New York Slip and Fall Lawyer Samantha Kucher Explains The Burden of Proof in a Slip and Fall Accident

Apr 22, 2022

April 22, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - New York slip and fall lawyer Samantha Kucher releases a new article (https://www.rrklawgroup.com/should-i-get-a-lawyer-for-a-slip-and-fall/) explaining the burden of proof in a slip and fall accident. The lawyer mentions that slip and fall accidents usually happen when people least expect them. Falls can cause serious injuries and some of these injuries are matters of negligence.

“A slip and fall accident is one that is protected under premises liability law in New York. If you are lawfully on someone else’s property and you are injured in an accident caused by the owner’s negligence, premises liability law says that party may be liable for your injuries. Although they are commonly called “slip and fall” accidents, any injury caused by an unsafe condition may be covered under this law,” says the New York slip and fall lawyer.

The lawyer explains that the burden of proof is one of the complexities in a slip and fall accident claim. The victim must prove that negligence was involved in order to collect compensation from a slip and fall accident. Certain elements that must be proven include that the person was on the property lawfully and that the owner knew about the unsafe condition but did not do anything about the condition.

Attorney Samantha Kucher also says that proving the negligence of a property owner can be complicated, especially in matters of premises liability. Some insurance companies are often reluctant to pay these claims if they are any questions about negligence. This situation can make it more difficult for the victim to pay their bills and receive compensation for their injuries.

According to the injury attorney, “In many cases in slip and fall claims, it is difficult to establish if the property owner was aware of the hazard, would have reasonably known about it, or had ample time to correct it. For instance, in accidents involving a spill or icy walkway, establishing negligence can be difficult. This is why having the skill of a slip and fall attorney can be essential to your claim.”

Lastly, attorney Samantha Kucher emphasizes the importance of having a skilled slip and fall accident lawyer when someone has been the victim of an accident caused by someone’s negligence. Having an experienced lawyer may be able to help the victim seek compensation and receive what they deserve for their injuries.

One-stop shop for PH products gets designer-led update

One-stop shop for PH products gets designer-led update

Filipino craftsmanship and creativity was on full display at the launch on Thursday of Kultura Atelier at SM Makati. The one-stop shop of the country’s largest department store chain is known for its wide range of Philippine-made products ranging from comestibles to clothes.  It is also a favorite shopping destination of returning Filipinos who want to take a piece of home back to their country of work. Many tourists also make a beeline to Kultura for souvenirs of their time in the tropics.  With the opening of Kultura Atelier, shoppers now have more options when an event calls for elevated Filipiniana. At the mini fashion show to mark the launch last week, the designers who were tapped to join Kultura’s roster presented pieces from their collection now available in store.  Daryl Maat showed updates to his playful redesign of the short-sleeved barong. Instead of traditional scrollwork or geometric designs, Maat’s features kid-style line drawings stitched in colored embroidery thread. Former professional model Alvin Degamo of Wear Your Culture was wearing one of his own pieces that afternoon, a denim jacket with fabric insets featuring embroidery inspired by the Manobos of Mindanao. He said his pieces are limited because it takes time for the weavers to finish a panel and send it to him.  Degamo then sends the panel to Lumban, Laguna to be embroidered by sewers he has long worked with. “I want to give the pieces from Wear Your Culture something more. Rather than use a woven panel as is, I have it embroidered or hand painted so the finished product stands out from others like it,” Degamo said.  Veteran Cebu-based designer Phillip Rodriguez has also thrown his hat into the retail shopping ring with Isla by Filippo. His elegant pieces shown that afternoon included a red terno ensemble with fabric that featured a solihya-like pattern.  Rodriguez also presented two black barong Tagalog that looked sleek and had a slimming effect.  Other brands and designers that are now part of Kultura Atelier include Fam Ph, Goodluck Humans, Harold and Harry, Jo-Rel Espina, Ken Samudio, Martin Uy, Rodolfo by Puey Quinones, Sari Lazaro, Tim Tam Ong and Zarah Juan. The festivities that afternoon extended beyond the runway with a perfume bar by Tadhana Fragrance, and jewelry customization by Nazrea Pearls. Kultura Atelier and Kultura at SM Makati still share the same space but the former  consists mainly of designer apparel and fashion accessories while the latter carries home decor and food items. In praise of the coconut There are dozens of food and decorative items for sale this weekend at the Department of Trade and Industry’s (DTI) National Trade Fair. This time the coconut is in the spotlight with a wide range of food items ranging from coconut leaf-wrapped suman and extra virgin coconut oil to beaded hanging lamps and Christmas decor made of the tree’s different elements.  As the second coconut-focused trade fair this year, the initiative highlights the versatility of the Philippine coconut industry through innovative products in food, wellness, beauty, textiles, home essentials and handicrafts. The fair is open free to the public until Sunday and is a good place to jumpstart Christmas shopping.  Beyond showcasing local ingenuity, however, the fair opens doors for MSMEs and coconut farmer-beneficiaries to connect with institutional buyers, retailers and consumers, expanding their market reach and business opportunities.
