Personal Injury

Personal injuries happen when someone is injured by the negligence of another person or business.  Negligence happens when someone acts unreasonably, recklessly, or carelessly, causing harm to a person or property.  Our firm helps the seriously injured get the compensation they need to put their lives back together.

Personal injuries can also happen in a variety of ways.  The results are often catastrophic and life-altering, if not life-ending.  A few examples are as follows:

• A company releases a dangerous drug without testing it or knows the risks of taking the drug, but fails to include a warning label;
• An 18-wheeler driver is distracted by texting and collides with another car;
• A developer negligently builds a balcony he or she knows is not stable and it collapses while someone is standing on it;
• An 18-wheeler driver runs a stop-sign or stop-light and collides with another vehicle;
• A chemical manufacturer who knows their product is linked to cancer decides not to put this on a warning label;
• A doctor amputates the wrong limb or removes the wrong organ;
• Negligent discharge of a firearm, causing organ damage and paralysis;
• A medical device or implant is known to have defects in it that can cause serious health conditions or death, but the manufacturer continues to produce it without warning labels; or
• A car manufacturer discovers a weak point in the car but decides not to fix it due to cost, resulting in serious injury and death to drivers of the car.

The examples above are just a few examples of negligence.  It can come in many forms, but with over 75 years of combined experience, our team has seen it countless times.

Each case is different and results vary based on a variety of factors, such as severity of injury, severity of negligence, findings of fault by law enforcement and insurance companies, and a number of other factors.  However, our firm has obtained successful results for many clients.  We have the experience to handle a variety of cases, particularly in the area of catastrophic, life-altering injuries.
