Mr. Ranzenhofer and his attorneys were great! My case was handled quickly and I got a great result – $300,000. I fell at my doctor’s office, so I knew it was a hard case. Mr. Ranzenhofer developed a strategy that got me a great result. I highly recommend Mr. Ranzenhofer and his team of attorneys.

I feel I was treated great. Mr. Ranzenhofer responded quickly with call backs and any questions, there were never any doubts of where my case was and he was always reassuring that being patient was the answer. And it was. I want to thank him and his legal team especially with the office personnel always friendly and also quick responses when messages were left. Highly recommended. Thanks for everything

anonymous via I was hit head on in a car accident and had got injured. I contacted Mike Ranzenhofer and he got started the process of getting money for me for my pain and suffering and future medical bills. Every time I called or came to his office he always took his time to help me. And we eventually won the case. He is an amazing lawyer and person himself and I would fully recommend him to anyone.
Do you remember the last time you saw someone slip and fall? The location could have been a parking lot or a grocery store. You have probably seen this happen more than once. Slips and fall injuries are no joke. Oftentimes, they result in broken bones and torn ligaments. The injuries get worse if an elderly person is the one who slipped and fell. Frequently, elderly people suffer broken or fractured hips that they will need to get replaced. Of course, the most serious injury is one to the head. Head injuries can cause long lasting and sometimes permanent damage. At Friedman & Ranzenhofer, our dedicated Rochester slip and fall lawyers are ready and willing to help if you have been a victim of an irresponsible slip and fall incident.
There are several factors that need to be reviewed in order to determine if someone was negligent in causing your fall.
In New York State, property owners have a responsibility to maintain their property in a way that prevents visitors from being injured. If you or a loved one has been injured because of someone’s negligence in maintaining their premises, then that person or business is responsible for your injuries. If we are able to prove the four elements shown above, then the owner of the property is to blame for your injuries, and you deserve to be compensated.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured from a slip and fall, contact one of our dedicated Rochester slip and fall lawyers to schedule a free confidential consultation. Our attorneys would be happy to discuss your injuries and legal options. Don’t settle for less, let our experience work for you.
“Friedman & Ranzenhofer provided prompt, courteous and professional assistance regarding a current legal issue. We have used the services of this firm repeatedly because of their consistent high quality service levels.”
