Premises Liability
Injuries sustained on someone else’s property can result from a range of hazards, including wet floors, uneven surfaces, or inadequate security. Property owners have a legal obligation to maintain safe premises. If they fail to do so, our attorneys will work to hold them accountable, helping you recover compensation for medical expenses, pain, and suffering.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Elderly individuals deserve care, dignity, and respect. Unfortunately, nursing home abuse and neglect remain prevalent issues.

Our compassionate approach ensures families feel supported while pursuing accountability for their loved ones.

When manufacturers fail to produce safe products, the results can be catastrophic. From malfunctioning vehicles to hazardous household items, defective products can cause serious injuries. We have extensive experience in product liability cases, advocating for clients harmed by design flaws, manufacturing defects, or inadequate warnings.

Life-altering injuries and the untimely loss of a loved one are among the most challenging circumstances anyone can face. We provide empathetic legal representation for catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage, as well as wrongful death claims.
