We have focused our entire legal careers on the protection of individuals with legal challenges involving
- Personal injury. We protect the rights of individuals who have been injured by the negligence or carelessness of others, handling claims involving motor vehicle accidents (car, truck and motorcycle), slips and falls, bicycle and pedestrian accidents, product liability, construction or industrial accidents and dog bites/animal attacks. We also represent individuals and families in wrongful death actions. In addition, we aggressively pursue accidents caused by people who are intoxicated, including bar/tavern dram shop claims. For more information, go to our personal injury page.
- Workers' compensation. We represent people who have been injured in the workplace, helping you navigate the workers' compensation system and recover benefits for lost wages and medical expenses and disability settlements and awards. We focus our workers' compensation practice on all types of employment, including construction and industrial injuries, as well as repetitive stress trauma, including carpal tunnel injuries. To learn more, see our workers' compensation page.
- Employment law. We handle a wide range of claims for employees, from discrimination and harassment claims to wrongful or retaliatory discharge or termination. This includes retaliatory discharge for requesting workers' compensation benefits. We also protect the rights of individuals under state and federal worker protection statutes, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, FMLA, the Age Discrimination Act and whistle blowing claims. See our employment law page for additional information.
- Denial of insurance benefits. If you have been wrongfully denied benefits under a policy of insurance, from a health or disability insurance contract to a homeowners or life insurance policy, we will act as your advocate with your insurance provider, helping you recover the benefits to which you are entitled. We will file and litigate a claim based on fraud, breach of contract or bad faith denial, if necessary. For additional information, go to our page on the denial of insurance claims.
