Personal Injury

If you were injured because someone else was careless, you shouldn’t be left dealing with medical bills, lost income, and insurance companies on your own.

At Pustylnik Law, we represent plaintiffs in personal injury claims with a focus on serious, legitimate cases — not quick settlements that leave you short.

Types of Cases We Handle:

• Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents
• Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
• Rideshare Accidents (Uber/Lyft)
• Hit and Run Accidents 
• Slip/Trip and Fall Injuries
• Construction-related Injuries (non-worker claims)
• Other negligence-based Injuries

Clients Usually Come to Us When:

• Injuries require medical treatment or physical therapy
• They missed work or can’t return to the same job
• The insurance company is delaying or minimizing the claim
• They’re being pressured to settle quickly

At Pusylnik Law, we represent people injured in accidents where another party’s decisions, driving, or conduct caused harm.  Our focus is on proving liability, documenting damages, and protecting your long-term recovery; not just closing files. 

Personal injury claims focus on proving:

• Who caused the accident
• Whether laws or safety rules were violated
• The full impact of injuries on your life

That includes:

• Medical treatment and future care
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and physical limitations
• Long-term effects on daily activities

Insurance companies move quickly in auto cases — often before you understand the full extent of your injuries.  Early legal guidance helps:

• Preserve accident evidence
• Secure witness statements
• Prevent damaging recorded statements to insurers
• Ensure proper medical documentation

Waiting too long can weaken even strong claims.

Some injuries aren’t accidents — they’re the result of dangerous buildings that were never properly repaired, maintained, or built in the first place.

Premises liability cases focus on unsafe property conditions, not just the injury itself.

We represent people hurt because a property owner failed to fix known hazards or comply with basic safety standards.

Unsafe Conditions Often Include:

• Broken or unstable stairs
• Loose or missing handrails
• Collapsing ceilings or falling fixtures
• Uneven flooring and trip hazards
• Poor lighting in hallways and stairwells
• Icy or wet walking surfaces

These are not random events — they are usually maintenance failures or construction defects that were ignored.

Many premises cases involve:

• Improper repairs
• Shortcuts during renovations
• Code violations
• Temporary “patch jobs” that fail

Because we understand construction, we evaluate whether the hazard was caused by:

• Poor original construction
• Negligent renovation work
• Long-term maintenance neglect

That matters because it affects who is legally responsible — owner, manager, contractor, or multiple parties.

To win a premises liability case, it must be shown that the owner:

• Created the dangerous condition, or
• Knew about it and failed to fix it, or
• Should have known about it through reasonable inspections.

These cases are evidence-driven and often depend on:

• Prior complaints
• Repair records
• Building code requirements
• Physical inspection of the defect

Early investigation is critical before conditions are altered or repaired.

Personal injury focuses on how you were hurt.

Premises liability focuses on why the property was unsafe.

That distinction allows us to pursue:

• Property owners
• Management companies
• Contractors who performed faulty repairs
• Designers or engineers in some cases

Which means broader recovery options and stronger leverage.

Because we handle all three areas — construction defects, property damage, and personal injury — we can identify the correct legal path from the start instead of forcing cases into the wrong category.
