Criminal Law

• Wrongful Death
  Losing a loved one is a painful experience, and words can’t begin to express the grief. Adding insult to injury, however, is the fact that many deaths are avoidable. When someone dies because of another person’s negligence, the surviving family members have the right to bring a wrongful death lawsuit against the responsible party. Having experienced counsel is essential to making the strongest possible claim.
• Traffic Violations
  Breach: The plaintiff must show the defendant violated the duty of care by acting negligently. Negligence is a failure to act as a reasonably prudent person would, and can be evidenced by any number of acts or omissions. Speeding, failing to stop at a stop sign or failing to yield the right of way are some examples of such acts or omissions.
• Sex Crimes
  Sexual abuse is also prevalent in nursing homes. Victims sometimes fall prey to staff members or other residents. Not only is sexual abuse degrading and emotionally destructive, but it can also leave the victim with physical injuries such as sexually transmitted diseases. Abuse can range from rape and sexual molestation to forced nudity and spying on residents while they are undressed. Sexual abuse is a crime, but the facility itself may be held civilly liable for allowing it to happen.
• Theft
• Assault
• Identity Theft
  Unscrupulous staff members often view nursing home residents as easy targets. Identity theft, stealing, fraud, forged signatures on estate documents, and other forms of financial exploitation happen regularly. It’s also common for predators to threaten victims into silence so their crimes aren’t exposed. But nursing home staff aren’t the only ones who engage in these activities. Sometimes, residents are victimized by other people living in or visiting the facility.

• Personal Injury
  When someone acts irresponsibly and causes injury to another person, the victim can pursue compensation against the wrongful party. This is done by means of a personal injury lawsuit. Pursuing a personal injury claim is no simple matter. Victims will have to go up against insurance companies that don’t want to pay and lawyers who will find every possible way to use the justice system against them. So who can you turn to if you or a loved one has been injured?
• Medical Malpractice
  A personal injury trial is a legal proceeding in which a plaintiff seeks compensation for injuries sustained in an accident or incident caused by the negligence or wrongful actions of another person or entity. Personal injury cases can arise from a variety of accidents, including car accidents, slips and falls, medical malpractice, and product liability.
• Auto Accidents
• Dog Bites
  Dog bites are another common personal injury claim. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 4.5 million dog bites occur in the United States each year, with about one in five requiring medical attention. Dog bites can result in serious injuries, including infections, scarring, and nerve damage.
