AREAS OF PRACTICE

PERSONAL INJURY

If you were injured through the carelessness of others, you may be entitled to monetary compensation for your losses and suffering. [LEARN MORE]

CAR ACCIDENTS

A motor vehicle accident causes pain and turmoil, from the injuries and the rehab process to your wrecked vehicle and disrupted employment. The more serious the injuries, the more important it is to have effective legal counsel. [LEARN MORE]

PREMISES LIABILITY

Slip-and-fall accidents can cause significant injury. But many victims are embarrassed or do not realize until later how badly they were hurt. Many people do not know their rights or assume it was their own fault. [LEARN MORE]

WORK LIABILITY

If you were injured on the job, your employer is obligated to provide medical care, lost wages and other benefits. Beyond the employer’s liability, there could be additional claims against third parties if they contributed to your injuries. [LEARN MORE]

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

We trust doctors and nurses with our health and our lives. When medical professionals break that trust, it can have tragic results. Not every bad outcome or error constitutes medical malpractice. The question is whether there is lasting harm and whether medical staff failed in their obligations to the patient by deviating from the standards of the profession. [LEARN MORE]

WRONGFUL DEATH

Losing a family member is always hard, but it can be unbearable to know that an accidental death was easily preventable. A wrongful death action holds the negligent party accountable for the economic impact and the emotional void. [LEARN MORE]

INSURANCE COVERAGE LITIGATION
