Motorcycle Accidents
Simply put, motorcycle accidents are personal to me. I’ve ridden motorcycles since I was a child and have come to know them as a safe, economical and fun mode of transportation. Unfortunately, in accidents between motorcycles other vehicles the rider often pays a terrible price, and then has to face the insult and outrage of being unfairly treated by an insurer, even when free of fault, because of the stigma that is unjustly applied to motorcycles and riders in our society. I understand the traumatic nature of these accidents and will pursue these claims vigorously to ensure that the rider is treated respectfully and without prejudice. If this objective cannot be obtained through negotiation, I will present the matter in a forceful and compelling fashion to a jury of our peers.
Child Accidents/Injuries
Few things tear at our hearts more than the injury or death of a child. Look into the eyes of anyone who has lost a child through any tragic occurrence and you will know, beyond all doubt, that they have lost a piece of their soul and will never be the same. Simply put, any preventable child injury is a tragedy. I will fight tenaciously to ensure that your child receives both justice and the maximum benefit of any recovery against the wrongdoer. I will prioritize your child’s interests and in this endeavor I will never charge a fee of more than 25% on any case involving a child—no exceptions.
In the most serious cases where the effects of the child’s injuries will last for years or even a lifetime, I will work closely with parents, physicians and other health care specialists to plan for your child’s future medical treatment and life care needs, and in appropriate cases, I will collaborate with skilled financial consultants who can advise on the best investment options to maintain your child’s recovery.
Serious Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
For nearly twenty years I have successfully handled cases involving serious, permanent, and even fatal injuries resulting from motor vehicle crashes, workplace accidents and defective products . I stand ready to pursue your claim — with the sensitivity and professionalism these tragedies deserve — to achieve the maximum results for you and your loved ones.
Working with highly-skilled experts in fields such as traumatic brain injuries, neurological and orthopedic injuries, occupational medicine, lost earning capacity and life care planning, I will work to maximize your recovery and help ensure that funds are appropriately set aside and maintained for future needs.
Workplace Injuries
The hard-working men and women of our State often suffer serious injury or death as a result of being subjected, by their employers, to known, unsafe workplace practices or conditions. Workers’ compensation insurance, if available, may provide certain coverage for these tragic occurrences but it does not cover all damages sustained and can leave the injured worker and his or her family in a state of financial ruin. Thankfully, our State provides another source of recovery—the “Deliberate Intent Claim””—which helps place these unfortunate workers and their families in a position to weather the financial burdens they will endure as a result of their employer’s wrongdoing. I have successfully handled these sometimes technical and otherwise complicated cases for nearly twenty years. I know the subtle nuances of the applicable laws, and have access to the highly-skilled medical, engineering and safety specialists who are necessary to present your claim in a powerful and convincing manner.
Defective Products
As consumers, we expect the products we buy to be properly designed, tested and manufactured, and reasonably safe for their intended use, but every year defective products cause serious injury or death to thousands of Americans. If you or a loved one have been seriously injured, or a loved one has been killed as a result of a defective product, I have the experience and access to the highly-skilled experts required to present your claim in a powerful and convincing manner.
Medical Malpractice and Nursing Home Abuse
The mistreatment of our loved ones seeking medical treatment, or receiving long term care, is particularly devastating given the trust we willingly place in those providing such care. Moreover, the injuries and damages which often stem from such negligence and mistreatment can be physically and financially catastrophic. I have recovered millions of dollars for the victims medical malpractice and nursing home abuse and stand ready to pursue a just recovery for you or your loved ones who have endured such a tragedy. I have the experience and the experts to prepare and present your claim in a powerful and convincing fashion, and maximize your recovery.
Wrongful Termination and Employment Discrimination
Just as I have seen riders suffer the prejudices of a society that often looks down on those who do not fit within their definition of “mainstream,” I have seen, all too often, the great hardships imposed upon those who have been wrongfully terminated, or otherwise improperly discriminated against in the workplace based upon such factors as their age, race, gender or disability. As I often tell my friends, my one intolerance is the intolerance of others toward those who are unlike themselves. Thankfully, we have laws in our State and in our nation to protect us all from the baseless and improper biases and prejudices of others. If you or a loved one have been the subject of a wrongful termination or other workplace discrimination, I will work vigorously to ensure that justice is served by properly punishing your employer and recovering for you all compensation you have lost, and all other damages you have suffered as a result of your employer’s misconduct. I will also seek to relieve you of any obligation to pay for my services by shifting that burden to your employer under one of the fee-shifting provisions of our equal employment opportunity laws.
Property Damage and Negligent Construction
Few things can be more frustrating than being deprived of the use and enjoyment of your property due to the fact that it has been damaged or destroyed by the negligence of another. Amazingly, some of the worst property damage I have seen over the years was caused by those who had been employed to improve or repair the property. If your home or other real property has been damaged or destroyed by the negligence of a contractor or another, contact me to discuss your claim and your options. I’ve handled these claims almost daily from the time I began the practice of law in 1994, and likely have about as much experience in property damage claims as any attorney practicing for as long as myself. This extensive practice has given me a wealth of knowledge in the areas of architecture, design and construction practices, and it has plugged me into an extensive network of design professionals, contractors and others who may be required to maximize your recovery.
