Personal Injury
Personal injury claims can arise when negligent, wrongful or intentional conduct causes harm to a person, resulting in a potential claim for financial compensation.
We handle personal injury litigation for both plaintiffs and defendants, public and state liability, slip-and-fall injuries, dog bites, and insurance claims.
The extent of damages includes pain and suffering, past and future loss of earnings, past and future medical expenses, or past and future loss of support in the event of a breadwinner's death. We will help you navigate this challenging process with understanding and compassion.
Medical malpractice
We act for both plaintiffs and defendants in medical malpractice matters.
Medical professionals cannot be held responsible for unanticipated side effects from treatments that cannot be avoided. But they are held responsible if they give substandard treatment by act or omission. This holds true for all providers of health services.
When acting for patients or their families, we recover damages where a patient was harmed by a negligent medical professional.
We will evaluate your case and represent you in court if you believe that careless medical treatment caused your suffering. Compensation typically takes the form of a monetary award for the losses claimed since circumstances brought on by medical malpractice or carelessness cannot be usually undone.
The extent of damages includes pain and suffering, past and future loss of earnings, past and future medical expenses, or past and future loss of support in the event of a breadwinner's death. We will help you navigate this challenging process with understanding and compassion.
When acting for defendants, such as physicians and other health service providers, we aim to secure the best results for our clients. Drawing on our experience, we will ensure your case is presented fairly.
