Types of Injuries on Property
Slip & Falls
Snow, ice, or spills can create a dangerous surface to walk on. These can cause serious injuries, especially for the elderly.
Dog Bites
Dog attacks are traumatic and damaging. New York law on dog bites makes proving liability challenging. Our team of expert dog bite attorneys can investigate the incident to determine responsibility.
Inadequate Maintenance
Property owners are required to maintain their properties safely to the best of their ability. Broken stairs, gutters, cracked sidewalks, and loose handrails are some examples of negligence.
Common Injuries Eligible for Compensation
Fractures
Accidents can happen quickly, and many people are unprepared when they do. It’s not uncommon for a victim to break a leg, arm, or rib in a fall.
Spinal Cord Injuries
When the spinal cord is compacted or stretched due to an impact, severe and permanent injuries can occur. Some people lose sensation and movement in parts of their bodies after a spinal cord injury. In the gravest cases, the victim may suffer paralysis.
Brain Injuries
People may hit their heads during a slip-and-fall accident and suffer traumatic brain injury as a result. Concussions can cause acute pain, debilitating migraines, personality changes, and other symptoms.
Infections
Dog bites can be serious and require immediate medical attention. Infections are a serious side effect that can cause further suffering for the victim.
FAQs for On-Premises Injuries
How quickly should I speak to a lawyer after being hurt in a fall?
You should speak with one of our experienced lawyers as soon as you can after an injury on someone’s property. Insurance companies retain teams of attorneys and investigators to begin their defense within hours after they learn about an accident. Call us today if you’ve been injured and need representation.
How much can I get from my injury on a property case?
Every incident is different. There’s no simple rule to determine the monetary worth of each injury on a property case. Compensation can include recovery for medical bill payment, injury treatment not covered by insurance, income loss resulting from time spent recovering from injuries, and pain and suffering. Our free case evaluations can help determine the expected worth of your case.
How much does it cost to hire an injury-on-property lawyer?
You don’t pay any legal fees until we win or settle your case. We review your premises liability case for free, and there is no deposit or advance fee required. When a settlement or verdict is reached, then our legal fee is calculated at a percentage (usually one-third) of the total amount awarded. This is called a contingent fee agreement, which is how most personal injury lawyers are paid. Call us today for a free consultation.
