Introduction

Three partners. More than 90 combined years of legal experience. A 24/7 phone line and offices in both Latham and Saratoga Springs: Anderson, Moschetti & Taffany, PLLC brings serious institutional depth to personal injury and criminal defense representation across New York’s Capital District. The firm has secured multi-million dollar recoveries for truck accident clients and handles the full range of serious injury claims that arise from vehicle crashes, dangerous premises, nursing home negligence, and defective products.

Partners Peter J. Moschetti Jr., Jeffrey K. Anderson, and David J. Taffany collectively represent the kind of combined experience that allows a firm to take on complex, high-value litigation with the resources to see it through. Clients reach the firm around the clock: the 24/7 phone availability at 518-802-4974 means that the period immediately following an accident, when evidence is fresh and decisions about medical care and legal strategy matter most, is not one where injury victims are left waiting.

Practice Areas

Personal Injury

Automobile and Motorcycle Accidents

Car accident claims in New York involve the state’s no-fault insurance system, which requires injury victims to first seek compensation through their own insurance before pursuing a third-party claim. Motorcycle accidents are treated differently: New York’s no-fault system does not cover motorcycle riders, which makes compensation claims procedurally distinct and, in some respects, more legally complex than standard automobile cases. The firm is familiar with this distinction and handles both types of claims accordingly.

Trucking Accidents

Commercial trucking accidents frequently produce catastrophic injuries because of the weight and force involved. The firm has achieved multi-million dollar recoveries for truck accident clients, reflecting an understanding of how these cases differ from standard vehicle crash litigation. Trucking cases often involve federal regulations governing driver hours, vehicle maintenance, and cargo loading, as well as multiple potential defendants including the driver, the carrier, and the shipper.

Premises Liability and Slip and Fall

Property owners in New York have a duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. When that duty is breached and someone is injured, a premises liability claim may arise. The firm handles slip and fall cases, as well as other premises-related incidents where a property’s condition caused or contributed to an injury.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Nursing home residents are among the most vulnerable members of society, and abuse in these settings takes multiple forms. Bedsores, also called pressure ulcers, develop when staff fail to reposition immobile residents. Malnutrition occurs when facilities do not provide adequate nutrition or monitor residents’ intake. Medication errors result from failures in administration protocols. Physical abuse may involve actions by staff or other residents. The firm pursues claims against facilities that fail to provide the standard of care their residents are owed.

Medical Malpractice

Healthcare providers can cause serious harm when they deviate from accepted standards of care. Medical malpractice claims require expert testimony to establish what the standard of care was and how it was breached. The firm handles these complex cases for clients injured by physician errors, surgical complications, diagnostic failures, and related forms of medical negligence.

Wrongful Death

When someone dies as a result of another party’s negligence, the surviving family members may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. These claims compensate for pecuniary losses, including the financial support the deceased would have provided, as well as funeral and medical expenses. The firm represents families through these proceedings.

Defective Products

Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers may be liable when a defective product causes injury. These cases, sometimes called product liability claims, can involve design defects, manufacturing defects, or inadequate warnings about known risks.

Construction Site Accidents

New York’s Labor Law provides specific protections for construction workers, including provisions that impose absolute liability on property owners and general contractors for gravity-related injuries at construction sites. These cases require familiarity with both the statutory framework and the practical realities of construction site operations.

Criminal Defense

The firm handles criminal defense matters in addition to its personal injury practice. Criminal charges carry consequences that extend well beyond the case itself, affecting employment, professional licensing, and personal freedom. Early legal representation in criminal proceedings generally produces better outcomes than waiting.

Client Focus

Anderson, Moschetti & Taffany operates on a contingency fee basis for personal injury matters, meaning clients are not charged legal fees unless the firm obtains a recovery. Free consultations are available around the clock, which reflects a practical understanding of when accidents happen and when injury victims most need guidance.

The multi-partner structure benefits clients in another way: serious cases can draw on the collective knowledge and capacity of three experienced attorneys rather than a single practitioner working alone.

The firm’s specific note that New York motorcycle crash claims fall outside the no-fault insurance system reflects the kind of granular, jurisdiction-specific knowledge that matters in real cases. A client with a motorcycle accident claim faces a different procedural landscape than a car accident victim, and the firm is equipped to handle that distinction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does New York’s no-fault insurance law apply to motorcycle accidents?

No. New York’s no-fault insurance system, which requires injury victims to first seek compensation through their own insurer before pursuing a third-party claim, does not apply to motorcycle riders. This means that motorcycle crash victims pursue compensation through a different legal framework than standard automobile accident victims. The absence of no-fault coverage changes the procedural path for a claim, and in some cases creates additional legal complexity. The firm has handled motorcycle accident cases and understands how these claims are properly structured under New York law.

What should I do immediately after a serious accident?

Seek medical attention first. Document the scene if you are physically able to do so. Do not give recorded statements to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney. Contact the firm at 518-802-4974, which is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Early legal involvement allows an attorney to preserve evidence, advise on communications with insurers, and begin building the record that a successful claim requires.

What kinds of recoveries has the firm achieved in trucking accident cases?

The firm has secured multi-million dollar recoveries for clients injured in commercial truck accidents. Trucking cases are among the most serious personal injury matters both because of the severity of injuries typically involved and because of the complexity of the potential defendants and applicable federal regulations.

How are nursing home abuse claims handled?

If a family member has been harmed in a nursing home or long-term care facility, through bedsores, malnutrition, medication errors, or physical abuse, the firm will evaluate the facts of the situation and advise on whether a legal claim is appropriate. These cases require documentation of the facility’s failures and the resulting harm. Early consultation allows the firm to advise on how to gather and preserve that evidence.

Is there any cost to contact the firm or schedule a consultation?

No. Consultations are free and available at any time. For personal injury cases, the firm works on a contingency fee basis, meaning no legal fee is charged unless a settlement or verdict is obtained.
