Ice & Snow Accidents

Central New Jersey, Snow Accident Injury Lawyer

Every year in the northeast, thousands of people are seriously injured when they slip and fall on ice and snow that should have been properly removed by the property owner. At the personal injury law firm of Drazin and Warshaw P.C., we handle snow and ice injury cases that include real negligence on the part of the property owner and subcontractors responsible for removing ice and snow from common areas. Too often, those responsible for proper snow or ice removal ignore common sense and leave people exposed to unnecessary dangers. Easily remedied hazards are often not addressed until it is too late. Care commensurate with the risk is a must. Quick, superficial plowing and rush jobs invite injury. Property owners must make reasonable inspections following plowing or shoveling and request the use of sand or salt before the public is exposed to hazardous parking lots, sidewalks and stairways. "Black ice" presents special dangers and must be addressed with sand or salt during weather conditions that cause thawing followed by refreezing of runoff.

Lawsuits can and do deter carelessness by landlords, property owners, condo associations and contractors who should carefully perform snow removal. Promoting public safety is a goal that can be promoted by legitimate lawsuits which shift the loss from the victim to those responsible for maintaining parking lots, sidewalks and stairways.

Our attorneys don't handle frivolous lawsuits. We only file law suits against parties that are legitimately responsible. We hire the best experts to analyze liability of all potential parties. Because of our reputation for carefully screening cases to ensure they have merit insurance company attorneys and property owners understand how serious we are when we handle a case. Insurance defense attorneys don't think that juries will take ice and snow accident cases seriously and there is often a tendency for insurance defense lawyers to underbid a case. That simply means that they don't think they have to make a serious settlement offer because clients will be hesitant to take their case to trial. Drazin and Warshaw has a verdict and settlement record that proves that our clients will have the confidence to go the distance and we will not back down. Our experienced trial lawyers are serious about fighting for justice for victims, and we are determined to be the voice for victims. Standing up to insurance companies comes naturally, and we are proud of our reputation.
