Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
Our office provides personalized and aggressive representation to individuals and families confronted with personal injuries or the loss of a loved one.
You may have experienced personal injury or harm due to another's negligence or misconduct. Under such circumstances, it is important to remember that there are laws to help protect you and your loved ones, and to help you recover damages due to your loss. Our office offers aggressive, professional representation that is consistent with the particular needs of each client. Cases do not have to proceed to trial, if a settlement can be reached that will allow you to sufficiently recover for your pain and suffering, loss of wages, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional harm, medical bills and other damages. In personal injury cases, lawsuits may have to be filed in a limited amount of time, and if a governmental entity is involved a special notice may have to be sent before filing suit. Our office handles Personal Injury and Wrongful Death actions based upon a contingency fee arrangement (no recovery, no fee); therefore, please contact our office for a free initial consultation.
Workers' Compensation
Our office provides legal representation to individuals who have been injured on the job and have suffered a loss of earning potential or income.
If you have been injured on the job, there are laws that allow you to bring claims against your employer for such work-related injury or illness. Upon injury, your employer must provide you with a panel of medical providers to choose from for medical treatment. Your employer must pay for all authorized medical attention related to the work injury, including mileage to and from medical care providers. In addition, your employer must compensate you 66 2/3 of your average weekly salary/wage for the amount of time you are disabled and the doctor places you off work. Ultimately, if the injury results in a permanent impairment, the law provides for compensation due to vocational loss. Many times there are difficulties experienced by the worker in receiving these benefits provided by law. Please remember there is no fee involved to initially discuss your workers' compensation case; there is only a fee, set by statute, if we recover benefits for you.
Social Security Disability
Our office provides personalized and aggressive legal representation to disabled individuals for their Social Security Disability Claims at all levels of the appeals process
Unfortunately, there are many times an individual is prevented from returning to work after a catastrophic illness or injury. Fortunately, Social Security Disability was established to help individuals who were once active members in the labor market maintain a level of income to provide for the their own basic needs, including those of their dependents. Frequently, when applicants are denied upon initial application, they give up without consulting an attorney. If you have been denied benefits, we urge you to contact a lawyer before your time limit for appeal expires. Our office handles appeals at all levels before the Social Security Administration. Many times the attorney fee can be withheld from your benefits and paid directly by the Social Security Administration. More importantly, there is no initial consultation fee.
