At Black, Lyle & Habberfield, LLP, in Olean, New York, we stand up for the rights of people who have suffered severe and life-changing injuries. Our clients are people who have suffered due to the careless and negligent actions of other people, businesses and organizations. If you have been treated unfairly and suffered an injury as a result, we are here to make sure you are treated fairly in the legal system. We have the skill, experience and resources to make a difference. Our focus is to deter unsafe conduct and the most effective way to do that is to hold someone accountable who has chosen to put their interests ahead of society's. Most people are good and do the right thing but, some chose to take shortcuts, to be careless and then not take responsibility when they hurt someone. Our job is to hold them accountable and by doing so, we may be able to prevent them from hurting someone else down the road.We limit our practice to handling personal injury cases in New York and Pennsylvania. Our attorneys and staff have all been uniquely trained in these types of cases to provide you with the best results possible.
