At the San Jose Law Office of John J. Garvey III, our attorney and staff have been helping people who have suffered serious falling injuries for more than 30 years. Our clients include people who have fallen because of negligence by another party, whether an individual, a corporation, or a government agency. We also assist those who were injured in falls due to defective equipment or building design. If you believe your injury from a fall was caused by negligence or misconduct, contact an experienced personal injury lawyer to learn about your options and your rights.

Helping People Who Have Fallen, Whatever the Cause

We have been able to obtain payment for people injured because of a fall. We fight for the maximum amount of compensation allowed by law; this usually includes past and future medical expenses, lost past and future wages, and pain and suffering. Our clients include people injured because they fell:

• On a construction site with equipment left out or defective ladders and scaffolding
• On retail property such as a supermarket, big box discounter or restaurant
• In an apartment building with poor lighting or weak and missing handrails,
• On a street with unguarded holes or open utility covers
• In the workplace because of defective equipment or building design

They have suffered spinal cord injuries and blunt trauma head injuries because of falls off roofs and catwalks; slips on floors and walkways wet from spills and rain; and falls from heavy construction and earth moving equipment. Whatever the cause of the fall and nature of the injury, if it was the result of negligence, we fight for the right of injured people to recover the compensation they need to regain their health.

Experience Counts in Cases Involving Falls

If you have fallen and been injured because of negligence, contact a lawyer who has the experience and dedication to work hard to get you the compensation you need. Call the San Jose law firm, the Law Office of John J. Garvey III to schedule a free initial consultation.
