Premises Liability Attorneys in Erie, Pennsylvania
Even though we live in a very wintry climate, most people don't know their responsibilities for snow removal. For example, in the city of Erie there is an ordinance which requires the removal of snow and ice from sidewalks within three hours from the end of the falling of the snow or the forming of the ice. If the ice can't be removed without damage to the property then saw dust or sand must be placed to make the surface safe.
Many people who fall on ice and snow think they can't do anything because that's just a risk of living in this part of the country. But as the city ordinance shows, more is expected of property owners than we sometimes think.
With these types of accidents it is very important that you DO NOT speak to the insurance company before speaking with an attorney. Insurance company adjusters know the law and know how to get you to say things that will end your case before it ever gets started. So please speak to an attorney to know your rights before saying anything to an insurance company adjuster. Its a free consultation and it may save your case.
At Rohde & Jennings, you can find the experience and resources you need to make a full recovery. In fact, we might be the only firm in this area that has actually taken a slip and fall accident claim all the way to a successful verdict.
Insurance adjusters are trained to take statements that will hurt your case. If you make a statement without an attorney, you may unknowingly lose your case before you have even had a chance at success. Before you talk to an insurance adjuster or agree to anything — let our lawyers review the facts to see if you might have a good premises liability claim.

Dog Bite Injury Cases
Pennsylvania doesn't give dogs or dog owners "one free bite." This means that whether a dog bites a jogger, a small child or another dog ... the dog's owner may be liable for damages resulting from the attack. Unfortunately, the victim is frequently a child who will have to live with the physical and emotional scars dog attacks can cause for the remainder of his or her life.
