Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

You should definatly speak with an attorney and do not speak with risk management as they are not trying to help you. In this type of case, you need to show that the store either created the water spill or had actual or constructive notice of it. These can be hard cases. A lawyer should write to risk management asap and demand they save any surveillance that showed not only the fall but when and how the water got on the floor. While it is early yet, your husband could have a traumatic brain injury. Loss of consciousness and memory problems are signs. The scan at the hospital is meaningless because they are not specific enough tests. I am a former federal and State prosecutor and now handle accident cases so please feel free to check out my web site and contact me.

You should definitely speak to an attorney before speaking with the risk manager. Your husband sounds like he may have a sucessful claim against the grovery store, however, do not let the risk manager trick you out of your rights. You should get a copy of a police/accident report if one exists. For an absolutely FREE consultation please contact my office to discuss your husband's case.

you definitely and promptly should contact a new york injury lawyer in your area. head injuries are serious matters. i am not trying to scare you or gin things up but closed head injuries, vertigo and posttraumatic seizures are more common than you might think. DON'T give a statement to the adjuster - they are trained to promote possible defenses. good luck and get a lawyer. consultations are usually free and injury lawyers usually work on a contingent %.
