DUI/DWI
As much as we have worked to improve road and driving safety, sadly car accident injuries are still a daily occurrence on New Jersey roads and highways. This is perhaps not so surprising given the high volume of traffic that passes through roads like I-287, I-80, Rt. 202, Rt. 206, and Rt. 46, on a daily basis. Add to that recent trends towards distracted driving as cellphone and smart device use is becoming more and more prevalent and the risks that drunk driving continues to present and you have a “perfect storm” combination of elements which all lend themselves to car accidents, car accident injuries, and tragically even car accident fatalities.

Wrongful Death
Severity of injuries. Motorcyclists are at an increased risk of serious injury when involved in an accident. Catastrophic injuries including spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, paralysis, loss of limb, and wrongful death are far more common for bikers than they are occupants of other motor vehicles.
Traffic Violations
Speeding or disobeying posted laws – a common refrain from cyclists is that they can at times feel pressured to travel at unsafe speeds to accommodate traffic. High speeds and cycling can be extremely dangerous
Sex Crimes
If you were sexually assaulted in the workplace, you may have a negligence claim against your employer. Your employer may have been negligent in keeping your building safe. For example, poor security measures, broken locks, poor parking lot lighting, etc. Similarly, your workplace may have been unsafe because it was a hostile environment. If you were being sexually harassed at work and your employer knew of this harassment, your employer may be held liable for allowing/permitting this environment, or failing to do anything to put a stop to it. An employer may also be held accountable for the actions of its employees without having knowledge of a hostile work environment and/or previous employee behavior. If your employers hired an employee with past sexual assault offenses, they may be liable for negligent hiring practices as well.
Theft
Assault
The terms assault and battery are often erroneously used interchangeably. An assault can be defined as the threat to use unlawful force to inflict bodily injury upon another. The threat, which must be believed to be imminent, must cause a reasonable apprehension in the plaintiff. Therefore, where the defendant has threatened some use of force, creating an apprehension in the plaintiff, an assault has occurred. The focus, for the purpose of determining whether a particular act is an assault, must be upon the reasonableness of the plaintiff’s reaction.
Hit and Run
Accidents are horrible no matter the circumstances, but a hit and run can cause even more chaos than most. In most motor vehicle accidents, the event starts with chaotic events but it ends in some form of order. The parties usually pull over, call the police, exchange information, and submit their claims to their insurance companies. In the case of a hit and run, there is no order and often, no immediate answers. Below are the steps you should take in the event you are the victim of a hit and run.

Workers Compensation
For a free and confidential consultation regarding your accident, your injuries, and your potential for financial compensation through a workers compensation claim, please contact us online or give us a call at our Morristown or Newton offices by dialing 973-455-1567 today.

Premises Liability
When property owners fail to maintain the safety of their property, parties who suffer injury from hazardous conditions may be able to hold property owners, property managers, and/or maintenance companies liable for their injury damages through what is known as a “premises liability claim”. However, there is a long and complex path between filing a premises liability claim and actually recovering the compensation that you and your family need and deserve for your injury damages. This is where retaining the services of a knowledgeable and experienced Morris County and Sussex County premises liability attorney can be of enormous benefit.
Property Damage
While it is legally required to carry motor vehicle insurance in New Jersey, many drivers do not. Along these lines, many drivers carry basic, minimal insurance policies which will not cover any damages incurred when motor vehicle accidents result in major property damage or serious injury. Thankfully, uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage may protect victims of injurious accidents while providing financial compensation to cover expenses including medical bills, property damages, lost wages, and more.

Personal Injury
Practicing personal injury law for the last 40 years, Michael Burakoff and our legal team have developed a reputation for shrewd negotiation and highly knowledgeable and effective legal counsel with our clients and insurance companies throughout New Jersey.
Medical Malpractice
Medical Malpractice – We hold doctors and hospitals to the standard required of the medical profession. We handle claims of negligence or incompetence involved in surgery errors, birth injuries, misdiagnosis, medication errors and other medical mistakes.
Auto Accidents
Social Security Disability
We also assist clients who have suffered catastrophic injuries such as burn injuries, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and other disabling injuries, including handling Social Security disability claims and appeals.
Dog Bites
As friendly and loving as most dogs can be, the fact of the matter is that even the friendliest and most loving dog can bite or attack for seemingly no apparent reason. Considering the very serious injuries that dog bites and dog attacks can cause, especially to a child, it is important that dog bite injury victims understand their legal rights and options, and are able to recover financial compensation for their medical expenses, lost income, and the physical and emotional damage a dog attack can often cause.
Slip and Fall Injury
