At Spetnagel & McMahon Law Office, our attorneys are experienced at handling all types of personal injury/death cases, including:
Auto Accidents: When a person gets injured in an auto accident due to the negligence of another driver, he or she is entitled to reasonable compensation for medical expenses and pain and suffering, as well as any lost wages or property damage resulting from the accident. In addition, the family members of persons who are injured or killed in an accident are entitled to reasonable compensation for the loss of companionship and support of their loved one.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Accidents: One of the biggest risks we take as drivers is being struck by another driver who is operating his or her vehicle without auto insurance or with insufficient coverage to pay for our medical expenses. In this all-too-common and unfortunate situation, you may be eligible to receive uninsured/underinsured motorists' (UIM) benefits from your own insurance provider under your current policy.
"Slip and Fall" Cases: In certain circumstances, business owners and homeowners have a duty to inspect their premises for hidden, unsafe conditions and make them safe or warn others of the danger. If they fail to do so and a person gets injured as a result, they must pay for that person's medical and other expenses arising out of the slip and fall.
Defective Products: Manufacturers who put their products on the market have a duty to ensure that they are reasonably safe for their intended use. Sometimes, products pose such a high risk that simple warning labels and other disclaimers are insufficient to avoid liability. We have dealt with such defective products as children's bicycles, tools and pharmaceutical drugs (most recently, Vioxx).
