In addition to cases involving the most serious injuries such as brain injuries and spinal cord injuries, the firm has handled many, many cases involving neck and back injuries, herniated discs, neck and back sprains, "whiplash", broken bones, broken teeth, headaches, post-concussion syndrome, and internal injuries that heal without permanent complications.

In all of our cases, we take into account what the injuries have done to our client's life. We work to understand and illustrate for the insurance company and jury the pain and suffering experienced by our client and the changes the injury causes to his or her life. We take into account the psychiatric consequences of injury, including conditions such as depression, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and specific phobias such as fear of driving or fear of dogs.

When you are injured as a result of someone else's negligence, you have a right to seek financial compensation, and to hire counsel to help you get it. You do not simply have to accept whatever the defendant's insurance company offers you. We will work to see that you are treated fairly and to see that you get the compensation you deserve.
