Auto/Truck Accidents and Personal Injury
Many auto accident victims never receive the full amount of damages to which they may be entitled including pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost wages, medical expenses and property damage and disfigurement.

Recovering from a serious car accident can be a long and painful process. I am dedicated to helping people obtain compensation arising out of such incidents

Obtaining reasonable compensation is not easy. Every situation is unique. When necessary we engage experts in medical specialties, reconstruction engineers and other experts to build a strong and effective case.

While the vast majority of personal injury claims settle prior to trial, my firm prepares every case as though it were going to be presented to a jury. Effective trial preparations can lead to larger settlements in personal injury cases, while avoiding the uncertainty and stress of a trial. There is no fee unless I obtain a settlement.

Medical Malpractice/Wrongful Death
Medical malpractice can occur in any environment where a doctor, nurse or other healthcare provider renders treatment to a patient. It can occur in a doctor’s private office or in the operating room or hospital. Some examples of cases involving medical negligence include:

Surgical Negligence – Such as the negligent performance of a surgical procedure, the use of improper medical equipment, negligent failure to respond to certain signs and symptoms during surgery, or leaving an instrument or foreign body inside of a patient following surgery.

Birth Injuries –Which may arise when there has been negligent medical or nursing care before, during or immediately following birth, such as the negligent failure to perform a caesarian section delivery. Birth trauma resulting from medical negligence can cause death and catastrophic injuries, including cerebral palsy, shoulder dystocia, brain damage, developmental impairments and neurological injury.

Failure to Diagnose or Treat Medical Conditions – Such as the negligent failure to diagnose or properly treat cancer, the negligent failure to diagnose or properly treat an early stage heart attack, the negligent failure to diagnose or properly treat an aneurysm, or the negligent failure to diagnose or properly treat any disease or condition affecting the body’s organs and normal function.

Medication Errors – such as prescription of unsafe medication, the prescription of medication that should not be taken with one or more other medications a patient is taking, or the prescription of medication that should not be taken when a patient has certain medical conditions such as high blood pressure or liver problems.

A civil lawsuit may be filed by families on behalf of the deceased to recover damages for pain and suffering, lost earning capacity, mental anguish, loss of companionship, medical costs and other expenses when a wrongful death results from the negligence, recklessness, inaction or malpractice of another party. 

Dog Bites/Animal Attacks
If you or a family member has suffered an injury in an animal attack, you deserve compensation for your losses and emotional suffering. Bites from dogs or other animals, can result in serious injury, including lacerations, scarring and sometimes even death.

If you have suffered a dog/animal bite, it is wise to consult an attorney who understands this area of law. I can help you receive just compensation for:

• Medical bills

• Future medical care expenses

• Scarring and Disfigurement

• Recovery of loss of earnings

• Medical attention for all injuries

•   Pain and suffering

Slips, Trips and Falls
When a slip and fall accident was caused by a defective design or poor maintenance, the person or organization that caused the dangerous conditions that led to the fall can be held accountable for injuries.

Premises liability law involves the legal responsibility of owners and occupiers of property for injuries suffered by persons on the property. The actual liability of the responsible individuals varies depending on the rules and principles adopted in the jurisdiction where the mishap occurred. An experienced premise liability lawyer can determine whether liability may exist in a particular case and help an injured person recover damages for lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering.

Some of the most common causes of such injuries in trip, or slip and fall cases are:

• Negligent maintenance can cause a slippery surface or a broken stair rail.

• Loose or uneven stair tread

• A piece of debris or spilled liquid on the floor

• A defective design, such as a ramp with a sharp, unmarked drop or uneven stairs or walkways

• Failing to plow snow and/or salt property

Third Parties and Workers' Compensation Law 
If you as an employee are injured on the job due to a defective piece of equipment, you as an employee who accepted workers’ compensation cannot sue the company, but could file a claim against a negligent third party, such as a manufacturer of equipment, a premisis owner other than the employer or a motor vehicle operator.

Product Liability
If Manufacturers of a product fail to live up to their responsibility to produce a safe product, they may be liable. Design defects or lack of proper saftey features can result in catastrophic and devastating consequeces for the user of the product. The manufacturer of a product has the responsibilitly to design and produce a safe product. When they fail to do so, victims who suffer injury may have the right to seek compensation.

Product liability cases often hinge on highly technical investigations of the cause of the failure. Expert witnesses are engaged to review and evaluate the products involved I seek out the top experts in their respective fields that can identify the cause of the product failure, provide a factual analysis and can if necessary provide compelling testimony in court.

Legal Malpractice
Legal malpractice results when an attorney fails to act with appropriate skill or diligence in the performance of their duties, resulting in legal harm to their clients.

It is important to note that simply losing a case does not necessarily constitute legal malpractice. You must be able to prove negligence or willful disregard for accepted practice in order to collect damages.

Nursing Home Negligence
Sometimes nursing home companies put profits over resident need. As a result nursing homes hire insufficient numbers of employees with inadequate qualifications, experience and training. The consequences may result in neglect or abuse of a loved one in nursing home facilities. Examples of this include: 

• Bed Sores

• Infections

• Malnutrition

• Dehydration

• Failure to medicate

• Failure to monitor

• Assault
