11. Slip and Fall Accident Injury Lawyer & Attorney Easton PA Handling Premises Liability Accidents in Easton, Bethlehem, Allentown and Beyond into New Jersey Serving Clients throughout the Lehigh Valley Whether you or your family members are at a neighbor’s home, a daycare center, a store, mall, or other location, you expect that those locations will be safe. Even when sudden situations occur which may cause a danger to the public using that location (spilled liquids in a store, slippery grease at a restaurant or gas station, snow or ice on a sidewalk), you properly assume the owner will address those dangers quickly and resolve them. Unfortunately, many times property owners or other parties responsible for property maintenance fail to maintain their premises in a safe condition. As a result of that negligence, serious personal injury may occur. At The Margolis Law Firm, we represent people who have been injured in premises liability accidents.  These could include not only those occasions when you fall, but also when things which are improperly stored fall on you.  We will make sure that when you have been injured, your voice is heard and you get the money which you need to pay for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

13. Construction & Industrial Accidents Handling Construction/Commercial/Industrial Accidents in Easton, Bethlehem, Allentown and Beyond into New Jersey Serving Clients throughout the Lehigh Valley Workers in construction, manufacturing, and other commercial industries are frequently at risk of suffering serious, life-altering injuries based upon their work in and around heavy machinery.  Safety devices which have been removed or altered can cause someone to lose a limb in the machinery. Falls due to improper guarding can result in brain injury or spinal cord injury.  Based upon the nature of the machinery and the work areas, injuries are often life threatening or even fatal. While many times industrial accident victims are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, there are circumstances where the accident victim, or his or her family, may pursue additional compensation through a third-party negligence claim.  The Margolis Law Firm can evaluate whether there may be third-party liability against a party other than the victim’s employer.  An investigation may reveal an independent contractor who did faulty repairs or left a location in an unsafe condition, or a reseller of machinery who improperly altered machinery, rendering it unsafe.  The Margolis Law Firm will pursue the proper party and determine liability in order to make sure your voice is heard.  The result of which will be the ability to obtain full payment of medical expenses, lost earnings, and full compensation for pain and suffering.

19. Head, Neck & Spinal Cord Injuries Handling Head, Neck & Spinal Cord Injuries in Easton, Bethlehem, Allentown and Beyond into New Jersey Serving Clients throughout the Lehigh Valley While all injuries cause harm to a person and his or her family, traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be one of the most insidious types of injuries.  While outwardly the victim may appear to be recovered, family members and the people who know him or her best may see serious, ongoing problems – things the victims themselves may not be aware of, such as personality changes, mood swings, and dangerous memory loss.  Additionally, spinal cord injuries have equally serious, but much more obvious consequences including paralysis, requiring lifelong, ongoing care.

21. Motorcycle Accident Injury Lawyer & Attorney Easton PA Handling Motorcycle Accident Cases in Easton, Bethlehem, Allentown and Beyond into New Jersey Serving persons injured in motorcycle accidents in the Lehigh Valley We encourage all of our clients to wear their helmets when operating their motorcycle but realize no matter how responsible and attentive you may be when you are riding, other drivers, especially those that have never ridden, show little concern for motorcycle operators. Oftentimes others do not understand the differences between operating a car and a motorcycle, cutting off riders and causing them to lay down their bikes with resulting injury.   Thus, another driver may be at fault for your injury even though no contact occurred between your bike and their vehicle. When an injury occurs while operating a motorcycle, there are many issues that are very different from those associated with car accidents. Our motor vehicle law in Pennsylvania treats motorcycles differently from cars.  Motorcycle Insurance coverage is also different from car insurance coverage regarding medical bills, lost wages, etc. Things like “stacking” coverage with other policies may not be available. We encourage all of our clients who ride motorcycles to contact The Margolis Law Firm with questions regarding your motorcycle coverage.  Steven J. Margolis, Esq. would be happy to meet with you free of charge, even if you haven’t been in an accident, and explain what protection your current motorcycle insurance policy affords you.  Please do not wait until it is too late to find out whether you are adequately protected. Schedule Your Free Initial Consultation Today Have you been hurt in a motorcycle collision or car crash? Would you simply like to review your motorcycle insurance policy to make sure you are covered in the unfortunate event that you or someone you love may, in the future, be in a motor vehicle accident?

22. Trucking Accident Injury Lawyer & Attorney Easton PA Handling Trucking Accidents in Easton, Bethlehem, Allentown and the Lehigh Valley into New Jersey Serving Clients throughout the Lehigh Valley New Jersey and Pennsylvania roadways are home to major crossroads of commercial traffic. But when truck drivers use these conduits, not all of them abide by the rules of the road or Federal laws regarding safety.  Often the truck drivers who are involved in accidents have been speeding, driving without making required rest stops, driving for a longer period than Federal law allows, or in violation of other trucking laws.  This is made even more dangerous because of the damage a tractor trailer can do when it collides with a car, or even a SUV or pick-up truck.  Often the person in the vehicle which is struck by the tractor-trailer may be maimed or even killed. At The Margolis Law Firm, we have a comprehensive knowledge of the State and Federal laws which apply in trucking accident injury cases. Steven J. Margolis, Esq. has a long track record of results winning full compensation for people who have suffered serious injuries or lost loved ones due to the careless actions of commercial truck drivers and other motorists.

At The Margolis Law Firm, Steven J.

23. Speeding Careless/Reckless Driving Faulty Brakes Driver Fatigue/Overtime Driving Use of Drugs or Alcohol Improper Lighting/Visibility Improper Loading Steven J. Margolis, Esq. has successfully handled numerous truck accident cases for people throughout Pennsylvania, helping them recover compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, and their pain and suffering. If you have been injured in a tractor-trailer crash or any other type of trucking accident, we will make sure that your voice is heard and that you obtain the maximum compensation to which you are entitled. Fatal Truck Accidents Due to the size and speed at which commercial trucks are travelling on our highways, when accidents happen, they often result in death.  A wrongful death action would then arise, which is filed differently in the courts than a personal injury action.  If you have lost a spouse, parent, child, or other loved one due to the carelessness or negligence of a truck driver or trucking company, The Margolis Law Firm can help you obtain the compensation that the law allows for loss of financial support, funeral expenses, and also money the estate may be entitled to. We know that speaking to an attorney may not be your primary concern, but it is important that we have our retained experts review the matter as early as possible to preserve evidence and protect the rights of the family members left behind.  Therefore, we are here for you as soon as you are ready to take that necessary action and pursue your rights as well as those of the decedent’s estate.
