- Workers CompensationWorkers who are seriously injured by industrial machinery may feel their only recourse is a claim through workers compensation. Unfortunately, workers comp only reimburses you for medical bills and earnings losses; it does not compensate for damages such as pain and suffering. On the other hand, you may recover for pain and suffering in a products liability lawsuit. Such an action may be appropriate if there was a defect in the design or manufacture of the industrial equipment that caused your injury.
- Premises LiabilityA. I will give you a perfect lawyer answer. “It depends!” If the case is very complicated, such as a medical malpractice or products liability case in which the lawyer or law firm must spend long hours and invest a great deal of the law firm’s money, then the answer is “yes.” For a standard auto accident or premises liability case, probably not.
- Property DamageA. If you’ve been in an accident and the damages relate largely to property damage to your car or, in the alternative, you have minor or non-permanent medical injuries, then chances are you do not need a lawyer. Many insurance companies will actually handle small claims on a more favorable or fair basis in an effort to prevent you from hiring an attorney who might thereafter try to make a so-called mountain out of a molehill.

- Slip and Fall InjuryA theme park has multiple dimensions apart from its rides: transportation, dining, merchandise sales, traffic and crowd control, first aid and public safety, to name just a few. The major theme parks are like small cities, facing myriad problems and implementing protocols to deal with them. One common problem is litigation of everything from slip and fall injuries to food poisoning. Theme parks view themselves as “deep pocket” defendants that attract frivolous lawsuits, and so they vigorously defend all claims against them.
