Our experienced and successful attorneys have maximized our client’s recoveries in premises liability verdicts and settlements in wide variety of claims:

• Slip and fall: We represent clients in fall-down accidents caused by a slippery floor, icy sidewalk, broken or dangerous stairs or walkways or other hazardous conditions that the owner either knows about or fails through the exercise of reasonable care to discovery and eliminate. Broken wrists, arms, elbows and ankles are common, as well as back and head injuries including herniated discs resulting in permanent disabilities.
   
• Dog bite: under most circumstances a dog owner is always liable for injuries, whether or not the animal has attacked anyone before,. Serious scarring and nerve damage are frequent outcomes, as well as emotional trauma for victims of such attacks including lifelong trauma sustained by children.
   
• Construction site accidents: Property owners and contractors are ordinarily responsible for the provision of safe premises including discovery of and elimination of dangerous conditions, signage and warning of dangerous areas, construction vehicle safety, and unsafe conditions during construction, such as holes, sharp edges, debris and unstable piles. Such injuries can cause severe pain and suffering and result in permanent disability including loss of past and future wages.
   
• Inadequate security: Lack of security at residential and business premises resulting in bodily injury. Victims under such circumstances often are severely traumatized resulting in significant suffering and permanent injuries.
   
• Swimming pool accidents: Failure to eliminate or warn against hazardous conditions, lack of supervision or failure to provide appropriate safety barriers. Many times such swimming pool accidents result in devastating and tragic injuries and residuals with lifelong disabilities.
• Nursing home accidents : If you or a loved one have been injured in a nursing home you may be entitled to compensation for damages and reimbursment of attorneys fees.
