TYPES OF PERSONAL INJURY CASES
CAR ACCIDENTS
Car accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injury. We assist clients who have been injured in car accidents caused by negligent drivers, including cases involving drunk driving, distracted driving, speeding, or reckless behavior.
SLIP AND FALLS
Slip and fall accidents can occur on various premises, such as slippery floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly maintained properties. We help individuals who have sustained injuries in slip and fall accidents due to hazardous conditions caused by property owner negligence.
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Medical malpractice cases involve instances where healthcare professionals fail to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. We handle medical malpractice claims related to surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication errors, birth injuries, and other medical negligence matters.
PRODUCT LIABILITY
If you have been injured due to a defective product, whether it's a faulty vehicle component, a defective consumer product, or a dangerous prescription drug, we can help you pursue a product liability claim against the responsible parties.
WORKPLACE INJURIES
If you have been injured on the job, you may be entitled to compensation beyond workers' compensation benefits. We handle cases involving workplace accidents caused by third-party negligence, defective equipment, unsafe working conditions, or employer misconduct.
WRONGFUL DEATH
When a loved one's death is caused by someone else's negligence, surviving family members may be eligible to seek compensation through a wrongful death claim. We offer compassionate support and legal guidance to those who have lost a loved one due to another party's wrongful actions.
PREMISE LIABILITY
Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of property owners or occupiers to ensure a safe environment for those who enter their premises. If you have been injured on someone else's property due to hazardous conditions or negligent maintenance, you may have a premises liability claim.
catastrophic
Catastrophic injuries, such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, severe burn injuries, or amputations, can have lifelong consequences. Our firm is dedicated to helping individuals and their families navigate the complex legal process and secure the compensation needed for medical care, rehabilitation, and ongoing support.
what to do if you get injured
Suffering an injury can be a traumatic experience, but it's crucial to take certain steps to protect your well-being and preserve your legal rights. If you have been injured due to someone else's negligence, here are important actions to consider:
Seek Medical Attention: Your health and well-being should be your top priority. Seek immediate medical attention for your injuries, even if they initially seem minor. Prompt medical care not only ensures your well-being but also creates a medical record documenting your injuries, which can be important for your personal injury claim.
Report the Incident: If your injury occurs on someone else's property, notify the property owner, manager, or supervisor about the incident. If it's a workplace injury, report it to your employer following their designated protocols. Request a copy of the incident report for your records.
Document the Scene: If possible, gather evidence at the scene of the accident. Take photographs or videos of the hazardous condition that caused your injury, any visible injuries you sustained, and the surrounding area. Also, collect contact information from any witnesses who saw the incident occur.
Preserve Evidence: Preserve any physical evidence related to the incident, such as torn clothing, defective products, or damaged equipment. These items may serve as crucial evidence to establish liability and support your personal injury claim.
Avoid Making Statements: Refrain from making any statements regarding fault or liability, especially to insurance adjusters or representatives of the responsible party. Stick to providing essential factual information, but avoid admitting fault or speculating about the cause of the accident.
Consult with an Attorney: Contact an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. A knowledgeable attorney will evaluate your case, help protect your rights, and guide you through the legal process. They will advocate for your best interests, handle communication with insurance companies, and work to maximize the compensation you deserve.
Do Not Accept Early Settlement Offers: Insurance companies may try to offer a quick settlement soon after the incident. Be cautious of accepting such offers without consulting an attorney. Early settlements may not fully account for the long-term impact of your injuries and related expenses.
