Jonathan Cooper, the Long Island & Queens, New York-based author of the Free book on New York accident claims, "Why Most Accident Victims Do Not Recover the Full Value of Their Claim," and the New Yorker's guide to defective product claims, "Why Are There So Few Successful Defective Products Lawsuits?" gets asked many questions in the areas of school negligence (and/or negligent supervision), construction accidents, car accidents, defective or dangerous products and slip and/or trip and fall accidents.
After a while, Mr. Cooper decided to reduce these questions, and his answers, to writing, as part of his ongoing effort to educate the general public about these areas of the law.
