Theodore W. Ucinski III is an experienced litigator in the state and federal courts of New York and New Jersey, where he handles cases involving New York labor law, multi-party construction defect litigation, and high-exposure personal injury actions. He draws on more than 20 years of experience representing clients such as the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, as well as major developers and owners with holdings throughout the five boroughs. Ted’s breadth of knowledge and OSHA training make him an invaluable part of the firm’s Construction rapid response team. His qualifications allow him access to construction and worksite accident scenes to conduct investigations within hours of an alleged injury, and when litigation commences, he is able to rely on an in-depth understanding of the incident to create an effective defense strategy.
