Vehicle Negligence
Vehicle accidents, including car accidents, motorcycle accidents and truck accidents are one of the leading causes of personal injury. An experienced attorney can help recover fair compensation for an injury caused by a vehicle accident due to negligence.
Construction Negligence
Construction negligence is a general type of case involving accidents on construction sites.

Product Liability
Product liability concerns cases where injury or death is caused by products that are dangerous or hazardous. Product liability cases extend to just about any type of product that a person may use, from heavy machinery and construction equipment to baby toys and consumer electronics.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is professional negligence caused by a medical professional during the course of care. Accepted standards of practice exist to prevent injury or death to patients being treated. Negligence occurs when medical care falls below the accepted standard of care.
Workers' Compensation
Workers' compensation is a system of benefits paid by employers to workers who experience job-related injuries or diseases. It is a form of insurance providing wages and medical benefits to people who have been injured during the course of work. The law is intended to compensate injured workers for lost wages, permanent disability, and to provide medical care.
