Get answers to common questions about personal injury law, case processes, and legal rights with Blitz Law Group’s comprehensive FAQ and insightful videos. Learn how we can help you. FAQ Personal Injury Help If you were involved in a scenario where someone else injured you, you may be looking at a personal injury. That said, you need certain elements for a personal injury case. For example, if someone else was acting recklessly or negligently and they caused you to become injured, you may have what you need for a personal injury case. However, one of the first questions your lawyer will ask you is if there were damages. So beyond your injuries, were you suddenly limited in some way? Were you unable to work? Did you have medical bills? Were you suffering mentally and emotionally? How do I know I have a personal injury case in New York? In a case where you are hoping to file a claim with someone else’s insurance, it is best to direct them to your lawyer. At Blitz Law Group, LLP, we know that insurance agents will do just about anything to get the victim on the phone, encourage them to open up and speak freely, and then use this information against them when it comes time to file a claim. However, the best thing you can do is to tell them you would like to speak through your lawyer. What do I do if I want to file a claim and the other party’s insurance contacts me? Anyone who files a legal claim (like a personal injury case) should be prepared in some way to go to court. The chances of going to court over a personal injury claim are low because no party involved wants it to get to court. Most of the time, you will settle your personal injury case outside of court with the help of your lawyer’s skilled negotiation techniques. If you can come to a settlement agreement, then there is no need for court. Should I Be Prepared To Go To Court? Criminal Defense Help I’m being accused of a crime but I’m innocent. What can I do? You may think that if you are innocent, it will always come out in court. This is not true, though. Even someone who is innocent may still be accused of a crime and without the skilled legal defense of a lawyer (like one from Blitz Law Group, LLP), it is possible to go away for a crime you didn’t commit. Always retain the services of a criminal defense lawyer from the beginning if you are being accused of a crime. If I explain my side to the police officers, will that help? It is almost always a bad idea to try to explain yourself to the police. It is safest to assume that your words could be twisted or misunderstood and while you should remain polite and answer basic information (confirming your name and contact information) you should wait to speak with them until your lawyer is present. And no, waiting to talk until your lawyer gets there does not make you look guilty, it makes you smart. Commercial Litigation Help Can a commercial litigator help me when I’m getting my business up and running? Absolutely! It is best to retain the help of a commercial litigator, like one from Blitz Law Group, LLP, early on in the formation of your business so that you can be prepared for anything that comes your way. When you run your own business in New York, you know that it is a matter of when a legal issue is going to come up, not if. Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you will be in the wrong. However, it does mean that you need to be prepared for whatever gets thrown your way. Would I use a commercial litigator if there is a breach of contract? If you are dealing with a breach of contract and it seems that there is no resolution in sight, know that your commercial litigation lawyer can help you through the process. When you work with a skilled lawyer, you can fight to either fulfill your contract through to completion or get compensatory, incidental, and even punitive damages back. Breaches of contract are not always so straightforward and the other party may be prepared with many excuses as to why they did not fulfill their end of the deal. Without a solid legal excuse though, they likely don’t have much ground to stand on. Real Estate Legal Help Will I need to go to court for a real estate dispute? Real estate disputes happen all the time, whether it is between a landlord and a tenant, neighbors, or between the buyer and seller of a property. Most real estate disputes can be resolved without needing to step foot in court and your lawyers from Blitz Law Group, LLP may recommend mediation to help solve the problem. This can be especially helpful for things such as property lines, contracts, noise issues, and trespassing. Should I have a real estate lawyer when purchasing property in New York? It is always prudent to have the help of a real estate lawyer when purchasing any property. Your lawyer will be able to examine your real estate documents, will be able to ensure what kinds of assets and structures are truly within the property lines that are being marketed, and your lawyer will be able to point out issues that may come up on or near your property that you may not have noticed.

