As a leading retail services provider, lodging properties and restaurants are consistently the target of third party injury lawsuits of every conceivable type. From workers' compensation-related suits to slip and fall, elevator and escalator accidents, food poisoning, Dram Shop/liquor liability and construction accidents, the hospitality industry is at risk each and every day. Add to this threat that New York and New Jersey attract more tourists and business travelers than virtually any other region, and the exposure for incidence increases dramatically.

At Smith Mazure, we realize that providing a solid defense for our hospitality clientele goes over and above possessing knowledge of traditional liability, construction, property, and accident law. It also requires intimate expertise in defending hospitality providers operating in New York and New Jersey, many of which are franchise operators. This expertise is achieved only through years of defense experience and first-hand knowledge of local laws and sensitivities.

Our Attorney's have provided counsel for the hospitality industry in New York and New Jersey in all forms and at levels. Always working in the best interest of our client, whether recommending out-of-court settlement for cases meriting expedient closure or crafting a solid defense for cases destined for Court decision, we have the proven experience to best service this industry segment.
