Dram Shop/Liquor License Liability

Dram shop liability refers to the potential liability of bars, pubs, nightclubs, restaurants, sporting venues or even individuals who negligently provide alcohol or other intoxicating substances to already intoxicated individuals who later cause a motor vehicle accident. These cases may also involve the liability of those who serve alcohol or other intoxicants to underage individuals who then injure themselves or others. Burch & Cracchiolo has considerable experience representing parties in dram shop cases.

Medical Malpractice and Nursing Home Abuse

At Burch & Cracchiolo, we understand the devastating impact that medical malpractice and nursing home abuse can have on individuals and families. Medical professionals and nursing facilities have a duty to provide a standard of care that ensures the safety and well-being of their patients. When that duty is breached through negligence, misdiagnosis, improper treatment, or abuse, it can result in serious injury or even death. Our experienced attorneys are committed to holding healthcare providers and nursing homes accountable for their actions. We work diligently to secure compensation for our clients, ensuring they receive justice and the resources they need to recover.

Premises Liability/Slip and Fall

If you or someone you care about has suffered a slip and fall or trip and fall that occurred on the premises of a business or property owner, there may be a claim for damages. These cases are often difficult to document and prove, so it is imperative to have a lawyer with the experience and resources to collect evidence and get results. 

In order to prove that business or property owner is liable there must be evidence that they either created the condition, or that they knew or should have known of the danger, or that it was otherwise a foreseeable and ongoing problem traced to the landowner’s business operations.

Prompt investigation and follow up is critical to and you must preserve the following evidence:

• Photographs or video of the dangerous condition
• Injuries attributed to the fall
• Incident Reports
• Eyewitness testimony
• Prior accidents/claims history

Our attorneys have significant experience with slip-and-fall cases allowing us to investigate the circumstances of your accident and achieve optimum results.
