Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC wants to hear your story, so our team focuses on providing compassionate, honest, and respectful care. Your comfort and needs are our top priorities. Insurers do not have your best interests at heart, and we aim to defend you against their tactics and attempts to underpay your Allentown claim or lawsuit.

As slip and fall attorneys, we know just how challenging these cases can be. If you work with our firm, we complete many tasks on your behalf, including:
The damages in any personal injury cases are always complex. There are many potential losses in this kind of accident, and they are not just financial losses.

Gathering evidence, seeking witnesses, and calling on experts is challenging if not impossible for most accident victims. We’ll work on collecting proof of your accident, injuries, and site conditions that support our claims about hazardous circumstances that led to your fall.
Our team will seek out eyewitnesses who can testify about your accident, the effects of your injuries and losses, and other topics related to your slip and fall. We also use evidence and knowledge of premises liability law to help determine liability for your accident.
Insurers may try to speak with you about the events, but this can work against you and your case. They may try to get you to give a statement that contradicts your original report of events or that downplays the severity of your injuries.
Our Allentown slip and fall lawyers will take over any communications to protect you from these attempts and protect your mental health. You should be focused on resting, not arguing with insurers.
Insurance companies are often willing to offer settlements during the negotiations phase to avoid going to court. While some insurers may offer fair and adequate settlements, others may try to lowball you.
We will negotiate a settlement that meets your needs, and we will advise you on your options. Even if we start case proceedings, the lawyers at Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC can conduct negotiations for a settlement.
When the other parties are not interested in productive negotiations, we will take your case to trial. Our attorneys have experience in courtrooms and know what it takes to present a convincing civil case, and we’ll put our experience to work for you.

A slip or trip and fall accident can happen anywhere, at any time, to anyone. Someone’s negligence is often the cause. Some potential causes of your slip and fall accident include:
No matter what caused your slip and fall, the Allentown lawyers at Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC can review your case to determine if you can claim damages.
Determining liability in a slip and fall can be complex, as our lawyers must show that the liable party knew about the hazard, or should have known, and didn’t properly warn guests or address the issue. For example, water on a store’s slippery linoleum floor is a major hazard, but figuring out if the store should have known about the issue is tricky.
We have to see what the cause of the water spill is, and if any actions were taken to address it. Was it caused by a leak that the store was aware of, but did not address in a timely manner? Did an employee forget to put out a warning sign? What does it mean to address these hazards within a reasonable timeframe?
Our slip and fall attorneys are equipped to navigate these nuanced conversations, so you do not have to face insurance companies alone.
Everyone’s injury case is different. Some may suffer more severe injuries than others, whether those injuries are physical, financial, or emotional. When you are hurt after a fall caused by negligence, Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC can help you seek damages like:
Many victims suffer injuries after slipping or tripping and falling. Some of these injuries can make life difficult during recovery, and they may even impact the victims for the rest of their lives. Some people may suffer from traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), fractures, and even paralysis.
Even strains, sprains, and tears of muscles, tendons, and ligaments can affect victims for prolonged amounts of time. Victims may need surgery, emergency care, medications, physical rehabilitation, assistive devices, hospital stays, and other forms of care to treat and manage their injuries.
Pain and suffering, humiliation, loss of enjoyment of life, and other intangible mental and emotional damages can occur due to a slip and fall. Your emotional and mental well-being are just as important as your physical health, and you deserve compensation for these and other losses.
