Mitch's dangerous assault on our legal rights is both absurd and outrageous." #law #legal #lawyer #lawyers #lawfirm #personalinjury #instalaw #attorney #attorneys #attorneysatlaw #lawyering #accident #caraccident #legaladvice #lawoffice #personalinjuryattorney #personalinjurylawyer #newyork #lawyersofdistinction #caraccidentlawyer #youneedalawyer #abogado #mylawyers #trialattorney #accidentattorney #triallawyer

During difficult times-Leav & Steinberg, LLP is there for all clients-resolving over 20 matters last month with value of almost $3,000,000.00 million dollars On March 15th, 2020 our State and City closed due to the COVID-19 crisis. Many businesses were shut and sadly thousands of New Yorkers were unemployed or furloughed. Many of those were clients of Leav & Steinberg, LLP. Those clients had been seriously injured prior to this health crisis and had relied upon Leav & Steinbe...rg and its staff to be there to help them obtain complete justice. While our firm had to work remotely, our entire staff and attorneys committed to continuing the tradition we have had for the last 21 years: By providing excellent lawyering and exceptional customer service Leav & Steinberg, will be the premier firm in New York for representing all New Yorker’s who have been injured and deserve justice. While many law firms focus on handling matters at trial, or only on resolving cases in claim, Leav & Steinberg, LLP has been built on a very solid foundation of handling a wide variety of claims and also positioning all cases to be prepared in a way that allows full and complete justice; even during this very serious crisis that has crippled the City. #law #legal #lawyer #lawyers #lawfirm #personalinjury #instalaw #attorney #attorneys #attorneysatlaw #lawyering #accident #caraccident #legaladvice #lawoffice #personalinjuryattorney #personalinjurylawyer #newyork #lawyersofdistinction #caraccidentlawyer #youneedalawyer #abogado #mylawyers #trialattorney #accidentattorney #triallawyer

Business’ covered by a Business Loss Insurance Policy may be entitled to certain coverage for COVID-19/Corona Virus losses. The criteria to trigger coverage depends on the language of your insurance policy. Most business insurance policies require that the insured (business owner) show actual physical damage to their premises in order to collect for the losses. Thus far in the pandemic, the insurance industry has predictably taken the position that the virus has not caused... actual physical damage and thus, they are repeatedly denying claims that have been by brought business owners due to COVID-19/Corona Virus. We do not necessarily agree that the insurance carriers are correct. On the contrary, there are valid arguments that coverage should be afforded to business owners. For instance, if Covid-19 contamination to a business facility or property has occurred, it can be argued that that is tantamount to physical damage and loss of use of the property, interrupting business and causing massive losses. If ingress or egress is blocked due to contamination, it may be covered. Further, if actual contamination has occurred to certain dependent or contingent locations relating to supply, distribution, or customer chains, coverage may be afforded. Obviously, the damages due to the pandemic are massive (clean-up expenses, contamination mitigation expenses, cancellation of business events, operations, etc.) but that alone should not be valid basis to deny coverage. Also, civil authority orders that have caused shut-downs and disrupted business may be a basis for coverage. At Leav & Steinberg we were one of the law firms that represented large numbers of New Yorker’s struggling to collect insurance benefits owed to them after Super Storm Sandy. In those cases we were successful in recovering millions of dollars for businesses and homeowners most of whom had had their claims denied by their insurance carriers. We again look forward to the fight for fairness. If you’ve been paying your premiums loyally to your insurance company it is unfair that they deny you when you need them most. We are happy to discuss your options. #law #legal #lawyer #lawyers #lawfirm #personalinjury #instalaw #attorney #attorneys #attorneysatlaw #lawyering #accident #caraccident #legaladvice #lawoffice #personalinjuryattorney #personalinjurylawyer #newyork #lawyersofdistinction #caraccidentlawyer #youneedalawyer #abogado #mylawyers #trialattorney #accidentattorney #triallawyer
