- DUI/DWIA 27-year-old woman suffered a broken nose, hip, femur, and thumb as a result of a drunk driver who crossed the center line and collided with our client. We were able to secure her a $250,000 insurance policy limit recovery.
- Wrongful DeathThese damages are for pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, disfigurement, wrongful death, scarring, loss of opportunity to enjoy life, interference with marital and/or parental relationships, and other types of general damages.
- Traffic ViolationsAnd even though there are fewer cars on the road since the Covid pandemic, in fact, 16 percent fewer, according to some sources, it’s ironic, but fewer drivers has actually led to more speeding to the tune of 27% increase and also hard braking incidents, up 25% as well as phone usage while driving, which is up 38%.
- Sex CrimesIn a situation like this, there might not only be civil consequences, but also criminal repercussions available as well. This is also a good example of how and when a nursing home may be liable for damages that result, even if it’s another resident guilty of the sexual assault or abuse rather than a staff member. Because if employees or management or ownership of the nursing home knows or should be aware that there’s a risk that such activity may or is taking place between residents or with staff, they have to take measures to reduce that possibility and or to warn both the resident and or their loved ones that something like that is going on.
- Assault

We tell everyone to go see VanDerGinst Law because they LITERALLY took care of everything we thought we needed to worry about. They told us to just concentrate on getting well.
- Workers CompensationOur client was working as an electrician when a wire punctured his cornea. The injury limited his ability to work and earn a paycheck. Our attorney secured a settlement of $43,500 (twice the initial offer from his employer’s workers compensation insurance) to pay for his medical expenses and lost wages.
- Premises LiabilityProperty owners have a legal obligation to maintain their property in a way that doesn’t pose harm to others. Some of the most well-known examples of premises liability claims are slip and fall accidents.
- Property DamageAlways be sure to stop, first of all, when you’re in accident, don’t drive away from the scene of an accident, even if it’s a minor accident, because first of all, you may be overlooking opportunities to pursue compensation if you’ve sustained property damage or injury. And secondly, you could be facing criminal penalties, especially if you’re partially to blame in causing the accident. So always make sure you stop.

- Power of AttorneyIf your loved one is not getting proper medical care, it may be because funds are are being diverted by a staffer. If you notice, unexplainable withdrawals from the accounts of your loved one. Again, that’s a good a good indication something bad is going on. If you notice that other names are being added to credit cards and bank accounts or that you’re just simply seeing that money and or other items are missing, those are things that you have to be on the lookout for and finally look to see if there are any changes in powers of attorney, life insurance, wills, deeds, etc.
