Motor Vehicle Liability
People rely on their vehicles everyday, so automobile manufacturers
have a tremendous responsibility to provide for the safety
of the people who use their products. Design defects or the
use of substandard parts may increase the likelihood of an
injury accident for which the manufacturer is legally liable.
For instance, a manufacturer may be liable for a problem in
the design of an SUV that makes it more likely to rollover
during a crash, for faulty wiring that causes a car to ignite
after an accident, or for a malfunctioning steering column
that makes a collision more likely. If you think you may have
a motor vehicle liability case, please contact us today.
Auto Accidents
Driving is as much as part of our lives as eating and sleeping.
With so much time on the road, accidents seem inevitable.
But while some crashes prove minor, many more result in serious
injuries or fatalities. In many cases, motor vehicle accidents
are the result of driver distraction or recklessness. From
cell phones to speeding to substance abuse, certain behaviors
put people at risk. If you have been injured in an automobile
or truck accident, we can help. Please contact our firm today.
Premises Liability
Slips and falls can be scary and can lead to serious injuries
in some cases. People who slip and fall on another person's
property due to unsafe conditions may be eligible for compensation.
Property owners are responsible for keeping their premises
safe and for warning visitors of any potential hazards. For
example, if a supermarket owner mops the floor and doesn't
mark the area to warn consumers, he or she may be legally
liable for a slip and fall injury occurring in that location.
Similarly, a homeowner who fails to warn guests of a broken
step may be liable for his guests' injuries. If you think
you may have a premises liability case for us, please contact
our firm today.
Medical Malpractice
Medical professionals are meant to provide care and healing,
but in cases of medical malpractice the opposite occurs. When
a doctor makes an incorrect diagnosis, fails to treat a patient's
condition promptly, issues a wrong prescription, or neglects
to administer appropriate care, the patient may suffer serious
injury. The victim and his or her family may be overwhelmed
with medical bills and other costs. In cases of permanent
disability, the victim may never be able to work again. In
addition, victims and their families often endure lasting
emotional pain and suffering. If your or a family member has
been the victim of medical malpractice, our firm can help
you receive the compensation you need. Please contact us today.
Nursing Home Abuse
If you or your parents or grandparents are in a nursing home,
it's probably because you associate such facilities with care
and attentiveness. That's why nursing home negligence is such
a serious problem. Many of the patients who reside in nursing
homes are unable to communicate instances of abuse or neglect
because of physical or mental disabilities or simply because
they have no one to tell. Nursing home negligence can be very
serious, causing significant health problems and even death
among victims. Examples of nursing home negligence include:
failing to provide adequate food or water, failing to provide
appropriate hygienic care, overmedicating patients, using
physical restraints unnecessarily, and physically or sexually
abusing residents. If you believe that you or a loved one
has been the victim of nursing home negligence, it's important
that you seek help both for your own situation and for the
other residents.
Construction Accidents
Construction sites pose many dangers to workers and others in
the area. Workers often must lift heavy objects, operate large
machinery, and perform job duties at elevated heights. Still,
proper protocol and safety practices can decrease a worker
or passerby's risk of being injured. When someone causes a
preventable construction accident through negligence, her
or she may be liable for the victim's injuries. For example,
a supervisor at a construction site is responsible for enforcing
safely measures. Employers of construction workers must properly
train their employees. Companies that manufacture construction
equipment are liable if their products prove to be defective.
If you have been injured in a construction accident, you may
be eligible for compensation. Please contact us today.
Electrical Accidents
Electrical accidents have the potential to cause serious injury
or death to victims. Power lines pose a significant danger
if they are too close to the ground, are not properly insulated,
or are not properly maintained. Faulty electrical wiring in
homes, schools, hospitals, or other buildings may also lead
to electrical injuries. If an electrical accident occurs because
of negligence on the part of a power or utility company, a
home or workplace contractor, or a product manufacturer, the
victim and his or her family may be able to receive compensation
under the law. Please contact us today.
Substantial Property Damage
Property damage can be one of the most devastating losses a
person or company can suffer. Whether a building is lost to
fire, a car ruined by vandalism, or a cornfield destroyed
by insects, substantial property loss can seriously impair
a person's ability to live, work, and survive financially.
Substantial property damage is sometimes the fault of another
person or group. In such circumstances, the victim may be
eligible for compensation. Please contact us to learn more.
