Who Is Responsible for My Injuries?

Determining responsibility (liability) can be very complicated. At times, the landlord and the tenant of a property may be at fault. When the accident occurs on a construction site or other jobsite, it can be very complicated to figure out which persons or companies are responsible. Generally, the landowner or the company in control of a property has a duty to use reasonable care to keep a property in a safe condition. At Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo, we regularly sort through the maze of possible defendants to determine which persons and companies are responsible for your injuries.

Premises liability cases can occur almost anywhere, and require a prompt and thorough investigation to determine what caused the accident. Our lawyers understand the need for immediate investigation – so that we can view the accident site before conditions change. We regularly hire highly-qualified experts, who will visit the accident scene, review photographs, interview witnesses and determine who was negligent. Quickly investigating these cases, and retaining experts as soon as possible, can be the difference between winning and losing, or the difference between a large or small recovery.

Regardless of where your accident occurred, you should contact the lawyers at Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo, who will help you with your case and work tirelessly to assure that you receive all of the compensation you are entitled to.

What If I Was Working at the Time of the Accident?

If you were working or performing job-related duties, you may also be entitled toworkers’ compensation benefits, which will pay your lost wages and medical expenses. If your accident is job-related, you must notify your employer of the accident to assure that you receive all of the benefits to which you are entitled. At Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo, we regularly handle situations in which clients were injured on a property or in a car accident and also received workers’ compensation benefits. We know what to do in these situations and will make sure you receive all of the compensation the law allows.

What Type of Compensation Am I Entitled To?

If you or a loved one was injured on another person’s or company’s property, and the accident that was caused by another party’s negligence, you are entitled to compensation for all of your pain and suffering, lost wages, future lost earnings, and payment of the medical expenses you have incurred. At Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo, we have represented clients in premises liability claims for many years, and we understand how these accidents effect our clients and their families. We know what to do to get you all the compensation you are entitled to, and will make sure that everything is done to protect your rights, and to assure that you get results as quickly as possible.

What Types of Injuries Can I Receive Compensation For?

Victims injured in premises liability cases are entitled to compensation for their pain and suffering for all of the injuries they have suffered, including:

• Death
• Fractures, strains and sprains
• Neck and back injuries, including herniated and bulging disks
• Head injuries, including concussions
• Leg injuries
• Arm and hand injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Psychological, psychiatric and other emotional injuries
• Any other injuries resulting from the accident

To Whom Do I Report My Accident?

If the accident occurred at work, immediately notify your boss or supervisor. If your accident occurred at a commercial property or business, you should notify the manager or a worker on duty at the time. You should also get that person’s name in case we need to question him or her later. If necessary, you should ask to be taken to a local Emergency Room or should go to your family doctor as soon as possible.

What If the Accident Was My Fault or I Was to Blame?

Do not assume that the accident was your fault; instead, contact an attorney as soon as possible. Determining fault in premises liability can be very complex. Even if you think you were at fault, it is still possible that the accident occurred because a property owner or tenant did something or failed to do something that contributed to or caused your accident. That is why we regularly hire highly-qualified experts to determine what caused the accident, and why it occurred. Even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you may still be entitled to compensation for your injuries.

Should I Take Pictures Of The Accident Scene?

Yes. If you have a camera or cell phone, and are able to take pictures, you should take photographs. Even if we have to take additional pictures, your photographs can show the condition of the accident scene and prove that you were there.
