Bicycle Accidents

Cyclists may be injured by a negligent driver or by a local municipality's failure to ensure that bike paths and roads are safe for cyclist travel. We represent injured bicyclists in cases against negligent drivers and local governments.

Car Accidents

From fender-benders to multi-car collisions, we advocate for victims harmed by reckless, distracted, negligent, or intoxicated drivers.

Catastrophic Accidents

Catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, severe burns, and amputations, forever alter victims' lives and require extensive, lifelong medical care and support. Our firm fights aggressively to secure maximum compensation that accounts for your future medical needs, lost earning capacity, home modifications, and the profound impact on your quality of life.

Construction Accidents

Many construction site accidents are due to safety or OSHA violations or failure to provide proper safety gear and training. We represent injured construction workers, subcontractors, and visitors to construction sites, including those receiving workers' compensation benefits.

Dog Bite Injuries

Dog bite claims are complex, hotly contested cases. We protect victims of dog attacks, demanding fair compensation and holding irresponsible pet owners liable for harm their dogs caused.

Motorcycle Accidents

Even with a helmet and protective gear, motorcycle accident injuries can be severe. Our firm advocates for the rights of motorcyclists hit by a car or injured due to preventable road debris and unsafe conditions.

Pedestrian Accidents

We represent pedestrians who were struck by a car or truck, a cyclist or e-scooter rider, or who were injured due to uneven or improperly maintained walking paths and pavement, filing suit against individuals or municipal governments.

Rideshare Accidents

Slip or trip-and-fall accidents are considered premises liability claims. Property owners can be held liable if someone slips and falls on their property.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip or trip-and-fall accidents are considered premises liability claims. Property owners can be held liable if someone slips and falls on their property.

Truck Accidents

Commercial semi-trucks cause catastrophic injuries in traffic collisions. We support people in claims against the trucker and the trucking company.

Wrongful Death

A wrongful death is due to the negligence or malicious action of another party. Our firm represents surviving family members in wrongful death actions against persons and entities.

Medical and Professional Malpractice

Malpractice claims are a subset of personal injury cases in which a professional breaches their professional obligations, failing to deliver the standard level of care expected for their position. This breach, often associated with negligence, results in direct harm to the patient.

Birth Injury

Injuries to mother and/or baby during labor and delivery, including improper use of forceps, failure to order an emergency c-section, and failure to respond to fetal distress.

Failure to Diagnose & Misdiagnosis

A physician's failure to accurately diagnose a patient's medical condition based on their symptoms and medical history. Failure to diagnose can mean a patient misses the window for early intervention, leading to the unnecessary progression of the disease.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is the failure of any medical professional (doctor, nurse, anesthesiologist, surgeon, or CNA) to provide the standard level of patient care expected of their position.

Medication Errors

Medication errors include prescribing drugs that negatively interact with each other, prescribing medication the patient is allergic to, prescribing the wrong dosage, or a medical provider giving a patient the wrong medication or wrong dose.

Nursing Home Abuse

Nursing home abuse can be physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, or financial. It can be perpetrated by facility employees or resident-on-resident. We hold the individuals and the care facility liable for harm to residents.

Surgical Errors

Surgical errors can include operating on the wrong body part, leaving a tool or medical supplies inside a patient, or improperly administering anesthesia.
