Personal Injury & Wrongful Death

Personal injury and wrongful death law is designed to provide financial protection for individuals who have suffered catastrophic injuries such as brain and spinal cord injuries or other permanent bodily harm as a result of the negligent or wrongful actions of another individual, company or government entity. Although there are many types of personal injury cases, the most common relate to automobile, trucking or railroad accidents; slip-and-falls; explosions; boating and other water-related accidents; sports injuries; premises liability; and defective products. Our lawyers are experienced at defending the rights of innocent citizens injured by the negligent acts of others. When personal injury is the result of a negligent act committed by a professional, a case for medical, legal or professional malpractice results.

Commercial Litigation

Our litigation attorneys represent clients in a variety of litigation, including banking, class actions, commercial disputes, contract law, government regulations, employment, ERISA, environmental, fiduciary liability, health care, intellectual property, products liability, public utilities, real estate and securities.  Our lawyers’ real estate expertise will assist you in litigating easements, eminent domain, landlord/tenant or leasing, development regulation or land use issues.  When you seek mediation, arbitration and litigation in construction cases and homeowners association disputes, the firm’s staff taps into its collective proficiencies.

We often counsel our clients on proactive alternative dispute resolutions and refrain from recommending litigation when a matter may be resolved without incurring expensive time-consuming court proceedings.

When a satisfactory resolution cannot be obtained through other means, our lawyers are experienced and prepared to aggressively litigate cases at trial. Commercial litigation also encompasses civil litigation, which involves construction defects, breaches of contracts, liens, foreclosures and real property disputes.
