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.

Steps to take after an injury
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.
These heavy loads, together with weight shifting inside the RV, place too much pressure on tires that are inadequate for the load, resulting in sudden tire failures. RV manufacturers are accused of under rating the axle weight of their vehicles and equipping them with tires that cannot bear the load. The tire failures normally occur in the front end of the RV, which has only single tires on each side instead of doubles.

A front blow-out makes it almost impossible to steer. Additionally, due to the fact that many RVs are only used a month or two a year, the tires are often old, increasing the risk of tire separation. The National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTA) is investigating tire failures in Class A motor homes.
The agency reported that as purchasers of Class A motor homes select an increasing number of features, such as slide-out galleys and bedrooms, the weight of the vehicles increase resulting in higher axle and tire loads. The agency has recommended that RV manufacturers install larger tires and upgrade other load-carrying components, or increase the specified inflation pressures for tires.
