We are "different".

Our office does not rely on a high volume of cases generated by massive television and Yellow Pages advertising. We don't claim to handle every type of case under the sun, nor do we represent every injured person who comes to see us. We don't need to and we don't want to. Doing so would require us to compromise our values, and would cause us to compromise our belief that in order to effectively handle cases, the number of cases each attorney handles must be kept small.

We believe that when it comes to having your injury case handled by a law firm, smaller is better. And we believe that when it comes to going head-to-head with the big box firms, we out perform them. You can read here about one recent appellate court decision that agrees with us.

Further, we believe that not everyone who is injured by the wrong of another should bring a lawsuit against the responsible party. If you have received a minor injury, get better, get over it, and get on with your life. However, if you have received a real, significant injury you need help now. Evidence must be secured and witnesses interviewed. Not tomorrow, not the next day, today. In order to get help as quickly and effectively as possible you need a law firm with a proven track record of experience that can stack up against any law firm in western New York and the southern tier, a local lawyer; an attorney who not only knows how to win your case, but one who knows where you live and the problems you face.

If you have been injured in western or central New York, including the Southern tier region, the Law Offices of Scott D. Cannon is prepared and fully qualified to fight for your rights and get you all of the compensation you are entitled to. Located in Geneseo in Livingston County, the Cannon Law firm has the skill and trial experience needed to get you the compensation you deserve. Our lawyers have secured trial verdicts and settlements of one million dollars or more in over 60 cases. We are comfortable comparing our results against any law firm in western or central New York. We know your struggles , and we have helped many local families put their lives back together after a traumatic accident.

We would be honored to help you with the following types of cases:

Car, Truck and Motorcycle Accidents

If you have received real and significant injuries as a result of an auto, truck or motorcycle accident in Western New York or the Southern Tier, there are several things you must do immediately to protect yourself and to preserve your right to bring a claim against the responsible party. There are critical time deadlines that you must comply with, some as short as thirty days from the date of the accident. Further, many times it is critical to collect evidence from the accident scene immediately, and to take sworn statements from witnesses as soon as possible.

Construction Accidents

If you have been injured or have an illness related to construction work you may have the right to compensation. At Cannon Law we have many years of experience fighting for the rights of New York construction workers.

Product Liability

When shopping we assume that the manufacturer has produced a safe and effective product. We buy them in good faith, yet many dangerous products injure and kill thousands of people each year. If you live in western New York or the Southern Tier and have been injured by a defective product, call an attorney with a track record of proven experience in products liability.
