• More about Catastrophic Injury
Property owners (businesses, homeowners, or government entities) have a duty to provide a safe environment for people on their premises. Experienced premises liability attorney Matthew D. Dubin has recovered compensation for clients in a range of cases:
- Slip and fall on wet floors (supermarkets, retail stores)
- Broken or poorly constructed sidewalks, stairs, railings
- Escalator defects
- Animal attacks
- Toxic or hazardous substances
- Swimming pool accidents
- Snow and ice
- Inadequate security (robbery, rape, assault)
Investigating the Claim
We respond quickly to obtain and preserve evidence of negligence and interview witnesses. Grocery stores, for example, usually keep a log of how often they clean the aisles. If the slip and fall happened immediately after a spill, the owner may not be liable. If they had neglected a leaking cooler, ignored a known hazard, failed to keep the log current, or merchandise such as produce habitually litters the floor, you may have a case.
In dog bite cases, you can recover damages whether or not the dog had bitten before, even if it's not a "dangerous breed". The dog's owner is strictly liable (except for trespassing or provocation) for damages, including permanent scars, nerve damage, or emotional trauma.
Victims with a solid claim can collect for medical expenses and future treatment, lost wages, permanent injury, and pain and suffering. Most businesses carry general liability insurance (CGL), and the Law Office of Matthew D. Dubin can usually obtain payment for reasonable accident-related bills, often without proving liability.
