We Can Help You and Your Family

If you have been injured in a motor-vehicle accident or any other type of accident, you need the high quality representation our team can provide to guide you through the process, ensure all at-fault parties are being held responsible and help you get the maximum amount reasonably possible for your injuries.

Even in a car wreck case, we may need to pursue multiple claims. For instance, if the other driver does not have insurance or an inadequate amount of insurance, we may need to make a claim with your auto insurance carrier for uninsured/underinsured motorist benefits. If you vehicle failed to perform as designed in the crash and caused you injuries, we may need to pursue a products liability claim against the manufacturer. If the other driver was driving under the influence, we may need to pursue a dram shop claim for over-service of alcohol against the bar or restaurant where the other driver had been drinking. Many other potential claims could be possible and without our experienced team you could lose your rights against an at-fault party.
