Airplane Injuries
An injury or the death of a loved one in an airplane crash is always a tragic experience. The pain is even greater if you learn that the accident could have been prevented. Negligent airlines must be held accountable when they cause injuries or wrongful death. Don't let airlines put up legal roadblocks to discourage you from pursuing justice.
Brain Injuries
Suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be a life-altering experience, affecting not only the victim but also their family and loved ones. In the aftermath of such an event, seeking legal guidance becomes crucial to navigate the complexities of personal injury claims.

Car Accidents
Whiplash, fractures, concussions, and soft tissue injuries are among the common injuries sustained in car crashes. These injuries can lead to significant medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and emotional distress for the individuals involved. Seeking legal representation becomes crucial to ensure fair compensation for these damages.
Construction Injuries
Construction sites are, by nature, busy environments filled with workers, machinery and vehicles. With a great deal of activity taking place, construction sites require strict safety standards and vigilant managers to prevent serious accidents that could result in loss of limb, paralysis, permanent disability and wrongful death on construction sites.
Employment Compensation Claims
No one wants to file an employment compensation claim, but if you do an honest day’s work, you deserve an honest day’s pay. Unfortunately, many employers choose not to abide by this simple standard. If you feel that your employers have given you no other choice than to file an employment compensation claim, we can help you get back what they owe you under employment law.

An injury on a family vacation or in the midst of a business excursion can have physical, financial and emotional consequences.
Mass Tort Litigation
Have you or a loved one been injured by a defective drug or medical device? A mass tort lawsuit is a personal injury case in which a large group of people sues one or more companies, because the companies’ products injured them or gave them a disease.

Medical Malpractice
When you make an appointment to be treated at your local medical clinic or you enter a hospital for medical care, you do not expect the physicians, nursing staff or other trained medical professionals to hurt you. Our attorneys know that victims of medical negligence have to deal with the pain from their injuries or the heartbreak of an incorrect diagnosis, but also all of the questions that will follow.
Premises Liability
When an injury occurs on the property of another, the owner of the property may be at fault. Liability can be established if it is determined that the property owner was negligent for failing to maintain his property or give proper warning of dangerous conditions. This includes slip and fall injuries. Failure of property owners to maintain safe conditions or notify potential guests of hazardous conditions could constitute negligence.
Product Liability
When a product is purchased, you have the right to maintain certain expectations regarding the product. The foundation of those expectations is that the product will not cause harm to you or a loved one. When a defective product results in injury, you have a right to pursue compensation for medical expenses and justice. Safe products that work correctly are the cornerstone of our economy, and we need to fight to prevent defective goods from undermining confidence.
