WORK INJURY:
When you are injured on the job, you become eligible for benefits that include temporary disability payments if you can not return to work immediately, medical treatment and transportation costs to attend treatment, and the right to be represented by an attorney. If you have sustained a permanent disability, you will be entitled to medical treatment for your industrial injury the rest of your life unless you settle this benefit. However an industrial injury claim may take years before it can be settled. Serious work injuries require a serious and knowledgeable attorney to insure you receive the Workers’ Compensation benefits to which you are entitled. Don’t get the “run around” by the insurance adjuster. Have someone fight for you who know your rights.

PERSONAL INJURIES:
Many people are embarrassed by personal injuries they sustain in car accidents, from falls, or dog bites. They assume they are not entitled to money damages because the injury was “nothing”. Yet an attorney will tell you not to belittle your injury as it may turn out to be quite serious entitling you to substantial money damages. When you are seriously injured you are entitled to recover wage loss, medication, diagnostic study, physical or psychological therapy, home health care and any future medical expenses. In addition to your out of pocket expenses, you undoubtedly suffered great mental and emotional anguish called “Pain and Suffering”. In many cases, a loved one also was injured with you and you may be entitled to collect damages for the loss of love and companionship.

I work each case to insure it moves forward toward maximum monetary recovery for you.

CASES HANDLED:

TRUCK, BUS AND AUTO ACCIDENTS
There are many dangerous drivers on our highways and roads. Many drivers are drunk or under the influence of drugs. Everyday, people are severely injured by the negligence of other drivers. When injured you become a victim through no fault of your own. You need an experienced, compassionate trial attorney who knows how to handle litigious defendants and high medical expenses. If you have been in a serious bus, truck or automobile collision and need my help or know of someone who does, then contact my office.

DOG ATTACKS
A dog bite can leave both physical and mental scarring. Under California Law, if you are bitten in a public location or while lawfully in a private residence, the dog’s owners will be liable for any damages. These damages can include your lost wages, lost earnings potential, plastic surgery, future medical care, psychiatric treatment expenses and your physical and mental pain and suffering. It has been my experience that when a dog has bitten you, he has a history of biting others. Always report a dog attack to your local animal control office. They will pick up and quarantine the animal thus insuring the animal is not rabid

SLIP AND FALLS
Insurance usually protects homeowners and businesses with liability insurance if someone falls on their property. Many falls are caused by the owner’s negligence in not providing hand-rails, floor mats, properly tacked carpeting or cleaning spills. When a fall occurs, the injuries can be substantial, such as fractured hips, torn knee or shoulder ligaments and broken arms. If you have been injured, contact me immediately for an analysis of your case and how I can help.

WRONGFUL DEATH
There is nothing more devastating then losing a loved one. This loss can be compounded if your financial support relied on your loss. Money cannot replace any individual. If negligence exists, I will insure you receive the maximum recovery available. Call me with your concerns and for a case evaluation.
