Introduction
More than 75 years of continuous practice representing injury victims in Buffalo and Western New York sets Rosenthal Kooshoian & Lennon, LLP apart from firms that measure their history in single decades. Founded by Harvey Rosenthal, the firm has built a practice centered on personal injury, workers compensation, medical malpractice, and wrongful death cases, serving clients from its downtown Buffalo office at 80 West Huron St.
Practice Areas
Rosenthal Kooshoian & Lennon handles a range of injury and liability matters that arise when individuals suffer harm through the negligence or misconduct of others.
Personal injury claims cover motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall incidents, and other situations where a party’s failure to exercise reasonable care causes physical harm. The firm’s attorneys evaluate liability, gather evidence, and advance claims through negotiation or litigation to pursue full compensation for injured clients.
Workers compensation representation helps employees injured on the job obtain the benefits they are entitled to under New York State law. These claims can involve workplace accidents, occupational illnesses, and disputes with employers or insurers over the scope and duration of benefits.
Medical malpractice cases require attorneys who can analyze complex medical records, retain qualified expert witnesses, and present technical evidence to juries or in settlement proceedings. The firm brings that capability to clients who have suffered harm from healthcare provider errors.
Wrongful death actions allow surviving family members to pursue accountability and compensation when negligence or misconduct causes a death. The firm represents families through the legal and procedural demands of these cases, which require filing deadlines and procedural requirements distinct from standard injury claims.
Motor vehicle accident claims, including car, truck, and motorcycle crashes, round out the firm’s personal injury practice and constitute a significant portion of the cases it handles throughout Western New York.
