Firm Information
Overview
Sudden injuries do more than just interrupt daily routines; they can place long-term strain on a person’s health, finances and sense of security. The Barnes Firm, located at 500 Pearl Street in Buffalo, New York, works with individuals who are facing those challenges after accidents caused by someone’s negligence. Our focus is on taking the legal pressure off our clients while pursuing accountability through the civil justice system.
Steve Barnes founded our firm with a single focus: personal injury law. We represent clients in a variety of personal injury cases, including car accidents, truck collisions, bus crashes, bicycle accidents and pedestrian injuries. Additionally, we take on construction accidents, workplace injuries, slip-and-fall accidents, dog bite incidents, medical injuries and train accidents.
Insurance companies often attempt to resolve claims quickly and on terms that favor their profit. We respond with preparation and persistence, presenting well-documented claims and being ready to go to trial when necessary. Throughout the process, we maintain open communication and provide steady support.
Our work begins with a detailed review of the facts. We examine how the accident occurred, identify responsible parties and evaluate both immediate and future damages. We also take time to understand how an injury has affected a client’s ability to work, maintain a day-to-day life and plan for the future. Clear explanations and realistic guidance are key to our approach.
At The Barnes Firm, we proudly represent injury victims throughout the surrounding region. We remain committed to helping our clients pursue the compensation they deserve and regain stability after serious accidents.
