Motor Vehicle Accidents
A motor vehicle accident can be a frightening and frustrating experience. Dealing with painful injuries, a damaged vehicle, and an uncooperative adjuster can be a bewildering combination. Allow our experienced team of attorneys and legal professionals to assist you in recovering the compensation to which you are entitled under the law.
Inadequate Security
When numerous crimes have occurred on or around a property, the owner may have a duty to take corrective safety measures. Certain design features – including the layout of a property, its lighting, and the placement of exits – make some properties and the people who frequent them easy targets for crime. A property owner may have a duty to warn visitors of potential dangers.
If you are a victim of crime that occurred on someone else's property, you may have a right to recover from the property owner. Call us to discuss your rights.
Premises Liability
Property owners are required to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition and to warn visitors of hidden dangers that could lead to an accident. The owners of shopping centers, department stores, grocery stores, service stations, city sidewalks, apartment complexes, homes and other properties must meet these requirements. If you have been injured on someone else’s property, contact our office for a consultation about your rights.
Insurance
When you purchase an insurance policy, you do so to protect yourself against the risk of loss. When the time comes to use the policy, however, companies sometimes deny payment for legitimate claims. Interpreting an insurance policy and its numerous provisions, exclusions, endorsements, and other subparts may be difficult. You may need help determining whether the insurance company should have denied your claim. If you have filed a claim that you feel has been unfairly denied, contact our office for help.
Medical Malpractice
Americans visit doctors and other health care providers for a variety of reasons ranging from routine physical exams to radiology screenings to surgery. Since we trust our health and well being to these professionals, it is important that we hold them accountable for their mistakes if these mistakes cause serious injury or death. Our firm strives to protect the public from injuries due to medical errors. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury at the hands of a health care provider, please call our office for more information.
