- Wrongful DeathWhen a victim of an accident sustains serious or permanent injuries, they can sue the parties responsible for their injuries to recover money to compensate them for their medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages and other forms of damages. However, when the victim does not survive the accident, they do not have the opportunity to be compensated for their loss. Because of this, our laws provide a way for the family of the victim to pursue the claims themselves, and these claims are known as wrongful death claims. The attorneys at The Law Offices of O’Donnell & Smith have experience representing wrongful death claimants and can represent you or your family in your wrongful death claim.

- Premises LiabilityPremises liability refers to the principle that an owner of property has a legal duty to maintain that property in a reasonably safe condition, and to warn entrants onto the property of any dangerous conditions that exist there. When a property owner fails to do either of these things and breaches his or her legal duty, they can be held liable under a premises liability theory for the resulting damages, including medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering. We have handled numerous cases against almost all the big supermarket chains and against other owners of commercial and residential property.

- Medical MalpracticeMedical malpractice arises when a medical professional fails to use the care and skill expected of a trained medical doctor under the given circumstances. Some medical errors may ultimately be harmless or result in no permanent damage. Unfortunately, other medical errors can result in serious, permanent injuries or even the premature death of a patient. In some cases, the damage from the error may not even be visible for weeks, months or even years. However, this does not mean that the doctor responsible for the error should escape responsibility for their negligence. If you believe that you or a loved one of yours may have been a victim of a medical error, the lawyers in our office are prepared to help.
