Sometimes, statutes of limitations apply. Get in touch with our experienced personal injury attorney today.

We know that we need people willing to work in the often-dangerous field of a construction site. America needs its construction workers, but the building owners have an obligation to keep their construction sites safe for workers engaged in this dangerous occupation. Too often this does not happen. Construction work is one of the most dangerous occupations in America, killing or injuring thousands of workers each year, and sadly the victims are usually the family’s major source of income. Some may say that it’s the nature of the work. We don’t buy into that. The law requires general contractors and sub-contractors to provide a safe place for workers, especially when dealing with elevated heights. Of course, they try to blame you by saying that you didn’t follow instructions.

If so, you or your loved one might have suffered what is known as Medical Malpractice? Menkes Law can help you determine your rights.

We conduct thorough investigations to determine whether the doctors of hospital were negligent in their treatment and to ascertain the exact injuries that came about because of their neglect.

Property owners bear responsibility to repair unsafe conditions on their premises that could cause injuries to their guests and customers. Whether it’s a slip and fall injury caused by a wet floor in a restaurant or a poorly anchored artwork falling on top of a hotel guest as she sleeps, the property owners are responsible for compensating the victims for their injuries. The legal principle that property owners owe their guests a duty of care undergirds their responsibility to fix any unsafe situation on their property.

Have you or a loved one been injured by slipping or tripping and then falling due to a dangerous condition on the premises? Let’s talk about the circumstances and then we’ll find out whether your accident was caused by the neglect of the owner or person in charge of the premises – the one that left the premises in disrepair or in a dangerous condition. Having Menkes Law on your side can be crucial, and can make the difference in getting you the compensation you deserve.

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) constitute a third of all injury related deaths in the U.S. The most common causes are automobile accidents, slip and falls, intentional assault & battery and medical error. It’s important to understand in these cases that damage to the brain may occur not only at the time of the accident, but also over time as tissues swell and bleed within the head. This, in turn, can lead to permanent or temporary impairment of the brain’s functions, leaving the victim in varying states of debilitation, some even life-threatening. As you can imagine, we’ve seen many of these cases over the years and take them very seriously. If you or a loved one is suffering from TBI, Menkes Law will be your fiercest advocate. You can’t undo the damage to your brain, but we can get you a settlement as compensation and justice for your loss because laws exist to protect you. If you have suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury because someone was negligent, we will fight for you. We know that because you usually cannot see the brain injury, the people that caused your injury will say you are faking. We know how to fight that defense and win.
