If you have been seriously injured, or if a loved one has been injured or killed due to negligence, timing is often a very important part of prosecuting your case. Witnesses will need to be intervewed before their memories fade. Accident sites will need to be inspected and photographed before they are changed. Dangerous products will need to be examined and photographed before they are altered or repaired. Medical records will need to be gathered. At our firm, we have the resources to properly and promptly investigate your case.

There are many ways one is injured due to the negligence of others. One very common way is through car accidents. One major factor in a personal injury case involving a car accident is the cause of the car accident.

Other vehicle related cases include motorcycle accidents, trucking accidents, truck rollovers and truck driver negligence, hours of service regulations, drunk driving accidents and pedestrian accidents.

Some injuries that are caused by these accidents are broken bones, burn injuries, soft tissue injuries, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injury, and other catastrophic injuries as well as wrongful death.

Besides vehicle related accidents, serious injuries arise from construction accidents, premises liability, railroad accidents, dog bites, slip and fall accidents, medical malpractice, hospital negligence, defective products, mesothelioma, nursing home abuse, and dangerous drugs.
