Slip & Fall Accidents and Injuries
The owners of homes, commercial buildings, restaurants, supermarkets and other stores are required to maintain those properties in a safe condition. At The Law Offices of Michael P. Burakoff, P.A. in Morristown and Wayne, New Jersey, we hold premise owners accountable for injuries sustained in slip & fall and other accidents caused by unsafe or substandard conditions.
Unsafe Conditions
Property owners are obligated to keep their buildings and the surrounding area free of hazards. Major retail stores, supermarkets, and other businesses may be responsible for compensating customers who have been injured by poorly maintained parking lots and sidewalks, inadequate snow and ice removal, faulty product displays, or a slippery floor surface due to a spill that was not cleaned up in a timely manner.
Many slip & fall accidents occur on the job. If a work related accident has been caused by the carelessness and negligence of a third party, the worker can pursue a personal injury claim in addition to a workers' compensation claim against the employer. Identifying that third party liability claim is what most lawyers overlook and what has given attorney Michael P. Burakoff a reputation for success and a loyal client base.
Holding the Negligent Accountable
While supermarkets and other retail stores, and their insurance carriers, frequently deny fault in slip and fall accidents, we are more than up to that challenge at the Law Offices of Michael P. Burakoff. We will enlist the help of investigators, engineers and other experts to establish fault on the part of the property owner. We will also work with your treating physicians to document the nature and extent of the injuries and disabilities you have sustained.
