Personal Injury Cases
“Personal injury” means that you have been injured as a result of another party’s negligence or carelessness. Personal injury claims can arise due to many issues involving individuals, businesses, or manufacturers. My firm will provide you with excellent, experienced legal representation to help you get the compensation you deserve.
Types of Cases Handled
Motor Vehicle Accidents - auto, bus, truck, bike, motorcycle.
Motor vehicle accidents involving automobiles, large trucks, motorcycles, buses or even bicycles, are the most common type of personal injury cases, and can result in serious injury, disfigurement or death. If you were injured in a motor vehicle accident, you may be the victim of another driver’s negligence, of negligence in the maintenance of state roads, or of a defective car part. Your legal rights will vary depending on who is at fault.
Defective Products - workplace machines, automobiles, appliances, electronic devices, drugs.
“Product liability” cases are the result of an injury caused by such varied products as tires, tools and even medications. Serious injuries are often the result when manufacturers fail to provide sufficient warnings or instructions for product use, or when products are unsafe due to faulty design or manufacture.
Nursing Home Abuse - negligent care, inadequate staffing, neglect.
Serious injury or death can result from insufficient staffing, inadequately trained staff, or neglect of duties by nursing home personnel. More people have moved into assisted living facilities as the United States population ages. As a result, nursing home claims are becoming more common.
LASIK Eye Surgery Claims - blindness, poor vision or other visual problems.
Laser In-situ Keratomileusis, or LASIK surgery, is offered to improve your vision. Unfortunately, mistakes by the surgeon or medical team can result in blindness or significant, permanent visual impairment. These errors can negatively impact your quality of life. As LASIK surgery becomes more common, so too do the number of LASIK negligence claims. These cases require thorough investigation and careful preparation.
Premises Accidents - slippery floors, worn carpeting, falling objects, broken staircases, elevator & escalator accidents.
Business owners are responsible for providing and maintaining safe conditions for their patrons. A premise liability case is brought against a business for a minor or serious and life-altering injury that occurred in the actual business, such as a retail store, or in the parking lot or construction area. The type of property where you were injured, and whether it is private or open to the public, will determine your legal rights.
Food Contamination Claims - e-Coli 0517, salmonella, listeria.
Food that has been improperly prepared or negligently processed can result in unhealthy bacteria levels. When these foods are consumed, serious illnesses and health problems can result in unsuspecting consumers. Food contamination claims will continue to grow as food production levels increase to support our growing population.
Catastrophic Injuries - spinal cord, traumatic brain injury, amputation or significant burns.
Victims of catastrophic injury often require long-term medical care, resulting in devastating financial and emotional losses to them and to their family. It is critical that catastrophic injury claims are carefully researched, investigated and thoroughly prepared to ensure that the victims are fairly represented and fully compensated. Family members struggling to cope with the tragic life-style changes will receive referrals to the appropriate specialists and support groups.
Other Claims Handled
Injuries can result when you are least expecting them. If you have suffered an injury from the result of a dog bite, boating accident, plane crash, medical malpractice, resort or hotel accident, defective sidewalk, or any other personal injury that requires medical attention or impacts your lifestyle, contact my firm to handle your case.
