- Property DamageIntentional torts — A tort is an act committed by one party against another that causes injury or damage. Most torts occur because of negligence or mistakes. But sometimes an act against another person is intentional. Intentional torts, such as defamation and fraud, do not have to cause physical injury to result in damages to the victim, such as financial losses, a ruined reputation or property damage. However, intent must be proven to achieve success in this type of claim. We use effective legal strategies to help you obtain financial consideration for these losses.

- Medical MalpracticeMedical Malpractice: A doctor or other healthcare provider may be liable for medical malpractice if the person deviated from accepted standards of practice. To prove malpractice and establish a healthcare provider’s liability, the victim must secure testimony from a medical malpractice expert proving the healthcare provider’s negligence was a cause of injury or death. When tort lawyers and the victim can establish liability, damages are usually awarded. Also, a victim must file a malpractice lawsuit within a certain time period according to the statute of limitations established for medical malpractice claims. A medical malpractice attorney can help a victim secure expert testimony and navigate the numerous procedural issues associated with these claims.
