Personal Injury

Premise Liability:

  • Slip-Trip and Fall

  • Failure to Maintain a Safe Area for Patrons/Guests

  • Construction Sites

  • Insufficient Security

  • Overserving of alcohol

  • Dog Bites


    … all of which can lead to serious injury/permanent disfigurement


All business and property owners are under a legal duty to ensure that their premises are properly maintained and are safe. Additionally, they must also act in a reasonable manner to prevent others from being unknowingly subjected to dangerous conditions on the property. When an individual is injured on another’s property due to dangerous conditions or hazard, the business or property owner may be held liable under the legal theory of premises liability for the injuries and all resulting economic damages. This also involves government/public entities (i.e. sidewalks, airports, municipal buildings).

Established law imposes a strict time limitation to bring an action for personal injury based upon injuries sustained in a premises liability or slip/trip and fall case against government entities. Failure to act in a timely manner could result in the loss of monetary compensation for your injuries, medical bills, pain & suffering and lost wages.

There are a variety of premises liability cases that generally occur due to slippery or wet floors, damaged/uneven walking surfaces, and hazardous conditions (falling objects, leaking pipes, poisons/toxins, etc.) which occur because of negligently maintained areas, poor design, lack of proper warnings/safety devices, or conduct by the property owner/occupier. Other common premise liability cases also involve overserving of alcohol, insufficient security, and animal bites due to possessing inherently dangerous animals (certain dog breeds, reptiles etc.).

Animal Bites


We all love our pets, but animals can inflict serious bodily harm to an individual. Millions of people are injured by dog bites and animal attacks every year, and approximately one million of those injuries are serious enough to require medical attention.

In general, animal owners are responsible for the harm that their pets inflict on others, and on occasion, even if the animal doesn’t have a prior history of biting.

However, you only have a limited time within which you can file suit for damages caused by another’s pet. Failure to act in a timely manner could mean the loss of monetary compensation that you are otherwise entitled to recover, including damages for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Serious Injury / Disfigurement

Serious injuries are those that tend to continue without a resolution or do leave the person with a final and permanent resolution that can not be altered. Such serious injuries include brain injury, spinal cord injury, head injury, brain damage, paralysis (either paraplegia or quadriplegia), and amputation.

Other types of serious injuries include auditory issues (tinnitus- constant ringing in the ears); vision issues (impaired/lost eye sight); cognitive issues (memory lapse/loss; forgetfulness, PTSD, etc.). These types of injuries require extensive medical treatment, specialists in specific medical fields, ongoing observations/assessments/imaging, lengthy hospital stays, and quite often aftercare in a rehabilitation hospital with extensive physical therapy or future need of surgery.

They also possibly create permanent disfigurements leading to further medical complications, emotional/psychological injuries, along with other unexpected marital and family problems (loss of consortium -intimacy, sexual intercourse, etc.).

Sadly, certain permanent disfigurements of the face and body may not demand further medical care (i.e. scarring, crooked nose) but usually always lead to severe emotional/mental anguish for the injured person.

If you or a loved one has suffered any type of life altering serious personal injury because of another person’s negligence, you need an experienced personal injury attorney who will fight for you. Attorney Gregory Nassar has over a 15 years of experience helping injured parties get the compensation and medical care that they are entitled to.

Wrongful Death

At Nassar Law we understand that the death of a loved one is always traumatic. When the death occurs because of someone’s negligence, it makes the loss even more difficult to bare.

Several types of individuals may sue for wrongful death. These include the victims spouse, children, dependents and heirs. When suing for wrongful death, the suing party may ask for damages in the form of the decedent’s future earnings, loss of love and companionship, financial support that the decedent would have provided during the lifetime of the party suing, funeral costs, and pain and suffering.

Sadly, most negligent defendants immediately look for ways to shelter any assets when such a loss occurs, leaving the aggrieved party not only fighting for justice, but also in search of hidden assets they would be entitled to.
