Our practice areas

We take cases involving serious injury or death caused by a wrongful act. This can occur as the result of: 

  • Motor vehicle collisions involving cars, trucks, commercial vehicles, buses and public transit, motorcycles, or pedestrians.

  • Dangerously defective products.

  • Work in commercial fishing, in a vessel, and other maritime injuries covered by the Jones Act.

  • Unsafe commercial premises.

Serious injuries include: 

  • Brain injuries

  • Amputations

  • Paralysis

  • Permanent disabilities

  • Disfigurement

  • Other significant traumas to the body

We also represent individuals against insurance companies when the insurance company wrongfully denies coverage of a claim involving serious injury or death. We protect the rights of those individuals to receive the full protection of the insurance policy they paid for.
