If You've Been Hurt, We Can Help

We handle a wide variety of personal injury claims, including those resulting from:

Motor Vehicle Accidents: We can help you untangle the web of complicated insurance forms, medical bills, accident reports and other paperwork following any motor vehicle accident. We fight for to obtain fair and just compensation for personal injury or wrongful death caused by:

• Car Accidents: Whether you were hurt, or a family member was killed, in a rear-end collision, a head-on crash, an SUV rollover, or other traffic accident, our lawyers have the knowledge and skill to protect your rights and interests.
• Trucking Accidents: Truck accidents involve more severe injuries and are more complicated than standard car accidents. There are oftentimes additional parties involved, like the owner of the trucking company and multiple insurance companies. Our lawyers know how to investigate semi truck accidents like jackknifes and other 18-wheeler accidents caused by overloaded trailers, speeding, faulty brakes, inadequate maintenance, truck driver fatigue, substance abuse and inadequately trained drivers.
• Drunk Driving Accidents: We hold drivers responsible for the devastation they cause when they drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Our attorneys also bring lawsuits against bars and restaurants that illegally sold liquor to intoxicated or underage customers.
• Accidents with Uninsured Drivers: If a driver without liability insurance hurts you, or your damages exceeded the amount of the at-fault driver's insurance policy, you still have options. We can file claims with your own insurance company under your personal uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage.
• Pedestrian and Hit-and-Run accidents: Our lawyers provide skilled and caring representation to pedestrians, joggers and bicyclists who were hurt when run over or hit by a car. We also help the families of people who were killed in one of these tragic accidents.

Medical Malpractice: Surgical accidents, misdiagnosis and medication errors account for far too many injuries. We hold negligent doctors, medical professionals and health care facilities accountable for medical negligence. Common medical malpractice cases we see involve:

• Birth Injuries: Often the full extent of damage from a birth injury is not apparent until the child has aged. Birth injuries can be severe, and they can affect a child forever. Our malpractice lawyers seek answers and compensation when a birth injury (such as Erb's Palsy, Cerebral palsy or shoulder dystocia) is caused by a medical mistake, such as inadequate fetal monitoring, failure to perform a C-section or other malpractice during pregnancy, labor or delivery.
• Nursing Home Injuries: Do you know someone who has been injured or neglected in a nursing home? We can help recover compensation for bedsores, malnutrition, exposure, hypothermia and other harm caused by nursing home abuse or neglect.

Worksite Accidents: If you have been injured in an accident at work, such as one on a construction site, you may be entitled to damages for your pain and suffering in addition to benefits under workers' compensation. Our attorneys explore all possible work injury claims, including claims against negligent third parties.

Premises Liability: Slip and fall accidents, dog bites, food poisoning, drowning and other accidents in the home or on someone else's property may be covered under the homeowner's insurance or a business's general liability policy. We handle a variety of premises accident claims, including:

• Slip and fall accidents: We represent clients who have sustained serious injuries after falling on icy or wet walkways, cracked sidewalks, loose steps, defective stairwells and other dangerous premises.
• Animal Attacks and Dog Bites: Claims involving dog bites, animal attacks and accidents caused by unrestrained animals can be complex - we can help you recover full compensation.
• Inadequate Security: Property owners and managers are responsible for taking reasonable measures to prevent assaults and attacks on their premises.
• Pool and Boating Accidents: Manufacturers, owners and operators may be responsible for injuries resulting from water sports accidents.

Dangerous Products: Manufacturers, distributors and sellers may held be responsible for injuries caused by dangerous or defective products.

Wrongful Death: If a loved one has been killed by the negligence or recklessness of someone else, you may be able to collect monetary damages for lost income, loss of companionship and support, medical and funeral expenses and other costs.

Our lawyers also handle claims for civil rights violations and professional malpractice, including:

• Wrongful Detainment/False Imprisonment: Were you were restrained, arrested, detained or imprisoned without good reason? Were you abused while in the custody of police, store personnel or others?
• Employment Discrimination: To fully protect yourself from retaliatory conduct and ensure that your rights are respected, contact an attorney before submitting a complaint for discrimination or harassment.
• Legal Malpractice and Professional Misconduct: Whether you were harmed as the result of your lawyer's failure to file appropriate paperwork or because your accountant made an error, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses.
