The Weitz Firm, LLC has announced the expansion of its personal injury services into South Philadelphia and Passyunk Square. This move addresses an increasing demand for legal representation in cases related to slip and fall incidents, premises liability, and negligent property maintenance.
With a reputation for handling complex catastrophic injury litigation, the firm is responding to a rise in claims associated with hazardous conditions. Such hazards include slippery surfaces, inadequate lighting, faulty stairways, and ice-related dangers found in both residential and commercial environments. These situations frequently lead to severe injuries, such as fractures, concussions, and back injuries, which can have significant financial and personal repercussions.
Focus on Premises Liability
The Weitz Firm emphasized the responsibilities of property owners, stating, “Property owners across Pennsylvania are required to maintain reasonably safe environments. When they fail, the consequences can be life-altering for victims.” To better serve the local community, the firm has established a dedicated team focused specifically on premises liability cases.
This team is bolstered by The Weitz Firm’s extensive network of attorneys experienced in various areas of personal injury, including nursing home abuse, motor vehicle accidents, product liability, and medical malpractice claims. The firm’s methodology for addressing slip and fall cases involves a thorough on-site investigation, collection of physical evidence, and review of maintenance logs. They also consult with medical professionals and accident reconstruction experts to establish liability and assess damages.
Accessible Legal Services
To facilitate access to legal assistance, the firm now offers free consultations for injury victims within the targeted neighborhoods. Services are provided on a contingency fee basis, allowing clients to pursue claims without any upfront costs. This model covers a range of damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and, in severe cases, wrongful death.
The Weitz Firm also notes that slip and fall cases can involve intricate legal issues, such as comparative negligence, insurance coverage limits, and statutory notice requirements. Its attorneys are well-versed in Philadelphia building codes, property maintenance laws, and relevant case law to construct robust claims and maximize client recovery.
By increasing its presence in South Philadelphia and Passyunk Square, The Weitz Firm aims to hold negligent property owners accountable while ensuring that victims have access to experienced legal counsel during their recovery process.
