Brooklyn Home & Car Damage Attorney
Compensation for property damage due to the negligence of a business, contractor, car driver or municipality can be difficult to recover if an insurer disputes the liability of its policyholder. Unfortunately, the cost of repairing one's home, business, or car can be substantial. At the Law Offices of Daniel A. Kalish, we work with accident investigators, safety experts, engineers, surveyors and other professionals in identifying building code violations, road defects, faulty wiring and other factors that cause property damage to our clients. In cases involving fires, our office consults fire and materials experts to determine if steps could have been taken to prevent a fire from spreading. Since sprinkler systems, smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are not always installed or functioning, apartment owners can be held liable for violating a duty of care to protect tenants from foreseeable dangers.
If your home, car, personal property, or business has been damaged due to the negligence of someone else, contact property damage lawyer Daniel A. Kalish today to schedule a free consultation to discuss your case.
Recovering Compensation for Property Damage
Personal injury attorney Daniel A. Kalish recovers damages for people who have suffered property damage due:
- Apartment fires

Battling with Your Own Insurer
In some cases, the amount of compensation paid by a negligent party may not cover your actual losses. In these kinds of cases, it may be necessary to file a claim under the uninsured / underinsured terms of your own policy. Mr. Kalish evaluates your policy, the nature of your losses, and determines whether or not you can file a claim for the remainder of your losses. If your insurer balks or refuses to pay, our office is prepared to take your insurer to court and file a bad faith insurance claim in appropriate cases.
