Wrongful Death
”Wrongful death” is a legal term that refers to situations when
a person dies because of the negligence of another. Wrongful
death cases may arise from a variety of incidents, including car
accidents, job related accidents, and medical malpractice.
Our goal
is to make sure that the survivor and beneficiaries are properly
compensated for their loss. In times of grief it is obviously
difficult for family members to understand the importance of a
prompt investigation of the circumstances of death, preservation
of evidence and identification of responsible parties. Let us
help you.
Automobile Accidents
We represent automobile accident victims. We are committed to
treating each case, large or small, with the seriousness it
deserves in order to assure that each of our clients receives
the compensation that he or she deserves.
Slip and Fall
“Slip and Fall” describes a situation where one can not safely
walk without falling. A common case involves the lack of
maintenance of ice and snow. While the law does not require
perfect conditions, a landowner must be reasonable.
A total
failure to remove ice and snow, not responding after complaints
or other falls, or improper construction can all be the basis
for a slip and fall case. The general rule of law is that the
landowner has a duty to keep his property in a reasonably safe
condition.
Premises Liability
Premises Liability cases arise from injuries occurring in
residential and commercial buildings, shopping centers and
parking facilities, hotels, airports, healthcare facilities,
nightclubs and bars, as well as universities and public schools.
The
general rule of law is that the owner or operator of the
premises has a duty to keep the premises in reasonably safe
condition or at least warn customers of a dangerous condition of
which the owner or operator either caused, knows about, or
should know about. Lack of adequate security could be a valid
claim. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured as a
result of dangerous premises then you may have the right to file
a legal action.
Dog Bites
Some dog owners will not take the necessary steps to restrain or
supervise their dogs. An unrestrained dog can viciously attack
innocent people, and especially children. The resulting injuries
can be catastrophic. Physical and emotional scars can last a
lifetime. In most circumstances, a dog owner will be financially
responsible for personal injury caused by their unrestrained
dog.
Construction Site Accidents
Construction is the United States’ largest industry, and
unfortunately, construction site accidents kill and injure
thousands of workers each year. Despite safety standards to
prevent construction accidents, one out of every ten
construction workers suffer some kind of on the job injury,
including:
· Falls
· Scaffolding, Crane, Conveyor, Ladder, Winch, and Backhoe
Accidents
· Electric Shock
· Trench Collapse
· Fire and Explosion
· Highway Vehicle Accidents
· Compressed Gases Accidents
· Welding Accidents
Although
most injured workers will be entitled to Workers’ Compensation
benefits, these benefits will not cover all of the expenses
faced by an injured worker and generally do not cover pain and
suffering and the full range of damages available to the loved
ones of a worker who is killed in an accident.
When a construction site accident occurs, responsibility for the
personal injury can be attributed to a variety of individuals or
businesses, including the owners, contractors and
subcontractors, engineers, electricians, scaffolding companies,
architects, insurance companies and manufacturers of equipment.
For example, the general contractor and subcontractors must
provide a reasonably safe work environment and manufacturers of
construction equipment are responsible designing and maintaining
safe products.
Knowledge of federal and state standards governing construction
sites is imperative when developing theories against all of the
third parties who may be responsible for a construction site
accident. Any attorney you choose should be experienced in the
inspection of worksites, preservation of evidence and
identification and questioning of critical witnesses.
Oil Field Accidents
Injuries that occur in oil fields can be unusually severe and
result in serious disability that prevents the injured person
from returning to work and earning a livelihood. Despite safety
standards in place to prevent oil field accidents, oil field
workers suffer on the job injuries at an alarming frequency. The
most common accidents occur as a result of:
· Falls
· Defective Machinery
· Pipeline and Roughneck Work
· Sulfur Hydroxide Fumes
· Tank Explosion
· Inadequate Safeguards
When a
construction site accident occurs, responsibility for the
personal injury can be attributed to a variety of individuals or
businesses. In complex cases, in addition to negligence and
workers’ compensation, the legal principles of agency and
corporate law may be necessary in determining liability.
Knowledge of federal and state regulations governing oil field
is imperative when developing theories against all of the third
parties who may be responsible for an accident. Any attorney you
choose should be experienced in the inspection of oil fields,
preservation of evidence and identification and questioning of
critical witnesses.
