Dangerous our Defective Products - Our firm has an excellent track record of representing individuals who have been injured as a result of an unsafe product that was designed, manufactured, sold, and/or furnished by a person or company.   We assist those injured individuals in bringing their claims and being fairly compensated for their injuries.  Our attorneys have represented individuals injured by:

• Defective medicines and medical devices such as Fen-Phen, Redux, Pondimin, Rezulin, Baycol
• Design and manufacturing flaws in products such as tires (including claims against Firestone, Bridgestone, and Ford Motor Company), or cars (including claims for vehicle rollovers and defective restraint systems against Ford and General Motors)

Medical Malpractice - A medical malpractice case involves injuries arising from the care or treatment rendered by a medical provider.  Medical providers include physicians, nurses, hospitals, psychologists, x-ray technicians and a variety of other medical professionals.  There are many different kinds of medical malpractice, but some examples are: dispensing the wrong medicine or the wrong dose of medicine; improper reading of x-rays; transfusion errors; the misdiagnosis of a life-threatening condition; surgery on the wrong limb; accidents during surgery; infections related to treatment; birth trauma; preventable suicide; restraint-related injuries; burns, falls and pressure ulcers. If you believe you’ve been the victim of a medical mistake, you should contact an attorney with experience in medical malpractice to evaluate and handle your case as quickly as possible. There are complicated and stringent statutes of limitations for medical malpractice cases limit the amount of time an injured individual has to file a lawsuit.

Toxic Torts - Our firm has extensive experience in representing individuals who have been injured by exposure to toxic and other dangerous substances, forms of energy, and devices, including asbestos, mold, chemicals and cosmetics, hazardous waste, medical products and devices, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, radiation and electromagnetic energy, and tobacco.  We represent clients in recovering money damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and punitive damages, where appropriate, individually or as part of a class action

Automobile Accidents - We have represented a large number of automobile accident victims. We take great pride in limiting our representation to plaintiffs and in representing no insurance companies involved in these claims. We are committed to treating each case, large or small, with the seriousness it deserves in order to assure that each of our clients receives the compensation that he or she deserves.

Unsafe Premises/Slip & Fall - Our firm represents individuals who have been injured while on another person or business's land.  Premises liability encompasses a variety of claims, including but not limited to “slip and falls” and other injuries sustained in elevators, building corridors, and outside on private or public land, as well as suits against landowners for foreseeable criminal assaults by others occuring on their property. 

Dog Bites - Many dog owners will not take the necessary minimal steps to train and supervise their dogs to prevent them from attacking innocent people, and especially children.  Dogs, particularly some breeds, including Pit Bulls, can, and often do, cause serious, permanent and extremely painful physical and emotional injuries.

Maritime injuries including those occurring under the Jones Act - We represent clients in legal issues relating to injuries that occur at sea, on navigable waters, or while working in harbor.  We have extensive expertise in the requirements of the Jones Act and the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act.
