We provide quality legal services in several areas of the law, but we focus on the following:Personal Injury and Wrongful Death , Wrongful Death cases involve the negligence of one party and the accidental / wrongful death to another party. If a loved one was killed due to the negligence of another, the legal heirs may be entitled to compensation for their loss. Legal responsibility, called "liability", revolves around the simple fact that most injuries happen because someone was careless or "negligent". We handle serious personal injury and wrongful death claims. We have attained many insurance settlements and multi-million dollar awards on behalf of injured clients. Medical Malpractice , Every year in the United States more Americans are killed through medical negligence than die in auto accidents. Generally, when illness or injury forces you to visit a physician or go to the hospital, you can usually be assured that the doctor's years of experience and training will result in excellent treatment of your ailment. But in truth, physicians are only human, and as such errors are always possible. Cases involving birth injuries, brain injuries, emergency room errors, misdiagnosis, negligent treatment, failure to diagnose, surgical errors, obstetrical and gynecological malpractice, spinal cord injuries, paraplegia, and quadriplegia. Auto Accidents , Auto accidents, collisions, and crashes involving cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, trains, bicycles and pedestrians injure millions of people each year. They also claim the lives of thousands of people across the United States annually. Any type of auto accident, ranging from simple car collisions to semi truck accidents, to construction zone accidents, alcohol related accidents, hit and runs. Nursing Home Abuse , Nursing homes are meant to be safe and caring places for the elderly and otherwise vulnerable persons. When a family member or other loved one moves into a nursing home in Florida, we want to feel that he/she is safe and will be well cared for. Many nursing homes in Pensacola and the surrounding area provide their residents with excellent and attentive care. But this is not always the case. Injuries from falls, malnutrition, bedsores, gangrene, pneumonia, over-sedation, poor medical care, wrong medication, lack of supervision, abandonment, sexual assault, coersion, physical or mental abuse. Products Liability , Making money is often put ahead of product testing and safety. Many serious injuries and deaths could be avoided if manufacturers took basic steps to ensure safety of their products. Our product liability lawyers handle lawsuits and litigation against the manufacturers of dangerous and defective products.
