Cases We Handle
Motor Vehicle Accident Cases
Car Accidents
From rear end crashes to intersection collisions, we help you recover when another driver, insured or not, caused your injuries.
Truck Accidents
Semi trucks, delivery vehicles, and commercial carriers all bring layers of company liability and insurance we know how to untangle.
Motorcycle Accidents
Riders often face unfair bias after a crash. We push back and fight for the serious injuries you sustained, regardless of who assumes fault first.
Bicycle Accidents
Whether you were hit in a bike lane, doored by a parked car, or left behind in a hit and run, we build the case a driver's insurer would rather you didn't pursue.
Pedestrian Accidents
Crosswalks, parking lots, and school zones should be safe. When a driver makes them dangerous, we hold them accountable for the harm they caused.
Multi-Vehicle Accidents
Pileups and chain reaction crashes often mean multiple insurers pointing fingers at each other. We sort out fault so your claim doesn't get lost in the dispute.
Drunk Driving Accidents
An impaired driver's choice shouldn't cost you your recovery. We pursue full compensation through a civil claim, separate from any criminal case against the driver.
Distracted Driving Accidents
Phone records tell a story insurance adjusters would rather you never see. We use them to prove a driver wasn't paying attention when they hit you.
Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Company cars, work trucks, and delivery vans mean an employer's insurance policy is often on the hook, not just the driver's own coverage.
Uber and Lyft Accidents
Whether you were a rideshare passenger or hit by one, app based coverage adds a layer of complexity we know how to navigate.
Cases We Handle
Premises Liability Cases
Slip and Fall Accidents
Wet floors, icy walkways, and uneven flooring cause real injuries. We hold stores, restaurants, and property owners accountable when their negligence causes your fall.
Premises Liability
Property owners have a duty to keep their space safe. When poor maintenance or unsafe conditions cause an injury, we pursue the negligent party.
Negligent Security
Broken locks, poor lighting, and unsecured buildings can turn a property into the scene of a preventable assault. We hold owners accountable for failing to protect you.
Falling Object Injuries
Unsafe shelving and loose fixtures in stores and warehouses cause serious injuries every year. We help you recover when negligent storage puts you in harm's way.
Negligent Maintenance
Broken stairs, loose handrails, and exposed wiring are warning signs a property owner ignored. We build the case that they should have fixed it before you got hurt.
Cases We Handle
Dog Bite and Animal Attack Cases
Common Injuries
Serious and Catastrophic Injury Cases
Brain Injuries
Symptoms of a traumatic brain injury don't always show up right away. We help you pursue compensation even when cognitive effects surface days after the accident.
Spinal Cord Injuries
A spinal injury can mean a lifetime of care. We fight for a settlement that accounts for the treatment you'll need years from now, not just today.
Broken Bones
Surgery, hardware, and months of physical therapy add up fast. We make sure a fracture from a fall or a crash is valued for the full recovery it demands.
Burn Injuries
Burns from a vehicle fire or an unsafe property often mean skin grafts and long term scarring. We pursue compensation that reflects the full course of your treatment.
Whiplash Injuries
Neck pain from a rear end crash doesn't always show up on a scan, which insurers use against you. We know how to prove a whiplash injury is real.
Neck and Back Injuries
Herniated discs and chronic back pain can follow you long after the accident. We push back when insurers try to blame a pre-existing condition instead.
Other Serious Injuries
Internal injuries, amputations, scarring, and PTSD deserve the same serious representation as any other catastrophic injury claim.
Cases We Handle
Wrongful Death Claims
When a fatal car, truck, pedestrian, motorcycle, or premises liability accident takes a loved one, surviving family members can bring a wrongful death claim. It can account for funeral and burial costs, lost financial support, and the loss of companionship and guidance a family is left without. We handle these cases with the sensitivity they demand while protecting the deadlines and the evidence a claim depends on.

Insurance-Related Injury Claims
Personal injury cases often involve more than one insurance policy, and identifying every available source of coverage can be critical to a fair recovery.
PIP Insurance
Personal Injury Protection pays your medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault, but only if you claim it correctly and on time.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims
When the at fault driver has no insurance, too little insurance, or fled the scene, your own policy may still owe you compensation.
Bodily Injury Claims
The at fault driver's liability coverage is often your primary source of recovery, and policy limits shape every negotiation from there.
Other Insurance Coverage
Commercial auto, homeowner's, umbrella, and MedPay policies can all come into play. We identify every source of coverage available to your claim.
Not Sure Which Practice Area Fits Your Case?
Many cases overlap more than one category above. A drunk driving crash can also involve wrongful death, underinsured motorist coverage, or a traumatic brain injury. A slip and fall can involve premises liability, broken bones, and a spinal injury. A dog bite can involve homeowner's insurance, scarring, and a child injury claim all at once.
You do not need to sort this out on your own. We will review the facts of your accident and identify every claim available to you.
