The Law Firm of Lawrence Landskroner & Associates Located in Cleveland, Ohio, the Law Firm of Lawrence Landskroner & Associates represents clients nation-wide with serious injuries. Our areas of practice include:
ATV/Motorcycle Damages/Recreational Vehicles When a motorcycle is made with a defective part resulting in a crash, or a 3 wheeled ATV is defectively designed so that it rolls over on the operator as a result of its high center of gravity, the manufacturer may have breached its duty to the consumer to produce a safe product that is capable of being used as advertised or marketed. When an injury results, manufacturers must be responsible for their negligence.

When a class of people are injured, misled or damaged by the conduct of a wrongdoer, the group's strength in numbers may justify an action brought by the group instead of the individual. Whether an injury arises from corporate stock fraud or a neighborhood chemical spill, often the position of the class or group of individuals may enhance the position of any one individual. Visit our Published Articles & Media Coverage page and Cases We Handled page for a look at some of our success stories. Whether it is adding a hidden fee or failing to provide full work related benefits, corporations hold unknowing workers, consumers and innocent bystanders at their mercy. In the areas of their expertise, large corporations, insurance companies, banks and even selected politicians can prey on the ignorance of the general public. Through the use of class action lawsuits and punitive damages, plaintiffs hold wrongdoers accountable for their actions that affect all of us. Organizations such as Trial Lawyers For Public Justice and The Association of Trial Lawyers of America pave the way for the protection of our person, our wallets and even the environment. Lawrence Landskroner & Associates takes an active role independently and through participation and leadership in these organizations to protect consumers and members of the general public.

Products that are not safe for their intended use often injure people. Products can be inadequate in their design, manufacture or labeling. Injury can occur in the home from defective products used in our daily lives, such as defective knife sharpeners, contaminated food, hair dryers that cause fires or garage door openers that have no safety shut off. Defective products can also cause injuries during recreation. For example, three wheel vehicles can rollover and motorcycle or football helmets can fail to protect. Injuries from defective products also occur in the workplace, a punch press goes off unexpectedly, an oven explodes, a gas valve leaks. Consumers have rights that protect them from defective or unreasonably dangerous products, and manufacturers have a duty to make a safe product.

Hazardous Substances/Pollutants/Toxic Injury When dangerous chemicals, toxic substances, and/or hazardous applications expose people and the environment to contamination, disease is often the result. These diseases, such as cancer or lung disease, do not always become immediately apparent and can remain dormant for many years after the exposure. Manufacturers and companies that use dangerous substances and products are required to protect people from exposure. When companies fail to do so and injury, disease or environmental damage results, they are held accountable, even if the injury is not discovered until years later.

Often we are forced to put our trust in doctors and hospital staff to care for our loved ones. We are at a disadvantage because we do not have the knowledge that medical professionals maintain. So when a medical mistake occurs, the patients and their families are entitled to an explanation. When a hospital or doctor did something they should not have done or failed to do something they should have done and injury results, it constitutes medical malpractice. Physicians and hospitals are held accountable for their mistakes and/or misconduct. Medical negligence cases provide patients and their families with answers and accountability when the medical professionals fail to do so.

Injury that results from the negligence, failure to act reasonably or intentional conduct of another person or entity gives rise to a claim for personal injury. Personal injury claims can include both physical and/or emotional injury. Lawrence Landskroner & Associates has the experience to handle complex and catastrophic injuries.

Premises Liability, Unsafe Environments, and Inadequate Security When the owners of a property or business invite the public onto their premises as a guest or a patron the owners have responsibility to make sure the premises are safe for use. Security may be required to keep patrons safe and maintenance may be necessary to keep the area safe. Failure to meet these obligations may result in liability.

Many railroad crossings are maintained in an unsafe condition with no gates, guards, bells, whistle posts or adequate warnings to automobiles and /or pedestrians. Some crossings do not provide clear visibility of on-coming trains because of overgrown shrubs, trees or even buildings. Other crossings do not provide level pavement over the rail making a crossing a "blind" crossing. In many instances, these types of defects create an ultra hazardous train crossing. When a railroad crossing is not safe, the railroad companies, cities, townships, and counties may share responsibility for crashes occurring at the crossing.

Workplace Injury and Industrial Accidents Workman's Compensation Statutes provide a remedy and compensation for people injured at work. In some situations, injuries result in the workplace from working conditions that are unsafe. When employers are aware of these circumstances they have an obligation to correct them. If they fail to do so, they can be held responsible for the resulting injuries or deaths. Defective machinery in the workplace can also result in injury and/or death. In these situations, if an employer is aware of the defective or unreasonably dangerous condition, it may share responsibility with the manufacturer for the harm that results from exposure to the danger.

Wrongful Death and Catastrophic Injury When death occurs prematurely by means other than natural causes, a wrongful death claim may exist. In this type of claim, the family as a group and on behalf of the estate can seek to recover damages for the loss of love and companionship, as well as economic losses to the estate. A wrongful death claim is brought in addition to claims based on improper or negligent conduct such as medical malpractice, product defect, intentional tort, etc. If you would like to view some of the media publicity our law firm has received on Wrongful Death Cases visit our Published Articles & Media Coverage page, or visit our Cases We Handled page for a look at some of our success stories.
