Medical
Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when any medical professional causes injury to a patient through a negligent act or omission. More specific areas of medical malpractice are listed, but not limited to, the areas outlined below.
Surgical Errors
A surgical error is a mistake made by a medical professional during a surgery or procedure that causes further harm to the patient.
Failure to Diagnose
Any instance where a medical professional has diagnosed a medical condition incorrectly, missed a diagnosis entirely or the correct diagnosis was unreasonably delayed, can all be considered failure to diagnose.
Prescription Errors
A prescription error is a mistake made during the prescribing and/or fulfillment of a prescription that causes harm to the patient.
Wrongful Death
In the context of medical malpractice, wrongful death occurs when the negligence, carelessness or wrongful act or omission of a medical professional or hospital results in the death of a patient.
Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse
Nursing home neglect and abuse are defined as any instance where a vulnerable, elderly patient is denied basic human needs while in the care of a nursing home/long-term care facility, such as medical care, nutrition, hygiene and/or shelter, or where a caregiver commits an act that causes harm, or the risk of harm, to a patient. Acts of abuse can be physical, sexual, emotional or financial.
Personal
Injury
Personal injury occurs when a person’s body and/or emotional well-being are damaged. In many cases, personal injury is the result of another person’s negligence. More specific areas of personal injury are listed, but not limited to, the areas outlined below.
Motor Vehicle Crashes
Each year in the United States, over 32,000 people are killed and more than 2 million others are injured in motor vehicle crashes. Often times, those crashes could have been avoided but one of the drivers involved in the crash was negligent and as a result, hurt an innocent, law abiding citizen.
Trucking Crashes
A recent study by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety shows that 69% of victims from large-truck accidents are the occupants in passenger vehicles and only 16% are truck occupants. Due to the size and weight of many trucks, collisions can result in death or severe personal injuries. We will hold the trucking companies responsible when you are injured as a result of their negligence.
Motorcycle Crashes
Every year more than 4,000 motorcyclists are killed and more than 80,000 motorcyclists are badly injured in the United States. We have handled numerous lawsuits for injured motorcyclists and we understand the unique issues involved in these claims.
Wrongful Death
In the context of personal injury, wrongful death occurs when the negligence, carelessness or wrongful act of one person results in the death of another person.
Pedestrian Injuries
Injuries to pedestrians injuries can occur in a variety of ways: whether by being struck by a motor vehicle, or encountering a property defect, such as a poorly maintained sidewalk or parking lot.
Construction Site Injuries
A construction site injury can occur in a variety of ways. Falls from scaffolding, roofs, ladders or other elevated work sites are the most common injuries. Other injuries include objects falling on a worker, tripping hazards, electrocutions and exposure to toxins.
Slip & Fall and Trip & Fall Injuries
Slip and fall or trip and fall incidents occur when a person is injured because of a defect on someone else’s property and the property owner knew or should have known that said defect could result in an injury to another person and they failed to correct it.
Dog Bite Injuries
When you are bit by another person’s dog, and the dog owner knew, or should have known, that the dog had vicious propensities because of its general character or recent events, the owner can be liable for your injuries.
