        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.

        We were treated in a respectful, professional and helpful manner while preparing our wills, healthcare proxies and power of attorney. Mr. Friedman took as much time as we needed to answer all of our questions and concerns. His staff was friendly and efficient. We highly recommend him.

        I consulted with Justin Friedman in an effort to obtain reimbursement following damage to my personal property. Justin was diligent, tenacious, professional, and clearly dedicated to assisting me, all of which led to a very positive outcome. I was very impressed with his work and I highly recommend his office.

        Question:

        Can a pedestrian be partially at fault in Buffalo?

        Answer:

        A lot of times, someone who is struck by a car is seriously injured. That person will come in to see us and they’ll say, “This other driver was going a little too fast, but I wasn’t paying as close attention as I should have been.” In other words, they were partly at fault, too. What we explain in a situation like that is in New York, we have what’s called comparative fault. You don’t have to be fault-free in order to have a successful claim for an injury if you’re a pedestrian. Under comparative fault, you’re entitled to a recovery even if you are mostly at fault.

        You don’t have to be fault-free, but what you do need is an experienced attorney who can evaluate and fairly and honestly tell you how being partially at fault affects your claim. It doesn’t mean that your claim goes away. It doesn’t mean that you can’t get a recovery. What it does mean is that your claim may not be worth as much, due to the fact that you are partly at fault. You need someone to be able to explain that to you, what the laws are in New York, and how that affects your total recovery.
