Practice Areas

Car Accidents

Car accidents are the most common type of personal injury claim. Whether you were hit by a distracted driver, involved in a rear-end collision, T-boned at an intersection, or hurt in a highway pile-up, you may be entitled to significant compensation. Our attorneys handle all types of motor vehicle accident cases including:

• Rear-end collisions
• Intersection and T-bone accidents
• Head-on collisions
• Hit-and-run accidents
• Distracted driving accidents (texting, phone use)
• Drunk driving accidents (DUI/DWI)
• Uber, Lyft, and rideshare accidents

Truck Accidents

Accidents involving semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and other commercial vehicles often result in catastrophic injuries due to the massive size difference between trucks and passenger vehicles. These cases are complex, frequently involving multiple liable parties including the truck driver, trucking company, and maintenance providers. Common causes include:

• Driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations
• Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
• Mechanical failure and poor maintenance
• Blind spot and wide-turn accidents
• Jackknife and rollover accidents

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle riders are extremely vulnerable on the road. Even with helmets and protective gear, motorcyclists face a much higher risk of serious injury or death in a collision. Unfortunately, bias against motorcyclists can make insurance claims more difficult. Our attorneys understand these challenges and fight to ensure riders receive fair treatment. Common motorcycle accident scenarios include:

• Left-turn accidents (cars turning in front of motorcycles)
• Lane-change and merging accidents
• Road hazard accidents (potholes, debris, oil slicks)
• Dooring accidents in urban areas
• Rear-end collisions at intersections

Slip and Fall

Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. When they fail to address hazards and someone is injured as a result, they can be held liable through a premises liability claim. Slip and fall injuries can be surprisingly severe, especially for older adults. Common causes include:

• Wet or recently mopped floors without warning signs
• Uneven sidewalks, steps, or flooring
• Poor lighting in stairwells, parking lots, or hallways
• Missing or broken handrails
• Ice and snow that hasn't been cleared
• Cluttered walkways or unmarked obstacles

Medical Malpractice

When healthcare providers fail to meet the accepted standard of care, the consequences can be devastating. Medical malpractice cases require specialized legal and medical knowledge. Our attorneys work with medical experts to build strong cases against negligent providers. Common types of medical malpractice include:

• Surgical errors (wrong site, retained instruments, nerve damage)
• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
• Medication errors (wrong drug, wrong dosage)
• Birth injuries (cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, oxygen deprivation)
• Anesthesia errors
• Hospital-acquired infections
• Failure to obtain informed consent

Workplace Injuries

While workers' compensation covers many workplace injuries, there are situations where you may be entitled to additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit — particularly when a third party's negligence contributed to your injury or when your employer acted with gross negligence. Common workplace injury cases include:

• Construction site accidents (falls, equipment failures)
• Industrial machinery injuries
• Exposure to toxic chemicals or materials
• Repetitive stress injuries (carpal tunnel, back injuries)
• Warehouse and delivery accidents
• Defective equipment or tools

Wrongful Death

The loss of a loved one due to someone else's negligence or intentional act is devastating. A wrongful death lawsuit cannot undo the tragedy, but it can provide financial security for surviving family members and hold the responsible party accountable. Wrongful death claims can arise from:

• Fatal car, truck, or motorcycle accidents
• Medical malpractice resulting in death
• Workplace fatalities
• Defective products
• Criminal acts or violence

Compensation may include funeral and burial expenses, loss of income and benefits, loss of companionship and support, and the pain and suffering of the deceased before death.

Dog Bites

Dog bite injuries can cause serious physical harm, scarring, infection, and emotional trauma. In most states, dog owners are legally responsible for injuries their pets cause, regardless of whether the dog has bitten anyone before. Dog bite cases may involve:

• Severe lacerations and puncture wounds
• Facial injuries and scarring
• Infections requiring medical treatment
• Emotional trauma and PTSD (especially in children)
• Attacks by dogs off-leash or in public spaces
