Don’t Let a Business or Insurance Company Undervalue Your Property Injury Claim
Quick settlements protect them, not you.
After an injury on commercial property, businesses and their insurers often push for a fast, low payout. They want you to settle before you know the full cost of your injuries, treatment, or time away from work. Accepting too soon could mean losing your right to pursue full compensation for medical care, lost wages, or long-term needs.
Let Carrothers & Clough, PLLC review your case first so you can recover the compensation you truly deserve.

What to Do After a Commercial Property Injury
1: Seek medical attention right away. Injuries like concussions, fractures, or internal harm are not always obvious.
2: Report the incident to the property owner or manager. Ask for a written incident report if possible.
3: Document the scene with photos and gather contact information from any witnesses. Do not sign anything from the insurance company.
4: Contact Carrothers & Clough, PLLC before discussing a settlement. An attorney can protect your rights and pursue the full compensation you deserve.
What counts as a commercial property injury?
These cases involve accidents that happen on business-owned property, like stores, restaurants, offices, hotels, or parking lots. If unsafe conditions caused your injury, you may have a valid claim.
Do I need to prove the property owner was negligent?
Yes. In New York, you must show that the property owner or manager knew, or should have known, about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it. Our attorneys gather evidence to establish this.
What compensation can I recover?
Depending on your case, you may recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, and other damages tied to your injuries.
What if I was partly at fault?
New York follows comparative negligence rules. This means you can still recover damages even if you share some responsibility, though your award may be reduced.
How soon should I contact an attorney?
Right away. Property owners and insurers often move quickly to limit their liability. Having an attorney early helps preserve evidence and protect your rights.
Do I have to pay for an Attorney upfront?
There is no upfront expense to you. We work on a contingent fee basis which means we don’t get paid unless you do. When you’ve been injured, you need to focus on getting well again. Let us focus on making sure you get what you deserve.
How do I know if I have a case?
That can often be a hard question; however, with our free consultation, we take the guesswork out of whether you have a claim and what you might be entitled to. Make an appointment today with our legal team to discuss your case.
