Wrongful death —including deaths caused by auto accidents, slip and falls, workplace accidents, and more. When a loved one is killed by another’s reckless behavior, you deserve to get justice on their behalf.
Traffic Violations
Auto accidents —including T-bone, rear-end, front-end, sideswipe, multi-car, and all other types of accidents. Auto accidents are often caused by driver negligence stemming from speeding, distracted driving, intoxication, and other careless behaviors.
Hit and Run
Uninsured motorist claims —including claims involving uninsured or underinsured drivers and hit-and-run accidents. If a driver without adequate insurance caused an accident, please do not fret. We can help you recover compensation under your own uninsured motorist insurance coverage or by other means.
