We help people who have suffered serious injuries and those who are reeling from the sudden accidental death of a family member. People in such situations are emotionally and financially vulnerable and need legal guidance. We protect their interests during this critical time.

Our attorneys have represented families and individuals in the following areas:

• collisions involving automobiles, semi-trucks, motorcycles and boats;

• injuries and death caused by mechanical failures;

• accidents caused by faulty wiring or other electrical hazards;

• death caused by fire and obstructed exits;

• injuries caused by law enforcement's excessive use of force; and

• death or injury caused by a property owner's failure to properly construct or maintain structures or devices.

We seek justice for accident victims and their families, and we believe that what we do makes a difference in our community, our state, and most important, in the lives of our clients. After investigating the facts and agreeing to accept a case, we:

• Meet with family members to obtain personal information.

• Hire accident reconstructionists, biomechanical engineers and other experts to independently gather evidence and review information obtained by the police.

• Obtain police investigation records and interview witnesses.

• Assist in processing insurance forms.

• Retain economists or vocational experts to quantify the value of lost wages, benefits and services.

• Negotiate with the responsible parties in an effort to reach settlement before filing suit.

• Prepare and file the complaint and other legal papers.

• Obtain information and sworn testimony from the defendant and from witnesses.

• Assist the family in hiring, and work closely with, a probate attorney in wrongful death cases.

• Prepare for and conduct the trial.
