  • I have to say, selecting a law firm is a daunting task. A simple google search alone can bring on anxiety and mass confusion on who to select to help you through difficult times in your life. Fortunately, the Bongiorno Law Firm was recommended to me by someone I respect and trust greatly. I was blessed to have Brandon Cruz represent me, and he was absolutely the epitome of a professional. Above and beyond his knowledge, his level of care and compassion is second to none. His response time was incredibly fast, and he truly fought for my best interests. I was treated as if I was a family member, and for that I am forever grateful.

Liability: Notice and Creation

A word about Notice and Creation: in most instances, in order to establish liability against the owner or tenant at the premises, it must be proven that the owner or tenant (or a contractor hired by an owner or tenant) either created the tripping hazard that caused the accident, or had notice of the tripping hazard for a sufficient period of time prior to the accident to have afforded them the opportunity to fix or otherwise remedy the condition.
