- DUI/DWIDriver error – Truck drivers and passenger vehicle drivers are responsible for following the rules of the road and driving reasonably in all circumstances. Distracted driving, drowsy driving, DUI, speeding, and recklessness are all common factors involved in driver error accidents.
- Wrongful DeathThe victims of a wrongful death extend out much further than just the person who died. Indeed, the family members and close relatives are also victims. We believe that, in many cases, the family members deserve compensation for their loved one’s death. The law agrees with us: The California Wrongful Death Statutes and Survivor Statutes states that if the death was the result of recklessness, criminal conduct, improper conduct, negligence, or the inaction of another person, the survivors should receive monetary damages.

- Premises LiabilityAs you know all too well by now, construction accidents also happen because someone was just trying to do something the quick and easy way. Landowners should also be aware of premises liability as they could be held responsible for any injuries that happen on their land. In many cases, an injury victim will have a workers’ compensation claim to file and a third party case if the party partially or fully responsible for the injury might not be the employer.

- Medical MalpracticeMany amputations happen as a result of some other injury. Some amputations are performed to prevent the spread of infection or cancer. Amputation is often the only way to treat some conditions such as extreme frostbite or gangrene. Unfortunately, some planned amputations go awry. When physicians operate on the wrong person or the wrong body part, they can change someone’s life forever. Acts of medical malpractice involving amputation are particularly devastating for victims and their families.
