Areas of Practice

Airplane Accidents
Millions of people pass through airports and fly on airplanes every year, and in some tragic cases, serious injury and even fatality occur. When a patron or employee's suffering and damages are the result of negligence on the part of the airline or airport, they may be held liable for their actions through a personal injury claim.

Amusement Park Accidents
Amusement parks offer excitement and relaxation for many people, but the powerful machinery can cause extreme injury in the event that a ride malfunctions in some way. The owners and managers of the parks have a responsibility to protect their visitors from harm, and if they fail to properly maintain their premises they can be held accountable for any injuries that result.

Back Injuries
Negligent accidents often leave the victims with serious back injuries as the result of a collision of serious fall. The pain and damage from these injuries can require extensive medical treatment and still have long-term effects, and can keep the victim from working and enjoying their life as they did before the accident.

Bicycle Accidents
Bicyclists can experience life-changing injuries when they are involved in collisions with passenger vehicles and large commercial trucks. Drivers have a responsibility to be aware of their surroundings and look out for bicyclists, and when their careless or reckless actions injure innocent bike riders, they can be held liable for any damages caused.

Boating Accidents
Boats are strong vehicles that travel at very fast speeds, and if a driver is operating their boat carelessly or dangerously they can cause devastating injuries or tragic fatality. If your family has suffered because of the actions of a negligent boater, do not hesitate to retain knowledgeable legal counsel to discuss your options to pursue justice.

Bus Accidents
The city bus system is very convenient for many people, but when drivers are negligent or the buses are improperly maintained, innocent passengers can be seriously harmed.

Car Accidents
Every year thousands of families are affected by car accidents, and the sad fact is that many of these collisions could have been prevented. You may be entitled to compensation if you were injured or lost a loved one as the result of a drunk, reckless or distracted driver's actions on the road.

Catastrophic Injuries
In the most tragic accidents, victims are left with catastrophic injuries that have devastating impact upon the rest of their lives. These types of injuries are those that have painful or debilitating effects on the victim long-term, and can include such damage to the body as broken bones, burns, brain or spine damage, and permanent scarring.

Construction Accidents
Construction is one of the most dangerous industries in the country, and workers can be placed in serious risk of harm if their employers fail to uphold safety regulations or properly train their employees. You can seek a fair settlement for your medical expenses and losses because of an injury on a job site through a personal injury claim.

Dog/Animal Attacks
Pet owners are responsible for the behavior of their animals to a certain extent, and if they fail to properly restrain their dog and an innocent victim is attacked, they can be liable for the injuries sustained. If you or your child was hurt by someone else's dog or pet, it is important to speak to a lawyer who can help you understand your options to pursue rightful compensation.

Drunk Drivers
When a driver chooses to get on the road while intoxicated, their conscious choice puts other drivers and passengers in extreme danger.

Against large passenger vehicles and even larger commercial trucks, motorcyclists are extremely vulnerable. When drivers do not pay attention to the road and collide with motorcycles, devastating injuries or fatality often results. Motorcyclists who have been hurt by negligent drivers can seek a monetary settlement to cover their expenses and losses by filing an injury claim against the responsible drivers.

Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians are often the victims of horrible accidents when drivers fail to obey traffic laws and do not pay full attention to the task of driving. These victims often suffer terrible injuries because of the careless or reckless drivers, but they may be able to obtain justice through injury claims.
