Potential Accident Lawyer candidate cases include workers compensation claim or denial, auto car collision, slip and fall claim, offshore accident dispute claim, defective machinery for construction liability, explosion liability, refinery accidents, and no fault insurance claims.  These are but a few of the limitless number of accident claims an insurance company may deny deserving accident victims and their loved ones.

Workers Compensation Settlements – Worker Injury Claims

Besides the roadway, accidents often occur where many Americans spend the majority of their waking hours: the workplace.  For many individuals, injuries at work not only present physical detriment, but also, the cost of recovery, lost wages, and potentially strained relations with their employer put victims of work injuries in a precarious position.  An Accident Attorney will work with you and your loved ones in resolving your workers compensation claim as painlessly as possible.

Accident Involving Alcohol (DUI /DWI Collisions and Crashes)

The dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol cannot be underestimated.  Statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conclude 13,470 Americans lost their lives directly from accidents involving alcohol in the year 2006.  Drunk driving offenses occurred 1.4 million times last year, and along with those arrested or cited, authorities estimate exponentially higher numbers of other drivers which were not caught.  With so many instances of drinking and driving, more accidents involving alcohol will occur, thus leaving hesitant and cynical insurance companies less apt to pay out benefits to justified victims.  An Accident Attorney can ensure your rights as a drunk driving victim are preserved.

Serious Personal Injury

Automobile Accidents

A car accident can range from the inconvenience of being without a vehicle to catastrophe injuries.  No one invites this trauma or these serious injuries into their life.  However, over twenty (20) million people are involved in accidents in the United States each year.  Even the best drivers can not always avoid the negligence of others.  If you have been victimized, take the steps necessary to protect yourself and your family. 

If you are involved in an accident and you have questions regarding your legal rights, you need to speak with an experienced attorney before you speak with the insurance company.  The insurance company has a team of attorneys to protect their interest and so should you.  Please contact our office for a free consultation. 

Wrongful death

The grief that follows the loss of a loved one can be overwhelming.  Survivors want more that anything to know WHY.  Why did this happen?  Could it have been avoided?  Who was responsible?  Even before the worst of the grief has subsided, families are faced with financial hardship as they try to pay the cost of the funeral as well as adjust to life without a husband, a wife, a child or a parent.

Unfortunately the victims family is left with the responsibility of persuing a wrongful death  claim after the accidental death of a loved one.  We can help in this time of need, relieve stress and help focus on healing.  There are limits on the amount of time that you have to file suit so take action now.  We understand the difficulties you are facing, will work with you, see that your rights are protected and that you receive the compensation that you deserve.
