PRACTICE AREAS
Personal injury law was enacted to give certain rights to those harmed through negligence or deliberate misconduct. Our personal injury lawyers are well-versed in these laws and the precedents and judicial decisions that have stemmed from them. Not only do they know the law, they know the best methods for making negligent parties accountable to those they injure. Through thorough preparation of your personal injury claim, tough negotiation skills at the settlement table, or aggressive courtroom litigation, these legal professionals do what it takes to get the job done for you.
A competent personal injury attorney will focus intently and persistently on getting you the compensation you deserve to recover your health and well-being. In an injury case, your long-term medical care and other losses should be met. In a wrongful death case, financial losses and emotional suffering should be fairly compensated. Compensation for catastrophic injuries is especially crucial, as these expenses may be extensive. Catastrophic injuries include:
Head injuries or traumatic brain injuries
Severe burns
Spinal cord damage, paralysis, paraplegia, quadriplegia
Loss of limbs, organs, or other body parts
When you have been injured because of another’s actions or inaction, you should not be responsible for the financial jeopardy that can follow. This is the crux of personal injury cases and what your attorney will fight for on your behalf with determination. More on this website
Accidents and Incidents Leading to Personal Injury Claims
Accidents caused by a negligent party occur every day. Injury claims can follow:

Motorcycle accidents
Truck accidents
Fatal traffic accidents
Other types of wrongful death
Bicycle accidents
Construction accidents
Slip-and-fall incidents on both public and private premises
Criminal attacks due to negligent security

Injuries sustained on hazardous properties
Car Accidents
Car accidents are the leading cause of personal injury claims. Claims may stem from negligent, careless, or reckless drivers as well as from negligent vehicle and auto parts manufacturers or governmental agencies in charge of road design and maintenance. Fair compensation will often boil down to a battle with the insurance company. If you’ve been injured in a car accident, you’ll want a legal professional representing you for optimal results.
Medical Malpractice
When you’ve suffered harm due to medical error or negligence, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice claim against the doctor, nurse, surgeon, dentist, hospital, or other health care provider. These cases are highly technical legal matters in which it must be proven that the health care practitioner deviated from accepted standards of care. That means you will need an attorney skilled in this field who can build your case and follow through with all legal action required.
Construction Accidents
The construction industry has one of the highest rates of worker injury. These accidents can involve falls from scaffolding and ladders, faulty equipment, heavy vehicles, moving equipment, electrocutions, and more. Liability may be placed on those responsible for ignoring or violating proper safety measures or manufacturers of defective equipment or tools. In a construction accident, all of your legal options must be explored and managed with the help of a skilled personal injury attorney.
Wrongful Death
When you’ve lost a loved one because of negligence or the deliberate wrongdoing of another, you are protected by wrongful death law. As part of the family, you may be entitled to certain damages ranging from funeral expenses to loss of companionship and income your family member provided. Wrongful death claims are subject to a statute of limitations. It’s vital, therefore, to enlist the services of an attorney who can help you take legal action promptly.
