Our lawyers have the experience, resources and persistence to investigate and thoroughly prepare cases involving all types of personal injury and wrongful death matters, including:

• Car accidents: Early investigation often reveals other areas of negligence or liability which may support your case, such as truck driver negligence which caused a truck accident. Our auto accident attorneys thoroughly investigate all types of motor vehicle accidents, from car and truck accidents to motorcycle accidents and pedestrian accidents.
• Construction accidents: Unsafe working conditions and faulty equipment are major causes of building project injuries, such as severe burns or eye injuries.
• Catastrophic injuries: Life-changing injuries such as a brain injury, spinal cord injury or other serious injury require expert testimony about future costs of medical care and income replacement.
• Medical malpractice claims: Proving malpractice or negligence by doctors and health care providers require expert testimony, thorough research and technical presentation.
• Unsafe premises: Property owners may be responsible for your bills and lost income from a slip and fall, dog bite or assault (inadequate security) due to accidents which result from an unsafe premise.
• Defective products: From workplace machinery to tools and safety gear, manufacturers may be liable for products that cause injury.
• Nursing home negligence: When a nursing home resident is injured or dies as a result of negligence or abuse, the nursing home facility, doctors, nurses or other staff may be held accountable.
• Birth injuries: Cases involving birth trauma, such as cerebral palsy or shoulder dystocia (erb's palsy), require sensitivity, thorough investigation and analysis of future life care needs to ensure maximum recovery is obtained.
• Popcorn lung disease: Workers in microwave popcorn plants may be subjected to the vapors of the butter flavoring used in microwave popcorn. Individuals who suffer from lung problems as a result (often called popcorn lung disease) may have a claim for recovery.
• Wrongful death: A fatal car accident, an on-the-job death or a patient who dies from negligent care may be grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit.
• Workers’ Compensation: An employer is responsible for medical expenses, lost wages and disability compensation relating to a workplace injury. Our work injury attorneys represent clients in initial applications, hearings and on appeal.
