 Personal
Injury and Wrongful Death:
Automobile, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, and premises
liability
Accidents in the United States are one of the leading causes of death in
injuries. Accidents can be in the form of automobile, motorcycle, truck,
bicycle, and pedestrian accidents. Accidents that lead to personal injury
and/or death caused by others may be compensable and early investigation and
prompt preservation of evidence is critical. Whether you are a driver,
passenger, or pedestrian, you should seek medical attention immediately and
this should be followed by legal advice as soon as possible.
Among some of the most serious traffic incidents involve motorcycles,
pedestrians, and bicycles. Serious injuries result when struck by a moving
vehicle with very little protection.
Premises
Liability:
Slip and falls and inadequate security cases are called premises liability claims. These
claims involve injuries sustained on the property or premises of a negligent
third party. Slip and fall claims results from a fall caused by a defective
condition, foreign substance or object. A successful recovery requires being
able to show how long the defect or substances was there, how visible it
was, and how much notice the owner had of the dangerous conditions before
the accident.
Premises liability cases also involve incidents of negligent security,
especially when a serious crime or attack occurs that could have been
prevented through better security conditions.
Dog Bites:
It is estimated that each year there are approximately 800,000 dog bite
attacks in the United States that require medical attention. Many of the dog
bite victims are children. Each year, thousands of children are seriously
injured and scarred for life by dangerous dogs. The cost of the dog bite
attacks in medical bills alone is staggering. Unfortunately, the emotional
costs to the victims is even higher. Baron & Herskowitz has extensive
experience in pursuing claims for damages on behalf of victims of all ages
for dog bites or attacks.
