Automobile Accidents

Premises & Workplace Liability

Property owners, including private and commercial owners, are generally required under the law to maintain their properties in a safe and secure manner for those who frequent, are invited into, or are otherwise appropriately on the property site. Failing to maintain the property site in a legally safe and secure manner may create a legal responsibility to those who are injured on these premises as a direct result of such failures.

Persons injured resulting from falls on defective floors, stairs, and other conditions are among the myriad reasons which may result in a legally compensable claim. Exposure to toxic substances resulting in injury, such as lead paint and pesticides, may also create a legal obligation.

Another frequent and serious violation of owner-related negligence is the failure to implement and maintain security devices in the building to insure against untoward intruders who may assault, victimize, or rape those legally upon the site.

These owners are often responsible as well for the sidewalks fronting their properties. Uneven, cracked and/or displaced sidewalks in disrepair cause countless injuries to unsuspecting passers-by, and these owners can be held accountable under the law for their negligence and inaction.

Each of these areas of negligence are dictated by stringent time periods under the law, so if there has been such an incident experienced by you or a family member, immediate legal consultation is imperative. The Ashkin Law Firm individually addresses these claims and ensures the personal privacy, compassion, and aggressive legal attention these very special cases require.

Children’s Safety

Children are at increased risk because of their inability to identify dangers and take effective actions to avoid them. Preventing child injuries is rooted in limiting their exposure to hazardous conditions and products. Of course, children are often victimized by products and environments specifically designed for their use. Oftentimes children’s toys, clothing, sporting and recreational facilities such as playgrounds and pools, and even protective devices such as child car seats, are found to have been defectively designed, causing otherwise avoidable harm and injury.

If your child has been injured under any one of these numerous scenarios, it is imperative that you seek legal consultation on hos/her behalf immediately. While many states provide special considerations for parents or guardians bringing claims on behalf of their injured or maimed children, there are stringent time restrictions which could seriously impact upon your ability to seek full compensation.
