Car Accidents

Just on account of the forces involved, car accidents can come with serious injury to both passengers and drivers. To secure compensation for any damages in a car accident, you have to determine fault or liability. After any motor accident, the police will issue a crash report that names the driver at fault, whose insurance you will have to go through to get paid back. In addition, you should have your injuries checked out at a hospital to get a comprehensive record that addresses all the damage. The attorney at Flaherty Law, LLC can collect all relevant documents to support your case for compensation, in addition to gathering witness statements. We are prepared to consult with outside experts to get a complete picture of your damages.

Having a personal injury lawyer at your side is important for negotiating with the insurance company. Without professional representation, you run the risk of getting an inadequate settlement, or even denied coverage. Attorney Daniel Flaherty will advocate on your behalf, using his full knowledge of the law to protect your rights.

Premises Liability

If you are injured at a business or private residence, the owner could be held liable for your damages. This is especially common in slip-and-fall accidents, if the owner of the property did not take adequate measures to protect you from harm. Common causes of slip-and-fall accidents include:

• Parking lots covered in sleet or ice
• Poor lighting and visibility
• Tripping hazards on the floor
• Inadequate maintenance
• Lack of guard rails
• Broken stairs

In a slip-and-fall case, there are unique elements that must be proved to build a case. Namely, that the owner must have been obligated to care for you as a guest, that the owner could have reasonably prevented that harm to you, that you suffered measurable injury, and that the owner is directly culpable in that injury. Attorney Daniel Flaherty will go to great lengths to prove the owner's liability for your injuries, making sure no evidence is overlooked for your case.

The attorney at Flaherty Law, LLC knows how insurance companies will attempt to avoid claiming responsibility for an accident, and he will press them at every opportunity. With his experience, he will take steps to build up a case for your compensation and refuse to settle for a low amount. Throughout negotiation, he will keep you informed of every new development and how you can respond, providing counsel based on countless past successes.
