We navigate insurance negotiations and, if necessary, court proceedings with one aim: maximizing your recovery while you focus on healing.
Construction sites are inherently dangerous, but that doesn't excuse an owner or general contractor’s responsibility in providing a safe construction site. If you've been injured on a construction site whether as a worker or a bystander, you have rights that need protection. We handle cases involving fall from heights, gravity related risk, worksite trip/slip and falls, defective equipment, safety violations, and more, striving to secure compensation that covers past and future pain and suffering, medical treatment, rehabilitation costs, and lost income.
Bus accidents can involve complex liability issues and multiple parties. Our law firm has extensive experience in handling these cases, ensuring that all responsible parties are held accountable. We advocate for victims of bus accidents to recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, using our deep understanding of transportation laws and insurance policies.
Accidents involving commercial trucks can be catastrophic. We specialize in cases against large trucking companies and their insurers, addressing complex issues like federal regulations and commercial policies.
Our goal is to ensure that you receive full compensation for your injuries and losses, while we handle the legal complexities.
With the rise of rideshare services, accidents involving Uber and other companies have become more common. We represent both passengers and drivers in these cases, navigating the unique legal challenges they present, from insurance disputes to liability issues.
Bicyclists are vulnerable to serious injuries even in minor collisions. We understand the nuances of bicycle law and work to protect your rights against motorists and city liabilities. Our firm fights for the compensation you deserve for your medical care, loss of income, and pain and suffering.
Dog attacks can cause severe physical and emotional scars. We help victims of dog bites pursue claims against owners to cover medical expenses, psychological counseling, and any other related costs. Our approach is compassionate yet assertive, focusing on your recovery and rightful compensation.
Property owners have a duty to ensure their premises are safe. If you've been injured due to unsafe conditions, such as poor lighting, wet floors, or hidden hazards, we can help. Our premise liability expertise allows us to effectively advocate for your right to compensation for injuries sustained on improperly maintained properties.
Slip and fall accidents are common but can lead to serious injuries. We handle cases involving negligence such as spills left unattended, unsafe staircases, and icy walkways. Our firm works diligently to prove fault and secure settlements that cover all aspects of your recovery.
When medical professionals fail, the consequences can be devastating. We are adept at dissecting medical reports, consulting with top medical experts, and building strong cases to challenge negligence. We aim to secure justice for you, covering everything from surgical errors to misdiagnoses.
If you've been injured at work, navigating the workers' compensation system can be overwhelming.
