Brain Injuries

Brain injuries can be devastating and impact every aspect of your life and the lives of your family. A traumatic brain injury can affect your personality, mental capacity, bodily control, physical capabilities and your decision making abilities. Brain injuries can occur through a work-related accident, slip and fall accident, car accident, diseases, complications of birth and even small accidents, such as a child falling out of a grocery basket or a fender-bender.

There are two types of head injuries:

1. Open head injury — occurs when the skull is penetrated and the consequences are usually very serious and even death.
2. Closed head injury — occurs when the brain is forced against the inside of the skull.

Animal Bites/Dog Bites

Animal/dog bites can be very traumatic and can cause very serious injuries, including permanent scarring and even death in some cases. The majority of animal/dog bites involve children. This occurs because children are smaller, they are usually unfamiliar with animals/dogs and are unable to protect themselves. Children often sustain injuries to the face which can result in permanent emotional and physical scarring.

Product Liability & Defective Products

When products are sold to consumers that are unsafe for their intended use, they can cause serious injuries and even death.

Essentially, any product that you use or come in contact with may be the basis for a product liability claim if the product was defective either in design or manufacture and the defect in the product causes injury to you or a family member. A defective product could include parts on your car not working as intended, side effects from a prescription drug or a child's toy that causes injury to the child.

Product liability cases require a thorough investigation of the product to determine what caused it to be defective and who is responsible for the injuries caused.

Our law firm has a well-earned reputation for providing aggressive and high quality representation, and we know injury law. If you or a loved one was injured by a defective product, please contact us for a free consultation so we can put our resources to work for you.


 

Construction Accidents

The dangerous heights and equipment involved in construction can result in serious injuries and even death to workers and bystanders. Your workers' compensation claim may not be sufficient to cover the costs of your medical treatment, lost wages, physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, or future losses. In many cases, you will have additional claims beyond those covered by your workers' compensation benefits.

Our law firm has a well-earned reputation for providing aggressive and high quality representation, and we know injury law. If you or a loved one is the victim of a construction site accident, please contact us for a free consultation so we can put our resources to work for you.