PREMISES LIABILITY LAWYER What is the premise liability law in NY Premises liability law in New York is designed to hold property owners and occupiers accountable for injuries that occur on their property due to unsafe conditions. This area of law covers a wide range of incidents, including slips and falls, inadequate maintenance, insufficient security, and more. The key elements that must be proven in a premises liability case include: The existence of a dangerous or defective condition on the property The property owner’s knowledge (or should have known) of the condition A failure to repair, warn, or address the condition in a timely manner A direct link between the unsafe condition and the injury sustained Property owners have a legal duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition for visitors, tenants, and guests. When they fail to do so, they may be held liable for any injuries that result. Common Types of Premises Liability Cases At Blitz Law Group, LLP, we understand that accidents on someone else’s property can lead to significant injuries and losses. As seasoned Premises Liability Lawyers in Bronx, NY, we have handled numerous cases, gaining a deep understanding of the various types of premises liability claims. Here, we explore some of the most common scenarios that may give rise to these claims. Slip and Fall Accidents One of the most prevalent types of premises liability cases is slip and fall accidents. These incidents can occur due to: Wet or uneven surfaces Poor lighting Lack of handrails Cluttered walkways Property owners are responsible for ensuring their premises are safe, and failure to do so can result in injuries ranging from minor bruises to serious fractures or head injuries. Inadequate Maintenance Another common type of premises liability claim arises from inadequate maintenance. This can include: Failing to repair broken stairs or railings Not addressing water leaks or electrical issues Ignoring crumbling pavement or potholes Neglecting property upkeep can lead to dangerous conditions that put visitors at risk. Negligent Security Property owners also have a duty to provide adequate security to prevent foreseeable criminal acts. Premises liability claims may arise from: Lack of security cameras or lighting in parking lots Failure to employ security personnel in high-risk areas Insufficient security measures in apartment buildings or hotels When property owners fail to take reasonable steps to secure their premises, it can result in visitors becoming victims of assault, robbery, or other crimes. Dog Bites and Animal Attacks Property owners may be held liable for injuries caused by their pets or other animals on the premises. This is especially true if the owner knew of the animal’s aggressive tendencies and failed to take proper precautions. Construction Site Accidents Construction sites are inherently dangerous, but property owners and contractors must still take steps to protect workers and visitors. Common premises liability claims in this context include: Falling objects Unsafe scaffolding or ladders Exposed electrical wiring Unmarked hazards What is the statute of limitations on premises liability in NY At Blitz Law Group, LLP, we understand the importance of timing when it comes to legal matters. Our team of experienced Premises Liability Lawyers is well-versed in the statutes that govern premises liability cases in New York. One of the most critical aspects to be aware of is the statute of limitations, which sets the time limit for filing a claim. Let’s delve into what this means for individuals seeking justice and compensation. Understanding the Statute of Limitations: The statute of limitations is a law that sets the maximum time after an event within which legal proceedings may be initiated. In the context of premises liability cases in New York: The statute of limitations is generally three years from the date of the injury. This means that claimants have three years to file a lawsuit against the property owner or responsible party. It is crucial to note that failing to file within this timeframe could result in the loss of the right to seek compensation, regardless of the severity of the injuries or the clear liability of the property owner. Exceptions and Special Circumstances: While the three-year rule applies to most premises liability cases, there are exceptions and special circumstances that may alter this timeframe: If the injured party is a minor, the statute of limitations may be extended until they turn 18. In cases involving government entities, the timeframe to file a claim may be significantly shorter, and specific notice requirements may apply. If the injury was not discovered immediately, the “discovery rule” might apply, potentially extending the time to file. Given these complexities, it is paramount to consult with a knowledgeable attorney as soon as possible after an injury occurs on someone else’s property. What is the minimum Premises liability coverage in NY In New York, property owners are not mandated by law to carry premises liability insurance. However, most property owners, especially businesses, opt to have this coverage to protect themselves financially in case of an accident on their property. For those who do choose to purchase premises liability insurance, the coverage amounts can vary widely. Some key points to consider include: While there is no legal minimum, common coverage amounts range from $100,000 to $1 million. Higher limits are often recommended for commercial properties or areas with higher foot traffic. The amount of coverage a property owner has can significantly impact the potential compensation available in a premises liability case. Why Insurance Coverage Matters Understanding the insurance coverage of the property owner is a crucial step in a premises liability case for several reasons: It helps in determining the potential sources of compensation for your injuries. It provides insight into the complexity of the case, as higher coverage limits may result in more vigorous defense efforts. Contact Blitz Law Group, LLP for Expert Guidance Navigating premises liability cases can be complex, particularly when it comes to understanding insurance coverages and how they impact your case.

We meticulously review all aspects of your case, including the available insurance coverage, to ensure that we are pursuing all possible avenues for compensation.

Cognitive Consequences Memory Loss: Short-term and long-term memory can be affected. Difficulty Concentrating: Victims may find it hard to focus on tasks. Impaired Communication: This can include difficulty speaking, understanding language, or expressing thoughts. Executive Dysfunction: Challenges with planning, organizing, and problem-solving.
