Personal Injury: An examination of the police report, medical records and reports of eyewitnesses is important.
Car Accident: Each car accident presents a unique set of circumstances.
- Injured Passenger: Insurance "stacking" may be an option that will help an injured passenger obtain the compensation that he or she needs.
- Truck Accident: A truck accident may have been caused by driver fatigue or failure to maintain a truck in safe driving condition.
- Motorcycle Accident: Our attorneys work to combat bias against motorcyclists when making claims for compensation on behalf of injured bikers.
- Drunk Driving Accident: The fact that the other driver was under the influence of alcohol may help or hinder your claim for compensation.
- Dram Shop: A bar or restaurant that served a driver who in turn caused injury or death in a traffic accident may be responsible.
- Pedestrian Accidents: A hit-and-run pedestrian injury or death may mean that you will need to file a claim for compensation under your own auto insurance or your homeowners insurance.
Boating Accidents: Accidents on the water may involve motor boats, jet skis and other personal watercraft.
Dog Bite / Animal Attack: A dog bite injury may require surgery down the road. A full report from a diagnostic physician should be closely examined.
Construction Site Accidents: Besides a workers' compensation claim against an employer, there may be a third party liability claim after a construction site accident.
Brain Injury: Closed head injuries are often tricky to codify and document — but it can be done through neuropsychological testing and other means.
Wrongful Death: A fatal accident may lead to a wrongful death claim to compensate the family for medical costs, funeral and burial costs, replacement of loss of income from the person who died, and other losses including loss of companionship and loss of the marital relationship.
