Overview

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE, BIRTH INJURIES, CIVIL RIGHTS, EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION, PRISON ABUSE, 9/11 CANCER, NURSING HOME ABUSE, TOXIC TORTS, AND PERSONAL INJURY

The Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Firm is a premier litigation practice with a legacy of over 40 years of excellence in New York and New Jersey. We are dedicated to representing the injured and the disenfranchised in high-stakes cases, combining the resources of a large firm with the compassion and personalized attention of a family practice.

We are known for taking on the most complex legal challenges—cases that other firms turn away—and distilling them into winning arguments. In these unprecedented times, you need lawyers who set precedents.

Our Priority Practice Areas

  • Medical Malpractice & Birth Injuries: We are nationally recognized for our work in catastrophic medical negligence. We represent families devastated by birth trauma (Cerebral Palsy, Erb’s Palsy), surgical errors, anesthesia mistakes, and the failure to diagnose cancer.

  • Civil Rights & Social Justice: We have a deep history of holding government institutions accountable. Our attorneys aggressively litigate cases involving police misconduct, prisoner abuse (deliberate indifference), wrongful imprisonment, and negligence in the foster care system.

  • Mass Torts & Toxic Exposure: We represent hundreds of first responders and survivors suffering from 9/11-related illnesses and cancers due to toxic air at Ground Zero. Additionally, we lead class actions against pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers of defective products.

  • Personal Injury & Construction Accidents: We advocate for victims of life-altering accidents, including construction site falls, automobile crashes, and premises liability claims.

  • Employment & Whistleblower Actions: We fight for workers’ rights in cases of discrimination, sexual harassment, and healthcare fraud (Qui Tam).

Clients come to the Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Firm for our compassion, but they stay for our tenacity and success rate. We understand that we are often meeting people during the most difficult moments of their lives. Our mission is to provide stability, dignity, and justice when the unimaginable happens.
