Car Accidents
Car accidents can cause serious injuries that can affect your health now and in the future. It’s important to see medical attention immediately following a car accident, even if you don’t feel injured. Symptoms of soft tissue and other types of serious injuries may crop up days or weeks later. The longer the time between the accident date and the date you first go to the doctor, the more the insurance company will try to reduce your injury claim.

Truck Accidents
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations are designed to protect motorists who have to share the roads with tractor-trailer rigs. To prevent driver fatigue, truckers can’t drive for more than 10 hours in a 24-hour period. Safety regulations also deal with the proper loading of materials and safety rules when passing other vehicles and on traveling speeds. Truckers are required to keep logs of their driving time and trucking companies are required to keep maintenance records. Most modern trucks also have GPS devices that show, down to the minute, how fast the driver was going and how quickly they came to a stop. By comparing the GPS records with the driver’s logbook, we can find discrepancies between driver logbooks and GPS records.

Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice cases are often complex, involving medical terminology and various theories on what went wrong and who caused the injury. Medical malpractice suits can be brought not only against doctors, but against hospitals, nurses, insurance companies, and laboratory technicians. The standard for medical malpractice is whether the doctor acted reasonably compared to other doctors in the defendant's field of practice.

Construction Site Accidents
Most construction accident injuries happen because general contractors don’t set out a safety plan that coordinates safety responsibility with all subcontractors involved in a project. Injuries can also be caused by an employer's violation of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rules.
