Marc S. Albert

Marc S. Albert focuses his practice on personal injury and medical malpractice litigation. Highly experienced in the handling of complex matters, Mr. Albert spends most of his time representing individuals who have suffered catastrophic injuries as a result of the negligence of another. In particular, Mr. Albert has vast experience in the litigation of cases involving construction site accidents, motor vehicle accidents, trucking accidents, boating accidents, wrongful death, premises liability, products liability and medical malpractice.

Mr. Albert graduated from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1992 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He earned his law degree from New York Law School in 1995. Since this time, Mr. Albert has dedicated his practice of law to the representation of injured parties. He joined the Seeger Weiss team in March, 2003.

Mr. Albert plays an integral role in the firm’s thriving personal injury practice. During his tenure at Seeger Weiss, he has been responsible for obtaining numerous seven-figure recoveries for injured clients, several of which were in high profile cases that were widely reported by the press. Some of the recent cases of note included a $1 million recovery for a construction worker injured while working in a trench at Ground Zero, a confidential seven-figure settlement on behalf of 11 children who were injured as a result of abuse by staff at a public act school and a $2.9 million recovery for the family of a man who was tragically killed in a boating accident.

In January, 2009, Mr. Albert obtained a $3.25 million settlement on behalf of a 10 year old boy who suffered brain damage as a result of a hospital’s failure to timely diagnose and treat bacterial meningitis.  In March, 2009, Christopher Seeger and Mr. Albert obtained a $1.4 million verdict after a trial in the Supreme Court, New York County on behalf of a 53 year old woman who sustained a serious ankle injury as a result of a slip and fall accident at the Met Life Building in Manhattan.  Also in March, Mr. Albert obtained a $1.3 million settlement for the family of a 43 year old woman who tragically died following a negligently performed neurosurgical procedure.

Mr. Albert has also been lauded nationally for his staunch representation of a 21 year old female client, Maria B., who was viciously assaulted and raped inside the New York City Transit Authority’s 21st Street/Van Alst Subway Station while at least two Transit employees stood by without rendering assistance. The case triggered an outpouring of emotion from New York citizens, who were outraged at the inaction of the Transit personnel, and Mr. Albert has been interviewed by various news sources, including The Today Show, CNN, MSNBC, Inside Edition, CBSTV News, ABCTV News, The New York Post and The Daily News in connection with his involvement in the case.

Mr. Albert has also been instrumental in the firm’s representation of 12 victims and their families in the tragic Windsor Wildcats Bus Accident case. The accident, which occurred when the Coach Canada bus carrying an under 21 year old female hockey team struck a parked tractor trailer on Route I-390 near Rochester, resulted in four deaths and countless serious injuries. The case is scheduled to proceed to trial in the Supreme Court, Livingston County in June of this year, culminating what has been more than four years of extensive litigation.

Mr. Albert is admitted to practice in New York, as well as the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York.
