PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS

Anyone can get hurt in a car wreck. Drivers often become distracted, disobey traffic laws, and engage in reckless behavior, resulting in severe injuries and death.

Commercial trucks are massive and can weigh up to 80,000 pounds with a full cargo load. Although truck drivers must complete extensive training to operate a large truck safely, inattention and errors can lead to a catastrophic collision with other vehicles.

Even though rideshare drivers are supposed to abide by the same traffic laws as others, a dangerous error or split second of inattention can injure their passengers or occupants of other vehicles during a crash.

Losing someone in a preventable accident is a devastating experience. Surviving family members can pursue a wrongful death lawsuit for the costs and losses related to a loved one’s death.

Injured maritime workers can file a claim under The Jones Act, Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, or Outer Continental Shelf Land Act to receive compensation for lost wages, medical care, and additional expenses.

Litigation is sometimes the only option to resolve disputes among partners, employees, and contractors. A range of legal matters can arise that require a lawyer to step in and help the parties reach a favorable outcome.
