• Trucking accidents (Generally) - If you or a loved one has been injured in a trucking accident, we urge you to contact our firm as soon as possible after the accident. Important evidence, such as driver's logs and black boxes, need to be obtained. This evidence is often lost or destroyed.
• Catastrophic trucking injuries - A catastrophic trucking injury has a dramatic impact on a person's life. If you are facing injuries, medical bills, and lost wages, contact our firm.
• Wrongful death from trucking accidents - Trucking accidents are often fatal because of the size and weight of commercial vehicles on the road today. We represent families who have lost loved ones in trucking accidents.
• Truck driver fatigue and logging violations - Truckers and trucking companies are required to follow federal guidelines to ensure safe and compliant trucking procedures. We look into these violations and pursue compensation for people who are injured as a result of violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act.
• Nursing home abuse and neglect - We represent family members whose loved ones suffer from abuse and neglect at the hands of the people who are supposed to be caring for them.
• Nursing home bedsores - Nursing home residents should be repositioned regularly. Otherwise, when pressure builds up, painful sores develop resulting in infection and often death.
• Nursing home wrongful death - Our experienced attorneys help family members pursue a wrongful death claim on behalf of a loved one who passed away from nursing home misconduct.
• Group home abuse and neglect - People who live in group homes are placed in these homes because they do not have the ability to care for themselves. We are strong advocates for group home residents, speaking for them when no one else can.

• Breach of insurance contracts - We represent insureds whose insurance company acts in bad faith by denying a claim, delaying payment on a claim, or failing to settle a claim within the policy limits. Our firm holds insurance companies accountable for their unjust practices.
• Underinsured and uninsured motorist claims - Contact us if you were injured by a motorist who did not have insurance, or who carried inadequate insurance.
• Boating accidents - Contact us if you were injured by someone else's negligence involving recreational or other types of boats.
