Hollander & Gould, LLP caters to the needs of our individual client’s by
representation in the following areas:
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Arbitration, mediation, and other Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods are
the clear choice when businesses are faced with a conflict, especially compared to
litigation. ADR has several benefits. ADR is economical and fast compared to
litigation, saving you time and money. ADR negotiated settlements consistently
deliver fair, and predictable results which the participants can live with. ADR often
preserves vendor, consumer, and employee relations which most often suffer or are
destroyed by costly, time consuming, and destructive lawsuits.
Disputes of all types can be resolved through ADR including disputes involving
contracts, intellectual property, financial transactions, employee/employer
agreements; torts; real property disputes; and numerous situations where a business
is forced to assert or defend a claim. Since every business relationship has the
potential for conflict, the best time to choose ADR is before a dispute arises.
Hollander & Gould, LLP can advise you on how to incorporate pre-dispute
mediation and arbitration clauses into your contracts, agreements, and relationships.
Smart businesses plan ahead to have disputes resolved fairly, affordably, and
quickly. Let us show you how your company can benefit from the affordable and
accessible ADR process.

SLIP AND FALL CASES
Each year, thousands of people become injured because property owners either fail
to keep their premises in a safe condition, or fail to warn the public that an unsafe
condition exists. The majority of these injuries occur when a person suddenly slips
and falls while they are shopping, dining, or conducting business on the premises or
property that is owned and/ or controlled by another party, who has not provided a
safe environment for customers and guests. Although most people consider these to
be the most straight forward of injury claims the exact opposite is the case. The
attorneys at Hollander and Gould, LLP understand the issues unique to a premises
liability claim and put that knowledge to work for you.
DOG BITE CLAIMS
Dog attacks can represent some of the most gruesome personal injuries that an
individual can suffer. Statistics show that every year there is an increase of injuries
to persons, resulting from a bite from an aggressive dog. Unfortunately, the majority
of dog bite victims are children. The attorneys at Hollander &Gould, LLP are
experienced in presenting the issues unique to a dog bit injury claim and in particular
the long term psychological components to these claims.
PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS
Have you been injured by a defective or dangerous product? Often, products are
manufactured and marketed before anyone knows the dangers inherent in the design
or use of the product. Products can be considered defectively designed even where
the instructions or packaging fails to adequately address safety issues or risks not
apparent to the reasonable person. If you have been injured by a dangerous or
defective product, contact us today.
AUTO ACCIDENTS
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration and the National Center for Statistics and Analysis, motor
vehicle traffic crashes rank as the 8th leading overall cause of death in the United
States. In individuals ages 4 through 33, motor vehicle accidents are the leading
cause of death. If you were injured in a car crash, motorcycle accident, or Truck
collision, please us and let us help you obtain full and fair compensation for all of
your losses as well as for your pain and suffering. Don’t trust the insurance carrier
to look out for your interests. At Hollander & Gould, LLP we know how adjusters
will argue against your claim, seeking to minimize and trivialize your damages. We
know how to maximize your recovery. We know how to document and present your
claim and know what insurance carriers look for to deny a claim. It is their job to pay
as little as possible. It’s our job to get you as much as possible. Let us help you
today before the insurance adjuster draws a line in the sand.
