Personal Injury Our office represents plaintiffs who have been injured as a result of someone else's negligence. This includes injuries from motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall occurrences, trip and fall occurrences, injuries from dog bites and injuries from defective products. Our representation is on the contingent fee basis, which means that we earn no fee unless a recovery for our client is obtained by settlement or favorable judgment. Our office will advance the costs and expenses of proceeding with personal injury claims, obtaining reimbursement from the recovery upon the successful conclusion of the case. These costs and expenses usually cover investigation of the occurrence, obtaining medical records and reports, filing fees and sheriff's service, deposition transcripts and obtaining and retaining experts when necessary. An experienced attorney will handle the claim from sign up through the trial, assisted by a paralegal and clerical staff when necessary.

Workers' Compensation Our office represents claimants who have been injured while in the course and scope of their employment, regardless of how the injury was produced. Claimants, also referred to as Petitioners, are entitled to a variety of benefits, including temporary wage loss, payment for medical treatment and permanent/partial disability. Representation of claimants is on a contingent fee basis, the percentage being restricted by statute. Costs and expenses to investigate the claim, to obtain medical records and have claimants evaluated for disability is advanced by the office. If no recovery is obtained for a claimant, no fee or cost reimbursement is required. Claimants that require court appearances will be represented by an experienced attorney. Most injuries occurring on the job or offsite while a claimant is engaged in activity on behalf of the employer are compensable.
