Personal injuries happen in a variety of situations and they are caused by many types of reckless, negligent conduct by other parties. Some of the most common types of personal injury accidents and situations include:
Car accidents – This includes many types of accidents, from distracted driving and drunk driving crashes to accidents involving speeding. Our injury lawyers are prepared to represent victims of many types of accidents, pursuing the compensation you deserve.
Motorcycle crashes – These are some of the most dangerous traffic accidents because riders have nothing protecting them except their helmets and any protective gear they are wearing. These crashes often result in serious injury or death.
Truck accidents – Truck drivers are pressured to meet unrealistic deadlines and this leads to speeding, drowsy driving and other dangerous behaviors. When these large vehicles crash into much smaller passenger vehicles, occupants can suffer death or life-changing injury. Our attorneys understand the complexities of these cases.
Slip and fall accidents – These can happen in a variety of locations, from shopping malls and parking lots to public areas, like pools or parks. These accidents have many causes, from snow and ice to wet floors, debris, or bad lighting. These may seem like minor accidents, but they can cause months or years of pain and suffering.

We know how devastating it can be for families to discover their elder loved ones have been abused. Partner Jeffrey A.

Defective product accidents – When consumers are injured while using a product as it was intended to be used, they may have a claim against the manufacturer, designer or another party in the chain of distribution.
Medical negligence – These are some of the most complicated, time-consuming cases. They involve various types of negligence committed by medical professionals who are supposed to be ensuring the well-being of their patients.
Dog bites – Dog bites can cause severe injuries that could affect you for a long time. In some situations, the owner could be held liable for the damages suffered by the victim.
