Premises
Liability
You may be injured while you are on another's property because of a danger they
knew existed or failed to know about because they neglected to adequately maintain
their property. We have dealt with situations involving slip and falls caused
by uneven sidewalks, staircases that have not been maintained, poor or inadequate
lighting. Other injuries can be the result of unsafe merchandise displays, the
accumulation of debris and, in some cases, the failure to provide adequate security.
If someone allows you onto their property and then fails to provide a safe environment
for you, they may be responsible for harm that comes to you through the actions
of a third party. Parking ramps that are not patrolled, areas where intrusions
are common but security guards are not provided to deter them, or premises owners
that fail to enforce security regulations or prevent or punish occupants from
circumventing safety measures like failing to show identification upon entry
or propping open locked security entrances for easy entry, may expose a building
owner to liability for personal injuries that result.
Workers'
Compensation
As a firm, we represent employees who are injured on the job in making their
claims for lost wages and medical treatment expenses against private industry,
state and local government employers and their workers' compensation insurers.
We will help you handle any issues that arise in the course of the proceeding,
including fraud, subrogation, coordination of benefits with your health insurance
carrier, and appeals. We will work to ensure that your employer provides you
with the benefits you deserve so that you receive the medical care necessary
to recover fully and return to work. If continued employment is not possible,
we will work with you and your employer to obtain retraining or to provide payment
for permanent disabilities.
Personal
Injury
We represent individuals involved in controversies where a person has been injured
or where damage has been done to another's rights, reputation, or property.
These disputes can occur as the result of things like automobile accidents,
defective products, medical malpractice, work-related injuries and assaults.
In addition to the bodily injury you receive, you may also have damage to personal
property and may suffer from emotional distress that was caused intentionally
or simply was a result of the incident itself. We are experienced in assisting
injured individuals evaluate their claims to ensure they are fairly compensated
for all of their injuries, whether they make full recoveries or suffer from
lasting, incapacitating effects.
Prescription Drug Liability In an effort to increase their profits, drug
companies have started marketing directly to consumers hoping to create a greater
demand for their product. These marketing efforts have lead to the creation
of a new brand of "fine print" where the drug manufacturers quickly
mention the potential side effects from use of their newest drug so as not to
discourage the product's use.
Sometimes drug companies have failed to disclose a side effect or have not conducted
enough testing so that all the side effects are discovered. If reports of these
undisclosed side effects are serious enough and are reported to the FDA, the
FDA may issue a recall in which consumers are urged to discontinue use of the
drug and physicians are prohibited from writing new prescriptions. This has
happened with such things as diet medications, cholesterol drugs, painkillers
and various medical devices. We can assist those who have used these re-called
products in evaluating whether or not they have a claim for damages for the
time they used the drug.
Medical
Malpractice
We have experience in medical malpractice law. We have obtained compensation
for our clients in cases where medical professionals have failed to render care
in accordance with the standards established by groups such as the American
Medical Association and the American Psychological Association. We can help
our clients to determine whether a physician's failure to promptly and correctly
diagnose a condition prevented their full recovery or contributed to lingering
handicaps or whether the resulting infirmity or death was unavoidable.
