People flock to historic downtown neighbourhoods not just because of their beautiful cobblestone streets and old-timey buildings, but also because of the behind the scenes dangers that nobody’s ever really talking about. Just a little bad luck can catch you off guard and send you tumbling to the ground. The layout of these places can be seriously confusing, uneven ground, crumbling sidewalks and older infrastructure that just can’t keep up with the modern safety standards. We see people all the time who thought they could avoid lawyers after a minor accident, only to discover that their injuries were a whole lot worse than they thought, and the people who were supposed to be helping them aren’t being nearly as helpful as you’d like.

Things go down in these tiny towns in a very different way than in the big cities. It’s largely because of the old buildings, the wonky walkways and the overall state of the infrastructure that can all lead to some pretty sticky premises liability issues. And that includes working out who’s actually responsible for keeping the place safe. That can involve owners, businesses and even government officials.
When you come to us for a consultation, we take a real close look at every single detail of your accident and the damage you’ve suffered as a result. We go through all your medical records, the police report, insurance letters, photos from the scene and any witness accounts to get a full picture of what’s going on.

You might want to keep an eye on how people drive in these towns when the seasons change, things can get pretty wild especially when you got a mix of locals and tourists around.

Insurance companies are always on the phone to people who’ve been in an accident, often even before you’ve had a chance to see a doctor or figure out the full extent of your injuries. And let’s be honest, their main goal is to cut a good deal for their company, not to make sure you’re treated fairly. We advise people to steer clear of the insurance companies and any offers they make until you’ve talked to a lawyer who can give you a straight dope on what’s going on.
You can get hurt in all sorts of ways, car accidents, slipping on the ice, premises liability cases or even incidents caused by shoddy products or unsafe conditions. And every single case needs to be looked at very carefully to figure out who’s at fault and what kind of damages you’re owed.

Luckily for you, we at Longo Lawyers always know what the important dates are.
