Pet owners are responsible for maintaining adequate control of their animals at all times. Unfortunately, not all pet owners do so, and sometimes out-of-control pets injure other people. When this happens, the animal's owner and any other person responsible for the animal at the time are liable for any damage that results from their negligence. If an unrestrained dog attacks and bites a pedestrian, for example, that dog's owner may be compelled to answer for his or her negligence in failing to control a dog with dangerous propensities by paying compensation, usually through homeowner's insurance, for the injury caused by the dog. Serving New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, our personal injury lawyers will take aggressive legal action on your behalf if you have been injured by an inadequately controlled domestic animal. We will do everything within our powers to ensure that you are compensated fully for the costs of your injury.
Amusement park rides are intended to provide safe thrills, but poor design, shoddy upkeep, and insufficient supervision put park patrons at risk. When an amusement park patron is injured on a ride as a result of negligent installation, maintenance or operation of the rides, the park may be held liable for all damages stemming from the incident. The park's management, lawyers, or insurance company may offer a settlement amount to affected patrons that is not sufficient to cover their costs, but our New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania personal injury lawyers will fight to make sure that injured riders receive full justice for their injuries.
The owners and operators of malls, parking garages, and other public premises are obligated to maintain sufficient security so that patrons can use their facilities in reasonable safety. Injuries, theft, and other damages stemming from violent crime in these places are often made possible by negligent security. If you are hurt in an area where you should have been able to expect safety, you may be able to recover compensation from whoever allowed a dangerous environment to exist. Our personal injury lawyers can help you determine who is at fault.
Injuries that take place on or around the water are governed by a special set of laws known as maritime and admiralty laws.

Boating accidents are often associated with excessive alcohol consumption, but may also be caused by the failure to provide adequate steering and stopping mechanisms, or by accumulations of carbon monoxide on or behind the boats. In New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, Locks Law personal injury lawyers are prepared to assist you to evaluate and pursue your claims for boating injuries. Our team can help you obtain compensation for injuries that you or someone you love has sustained during a boating accident.
Too often college students suffer serious physical and emotional injuries from hazing practices of fraternities. When colleges or the national fraternities or sororities turn a blind eye to these boorish practices, they can be held liable for negligent supervision. If you have suffered injury as a result of fraternity or sorority hazing which should have been known and regulated by the colleges and national fraternities, you may have a case against both the fraternity and the college. Our New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania personal injury lawyers can assist you with such a case.
Most sports injuries do not result in valid claims for compensation because the risks of the game are often considered to be assumed. This is usually true if the rules of the game are being followed at the time of the injury. However, when negligently designed drills that do not follow the rules of the game cause injury or when inadequate precautions are taken in the use of dangerous instrumentalities such as trampolines or dangerous exercises then a claim may exist. Inadequate maintenance of facilities used may also give rise to a claim. Further, if the safety rules of the game are violated and result in injury a claim may also exist. Our attorneys can help you evaluate these cases and determine if you have a case.
