Wrongful Death

We understand how difficult it can be to discuss the death of a loved one. However, if your loved one has died as a result of someone else’s negligence – such as:

  •  a drunk driver
  • a negligent physician
  • a defective product or piece of equipment,

The families of the deceased victims can file a wrongful death personal injury lawsuit against the parties at fault and their insurance companies to help recover damages for:

  • pain and suffering
  • lost wages
  • mental anguish
  • loss of companionship
  • medical costs
  • and other expenses.

 

Personal Injury

Accidents are the most common source of personal injury.  The injured victim and family may be entitled to receive financial compensation. Accident victims must know their rights in order to maximize their chances to receive proper compensation for their injury. Unfortunately, injury victims may be taken advantage of by insurance companies and others who represent the negligent party. It is estimated that insurance companies are saving millions of dollars because accident victims don't know their rights. 

Product Liability

An injury from a defective product can involve:

  • medical expenses
  • lost wages
  • loss of physical capacity
  • pain, suffering, and/or mental anguish.

You may also be entitled to compensation and/or punitive damages as punishment to a manufacturer or distributor for disregard of your safety or flagrant misconduct.
