Auto Accidents

There are millions of cars on the road each day and frequently the drivers behind the wheel fail to exercise appropriate care, instead choosing to drive drunk, text, groom themselves, read, eat, and talk on the cell phone. These actions take a driver’s eyes off the road for extended periods of time and can cause a catastrophic accident.

Slip And Fall Accidents

Premise liability laws state that anyone who owns or manages a property must take reasonable steps to ensure that visitors can safely enter the property. This means that regular checks of the property must be made and hazards fixed, including those that may result in a slip and fall.

Lawsuits can take anywhere from several months to more than a year depending on the circumstances.
