Do I Have a Case?

If you have suffered a serious injury or wrongful death due to someone else's fault in causing an accident, or due to medical malpractice, a defective product or drug, police brutality or any other form of negligence, you have a right to sue for damages for your pain, suffering, mental anguish and loss of enjoyment of life, as well as past and future lost earnings, loss of support, medical bills and any other economic damages you sustain.

Immediate investigation of your case could make the difference between winning and losing. Evidence, records and witnesses can disappear, and critical evidence can be lost.
Some claims must be made within 30-days.

Call us for a free consultation as soon as you can, because time is of the essence.

What to do after an accident

Seek medical attention immediately- victims are often unaware of the extent of their injuries due to shock.

Get information identifying the person that caused the accident and any witnesses and write it down.

Take pictures (with your cell phone if necessary) to document the accident and your injuries.

Write your own account of the accident while it is fresh in your memory and list contact information for any witnesses.

Do not give any verbal or written statements to investigators or insurance companies.

Do not sign any documents offered by insurance adjusters. You could be signing away your rights to receive full compensation.

Contact the Law Firm of Jonathan C. Reiter as soon as you can, so that we can conduct an immediate investigation and file whatever papers are needed to protect your legal rights. A prompt investigation could make the difference between winning and losing your case, so do not delay.

New York Injury Accident Lawyer : Elevator/ Escalator Accidents

Elevator/ Escalator Accidents

Elevators and escalators are commonly used by thousands of people in shopping malls, hospitals, hotels, apartment buildings, and other locations across the country. These modes of transport can be extremely helpful to those who have difficulty using stairs, but when an elevator or escalator accident occurs it can be a very traumatic experience.

Elevator accidents and escalator accidents can cause significant injuries. Sudden drops in an elevator and electrical failures that may lead to doors jamming or closing too soon are examples of events that can result in serious consequences for those being transported. Unsafe elevator or escalator surfaces can also prove hazardous and lead to injury. Elevators frequently mislevel at floors due to poor maintenance practices, and this can lead to trip and fall accidents with potentially serious consequences. Poorly maintained escalators can start and stop suddenly, precipitating serious falls.

When one becomes injured in an elevator or escalator accident, there may be a premises liability claim against those whose negligence or misconduct caused the accident. Elevators and escalators are complicated pieces of machinery, and careful examination by an expert engineer is usually required to prove that the machine was defective and/or improperly maintained. Liable parties, such as property owners and maintenance companies, may be held responsible for the injured person’s personal injuries, pain, suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, lost earnings, medical expenses and other damages incurred due to this type of accident.
