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.

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.
