Investigation
Our inadequate lighting injury lawyers in New York will conduct a comprehensive investigation to gather evidence, including photographs, witness statements, maintenance records, and inspection reports, to determine the extent of the inadequate lighting and its contribution to the incident.
Expert Analysis
We may consult with lighting experts and engineers to assess the lighting conditions and determine if they meet industry standards and building codes. These experts can provide valuable insights into whether the lighting was sufficient to prevent foreseeable accidents.
Property Owner Negligence
Our personal injury attorneys in NYC will examine whether the property owner fulfilled their duty of care to maintain a safe environment for visitors and tenants. This may involve reviewing maintenance records, security policies, and past incidents to establish a pattern of negligence.
Municipal Liability
If the inadequate lighting occurred on public property, our legal team will investigate whether the municipality failed in its duty to provide adequate lighting and maintain the infrastructure. This may involve reviewing municipal codes, lighting plans, and maintenance schedules.
Comparative Negligence
Attorney Michael “The Bull” Lamonsoff is aware of the various strategies used by defendants. We will anticipate these potential defenses, such as claims of contributory negligence on the part of the plaintiff. Our NYC inadequate lighting injury lawyers will gather evidence to refute these claims and establish that the defendant's negligence was the primary cause of inadequate lighting and resulting harm.
