Areas of Practice
Nursing Home Neglect
Nursing homes and assisted living facilities are entrusted with providing safe and attentive care for their residents, yet too often, this standard is not met. Preventable deaths from injuries like falls and choking are on the rise, leaving families devastated and residents at risk. No resident should ever suffer—or worse, lose their life—due to neglect. We are committed to holding facilities accountable for their failures, working tirelessly to investigate these cases and seek compensation that ensures justice and better care for others in the future.
Prescription Drug Overdose Deaths
The opioid epidemic has ravaged families everywhere, and prescription drug overdose from such pain medications as Oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, morphine, etc. is often the tragic result of negligent prescribing. Further, we are now seeing frequent methadone overdose deaths, the result of those addicted by doctors who negligently treat their addiction. We have years of experience in cases involving prescription drug overdose death caused by doctors, pharmacists, and pharmaceutical companies. We aim to find the negligent practices that lead to such tragedies, bring those responsible to book, and ensure fair compensation for the affected families.
When healthcare providers fail to meet the standard of care, the resulting consequences may be life-altering and even death. Medical malpractice can be in forms such as misdiagnosis, surgical error, medication error, and birth injuries. The firm works alongside medical professionals to investigate cases like these in order to take the claimant and the family towards compensation for current and continuing medical expenses and lost wages, as well as pain and suffering.
Medical Malpractice
Losing a loved one due to someone else's negligence is devastating. Besides the emotional trauma, many families bear financial burdens related to funeral expenses, loss of income, and medical bills. Our firm represents clients with compassion and skill to hold responsible parties accountable. Whether it is the result of a car accident, medical malpractice, workplace injury, or other negligence, we are committed to seeking justice and fair compensation, understanding that no amount of money can replace that which is lost but may provide some stability during this challenging time.
Wrongful Death
Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can have profound and lasting effects on a person’s life. From physical mobility to cognitive function and emotional well-being, TBIs often require extensive medical treatments, rehabilitation, and long-term care. Our firm advocates for brain injury victims and their families, working with medical experts to assess the full scope of the injury and its impact on quality of life. We seek compensation to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages that may help victims regain stability and security.
Birth Injury and
Birth Defect
A baby's birth should be a joyful time; however, careless medical errors during pregnancy, labor, or delivery may have disastrous consequences, such as cerebral palsy and other birth defects. We hold healthcare providers accountable for negligence during childbirth, working with medical experts to investigate each case. Our goal is to secure compensation that provides families with the resources needed to care for their child and ensure a better future.
