MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Medical malpractice is a doctor's failure to exercise the degree of care and skill that a physician, surgeon, or any other medical professional would use under routine circumstances. There are a number of factors you should look for when choosing a lawyer in this field. A lawyer can tell you that he or she handles medical malpractice cases, but in reality only a few actually do. You want to be absolutely sure that the lawyer you hire really handles this type of case.
NURSING HOME ABUSE
Elderly patients in nursing homes are among the most vulnerable members of our society. By law, nursing homes must provide care to maintain the highest practicable physical, mental and well-being of each resident. When a loved one has been a victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, you need an experienced personal injury attorney that will work hard to protect your loved one's legal rights.
PRODUCT LIABILITY
All states allow some form of recovery to persons injured by "defective products." Manufacturers are responsible for damages caused by the defective product. Those who are considered to be in the "chain of commerce" may be liable, even if they didn't know of or cause the defect. Tracking down all of the parties who may be responsible is tricky, so a good attorney will be vital in locating all of the parties that should be sued. You may have a class action suit if there are a lot of people that have been injured by the product. If circumstances are similar to others who have been injured, you could hire an attorney to represent all of your claims.
PREMISES LIABILITY
Any accident occurring on or around the property of another which results in injury or death should be thoroughly investigated to determine if the landowner is liable to the injured party for failing to keep the premises in a safe condition. An attorney who is knowledgeable in the law of premises liability can advise you regarding the property owner's responsibilities under the laws of your state. An attorney experienced in the area of premises liability will be able to advise you of your rights.
