When visiting a doctor for a check-up or undergoing surgery, you have a bond of trust with your doctor. Your hope is that your medical condition will improve, not become more serious, and possibly fatal.

There are times when medical treatments, procedures, and surgeries simply do not provide the desired results. However, medical professionals breaching the applicable standard of care that they are sworn to uphold must be held accountable.

Holding a doctor accountable for negligence is complex and requires the insight of an expert and the resources of a successful law firm. Identifying a breach in the standard of care is only the start of a lengthy and complicated process. From the initial consultation to the final resolution of a medical malpractice claim, we remain at the side of our clients and family members.

The hours and days following a car or truck collision are chaotic. Physical pain is only the start of your problems. Fear and stress set in regarding the damage to your car and the severe injuries you have suffered. You worry that you will not be able to get to work if you are even able to work.

Insurance adjusters will call you immediately to discuss the events surrounding the accident and the extent of your injuries. Their goal is to collect information that minimizes damages. Before you speak to an insurance adjuster, call our firm. Our objective is to first speak on your behalf and move forward with a motor vehicle accident claim that maximizes the compensation you deserve. We attend to every detail of serious car and truck crash claims. Uninsured and underinsured negligent drivers present challenges in finding settlement through other insurance policies. From compensation for property damage to valuing disabling injuries that end careers, our trial attorneys will remain at your side until your case is resolved.
