Injury Focuses:

Car Accidents

Car accidents can be a very traumatic and difficult experience. Recovering from these accidents fully requires the financial means to take care of yourself and seek appropriate treatments. Our attorneys work to ensure our clients receive that compensation.

Medical Malpractice

Physicians, nurses and other health care providers can be held liable for damages that patients suffer as a result of their negligence, carelessness or wrongful acts. Our personal injury attorneys represent victims of birth injuries, medication errors, surgical errors and other types of medical malpractice.

Birth Injury

The birth of a child is one of the most defining moments in life. As most parents go to great lengths to ensure that their child is born into this world happy and healthy, they also expect that the medical professionals assisting them uphold their obligation to provide proper and adequate care during pregnancy, delivery and after care. When physicians, nurses or any other health care providers fail to meet these standards of care, devastating and life altering birth injuries can occur.

Pharmaceutical Liability

Victims who suffer injuries or illnesses after taking over-the-counter drugs, prescription medications or dietary supplements have the legal right to pursue compensation from pharmaceutical companies that manufacture and distribute dangerous drugs and medical devices.

• Call your insurance company immediately after talking to your attorney to report the accident, whether or not you were at fault. Failure to do so may result in denial of any claimed damages.
• Write out a detailed description of the accident, including location, time of day, weather conditions, description of the roadway, speed limit, traffic lights, stop signs, etc.
