We all rely on healthcare professionals to care for us. Unfortunately, medical providers can make mistakes. When they fail to follow the appropriate standard of care the consequences can be very serious. These cases, more than any other cases involving negligence, should be handled by medical malpractice attorneys with experience and knowledge in this area.

When an attorney is negligent in the manner in which he represents a client, the client has every right to seek compensation for any harms or losses he suffers as a result. We routinely represent clients in legal malpractice claims when there is a financial loss caused by the actions of an attorney.

Each year 400,000 to 500,000 large trucks are involved in collisions with automobiles. According to the National Traffic Safety Administration, one out of eight traffic fatalities results from a collision involving a large truck.

Often, it is critical that victims of these tragedies take immediate steps to preserve critical evidence and retain independent experts to investigate the circumstances of the crash and to determine whether the drivers and trucking companies have complied with the many trucking regulations designed to protect other drivers.As with Medical Malpractice and Defective Products matters, pursuing these cases can be very expensive.
