AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
Every driver is responsible for the safety of others on the road (e.g., drivers, passengers, and pedestrians). If a driver negligently or recklessly causes someone to suffer an injury or death, the victim and/or their family members may be entitled to compensation. Such circumstances can result from accidents involving: cars, motorcycles, buses, trucks, as well as Uber, Lyft or Taxi.
PREMISES LIABILITY
Conditions that fall within the scope of premises liability and give rise to a personal injury claim include: slip and fall, trip and fall, dangerous stairways, elevators, or escalators, hazardous conditions, dangerous conditions at construction sites, loose equipment, uneven surfaces, and inadequate lighting. If someone suffers an injury as a result of any of these conditions, the victim may recover damages from the owner or occupier of the premises.
DOG BITE
People are attacked by dogs and other animals each day. Though some bites are harmless, bite victims commonly suffer severe injuries that tend to be followed by emotional distress. If someone is attacked by a dog or other vicious animal, the bite victim may be entitled to recover damages for medical expenses and the emotional distress that follows.
PRODUCT LIABILITY
Manufacturers, distributors, and retail sellers of consumer products owe a duty to buyers and the general public to ensure the safety of the products that they sell. If someone is injured by a product as a result of a products dangerous condition or lack of adequate warnings thereto, or simply because the product diverted from how it was expected to function, the injury victim may be entitled to recover damages for the harm suffered.
EMPLOYMENT
Employment-related matters that commonly give rise to an individual’s right to recover damages for the wrong include, but are not limited to: discrimination, harassment, wage & hour violations, hostile work environment, wrongful termination, constructive discharge and misclassification of status as an employee or independent contractor.
WRONGFUL DEATH
The sudden and unexpected loss of a loved one is undoubtedly one of the most devastating and challenging occurrences one can face. We understand that, in such circumstances, determining the next step is not an easy task. If you have lost a parent, spouse, child, or domestic partner as a result of someone’s negligence or misconduct, you need an attorney who handles wrongful death matters to help you figure out a course of action.
