There are special laws that control who may bring a wrongful death claim and when it may be filed. Like personal injury claims, wrongful death claims may arise from many circumstances including but not limited to personal watercraft accidents, motor vehicle collisions, semi-truck collisions, bicycle accidents, defective products, medical malpractice, nursing home negligence and unsafe railroad crossings.
Personal Injury Law is designed to protect those harmed by the negligence, recklessness, malpractice, or inaction of others. We handle all types of serious and catastrophic injuries cases including the following practice areas: auto and truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, personal watercraft accidents, boating and cruise ship accidents, defective products, medical malpractice, insurance litigation, and slip and falls.
We help medical malpractice and nursing home abuse clients who have suffered from such tragedies as: surgical errors, medication errors, defective drugs, birth injuries, brain injuries, misdiagnosis, failure to warn, and failure to refer. We also assist clients who have suffered from ulcers or open wounds, sub-standard care, slip & falls, dehydration and malnourishment, verbal, emotional and psychological abuse and physical or sexual abuse.
Common causes of car, truck, motorcycle, bicyclist or pedestrian accidents include: distracted driving (texting, cell phone usage, eating, reading), drunk driving, hit and run, rear end collisions, intersection accidents, rollovers, tractor trailer crashes, road construction or defective products. We pursue all cases with the same zeal we apply to even the most complex product liability cases.
We assist fatal and on-fatal motorcycle-related injury clients (minor bumps, bruises, abrasions, road rash, broken bones, and concussions). Common Causes of motorcycle accidents include motorcycle-car/truck Collisions (pulling out in front of a biker, cutting off the motorcyclist, U-turns, right of way violations), sudden-stop collision (rear end accidents), open door accidents and dangerous road conditions (debris, trash, gravel, lose pavement, road construction or railroad crossings).
