More than eight million visit a hospital emergency room after a slip and fall accident each year, announces David Resnick & Associates, P.C.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/03/2015 -- Individuals often fail to recognize the prevalence of slip and fall accidents, yet this type of injury accounts for more than eight million hospital emergency room visits each year, accounting for 21.3 percent, as reported by the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI). Individuals who are injured in this manner need to seek legal representation if they believe they may be a party to one or more slip and fall lawsuits. David Resnick Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers provide this type of representation to individuals in and around the New York area.

"One should never assume they are at fault if they slip and fall in a business or while at work. Many factors may contribute to an injury of this type, and individuals should receive fair compensation if they are injured through the fault of another. The injury may occur at an amusement park, a hotel, a theater, or other public place, yet the owner of the property can be held liable in many situations. The attorneys at David Resnick & Associates, P.C. sit down with clients to determine if they have a strong case," David Resnick, spokesperson for the law firm, explains.

Approximately five percent of individuals who fall experience a fracture, as reported by the NFSI, and eleven percent of job-related fatalities are the result of a fall for men, For women, this decreases to five percent, yet it's still a large number. Although this does not lead to slips and falls being considered a primary cause of fatalities on the job, they are the main cause of time missed from work, and they account for the primary cause of workers' compensation claims.

Resnick wants to ensure workers understand their employer must keep them safe while on the job. Whether a sidewalk hasn't been cleared of ice or water has been left standing on the floor, yet isn't properly identified as a hazard, the business owner can be held responsible. These are just two of many situations where an employer may be held liable for his or her actions or the actions of employees working for him or her.

The workplace isn't the only source of slip and fall injuries. Half of accidental deaths which occur in a home come following a fall. Most occur at ground level also, meaning the individual didn't fall from a height. In fact, one of every three individuals over the age of 65 will fall this year, half of which will be a second or subsequent fall. In 2005 alone, the latest year statistics are available for, almost 16,000 individuals over the age of 65 died after a fall.

"Every individual needs to be concerned about this trend. Although slip and fall injuries in the home typically won't lead to a lawsuit, individuals need to be aware of these dangers. David Resnick & Associates, P.C. wants to see everyone remain safe at home and at work. Please visit the site to learn more about injuries of this type and when one may have a lawsuit against another party. We are ready and willing to assist all in this situation," Resnick declares.

Leading personal injury firm, with over $60 million in total awards, once again takes up the cause of those who suffer the debilitating effects of exposure to lead, David Resnick & Associates reports

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/28/2015 -- Leading personal injury practice David Resnick & Associates, P.C., announced that the firm is once again taking on clients who have suffered from lead poisoning or related problems. With over $60 million in damages awarded to clients, David Resnick & Associates is one of the country's top personal injury specialists, and founder David Resnick is an especially experienced and successful lead paint poisoning lawyer. Although lead was banned from use as a paint additive in 1978 in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control estimates that over 4 million American households today include children who regularly come into contact with such dangerous substances, with as many as a half a million of them showing signs of harmful exposure to lead.

"Decades since the developmental dangers that lead presents have become well-understood, exposure continues to plague many of the country's youngest and most vulnerable," Resnick stated, "Oftentimes, this issue is wholly preventable and the fault of those who cut corners or seek to hide the dangers, sometimes resulting in lifelong problems for children who fall prey to it. We at David Resnick & Associates stand ready to represent families and individuals who have suffered such senseless damage, and our strong record of success shows how capable we are of getting the job done."

Adults who are exposed to the metallic element lead, whether through incidental ingestion, aspiration, or other means, can suffer a variety of disconcerting and potentially dangerous short-term symptoms. As frightening as these incidents might be, children are much more vulnerable, with lead exposure directly inhibiting brain development and otherwise stacking the odds against their living up to their natural potential.

Most of these firm, scientific conclusions were established by the early 1970s, but the ubiquity of lead in everyday life made it difficult for authorities to shield the populace at a fell swoop. Instead, regulations were written that prohibited the further use of lead in a wide variety of products, from household paint to retail gasoline. These efforts undoubtedly prevented countless potential cases of lead exposure, but they also left large quantities of lead extant where it could continue to do harm.

Lead paint that was put up before the 1978 ban is one of the most pointed sources of this danger today. Even regular but incidental exposure can cause developmental problems in children, lowering IQ levels and inhibiting lifelong potential. Some children, sadly, continue to suffer even more acute exposure, with the results sometimes condemning them to lives of dependency or outright helplessness.

David Resnick & Associates, P.C, has been a leading force for obtaining the awards that those adversely affected in this way deserve. A David Resnick Lead Paint Poisoning Attorney individually reviews each case that is brought to the firm, providing free, no-obligation counsel regarding whether a basis for proceeding further exists.
