Motorcycle accidents Motorcycle riders are extremely vulnerable to injury. Broken limbs, brain trauma, and serious skin damage are common results. Motorcycle riders have almost all the rights enjoyed by other drivers, including the right to file claims for injuries.
Truck accidents Trucks carry large and often hazardous cargo, which makes collisions particularly dangerous. Accidents involving truck usually cause very serious injuries, especially when resulting in a fuel fire or a rollover. Because of their large size and weight as well as the applicable rules of the road and cargo transportation, trucks and tractor trailers present unique issues with respect to fault and responsibility. Trucking companies notoriously approach accident victims and their families immediately after the collision, when they are the most vulnerable, in an attempt to prevent lawsuits against them. That’s why it is important to speak to a lawyer as soon as possible to preserve your rights.
Slip, trip, and fall accidents Owners and managers of real property have an obligation to maintain that property in a safe condition. If they do not and an accident results, victims may be entitled to recovery for their medical bills, lost income, and other costs of their injury.
