Mr. Ranzenhofer and his attorneys were great! My case was handled quickly and I got a great result – $300,000. I fell at my doctor’s office, so I knew it was a hard case. Mr. Ranzenhofer developed a strategy that got me a great result. I highly recommend Mr. Ranzenhofer and his team of attorneys.

I feel I was treated great. Mr. Ranzenhofer responded quickly with call backs and any questions, there were never any doubts of where my case was and he was always reassuring that being patient was the answer. And it was. I want to thank him and his legal team especially with the office personnel always friendly and also quick responses when messages were left. Highly recommended. Thanks for everything

I was hit head on in a car accident and had got injured. I contacted Mike Ranzenhofer and he got started the process of getting money for me for my pain and suffering and future medical bills. Every time I called or came to his office he always took his time to help me. And we eventually won the case. He is an amazing lawyer and person himself and I would fully recommend him to anyone.

First, it’s very important to make sure you’ve documented exactly what happened with your accident or injury. The date, the time, the names and addresses of those involved, as well as details of what happened are critical components that you’ll need as you try to work through the problems you’re having. If you’ve been in a car accident, we already have a checklist you can use. You can see the checklist at our Car Accident Checklist page.

Secondly, you really should contact an Injury Attorney in Buffalo as soon as possible….because the other party’s Insurance Company is probably already working behind the scenes…and preparing to defend its client.

Contacting an accident attorney is really very simple – and for your case, it’s a Free Consultation. I’ll provide the accident and injury help you need by spending time reviewing the facts with you to be able to tell you what possible remedies you have and make suggestions on how to proceed.

New York law establishes certain filing deadlines, called statutes of limitations that govern how much time an injured party has to initiate their claim for personal injuries. For the majority of personal injury claims such as motor vehicle accidents, premises liability actions, and product liability actions an injured party typically has three years from the date of their injury to file their case in court. In matters involving medical malpractice that time period is typically two years and six months. In cases of injuries where the at-fault party is a governmental entity such as a town, county, or the State of New York, a party may have has little as 90 days to file a notice of claim. Knowing how long you have to initiate your lawsuit or claim is of the utmost importance because the penalty for missing your statute of limitations is the complete dismissal of your case, meaning you can no longer receive compensation for your injuries.

New York is a “pure comparative fault” state, which means that even if you are deemed to be partially at-fault for your accident and injuries, you may still collect a recovery from the other at-fault parties. However, under New York’s comparative fault law your recovery is reduced in accordance with your percentage of fault. For example, assume you had an accident and the at-fault party is deemed to be 80% at fault, while you are deemed to be only 20% at fault. If you received a $100,000 jury award, it would be reduced by 20%, representing your percentage of fault, and you would be entitled to collect $80,000 of the award.
