DUI/DWI
If you were injured in an auto accident that was caused by a drunk driver, the DUI injury lawyers at Parker Waichman LLP will work tirelessly to hold the negligent driver and their insurer responsible for the harm you have suffered.
Wrongful Death
If any eligible survivors have not claimed their entitlements, they are missing substantial funds, especially for cancers that make up a large share of the payouts. Various illnesses have different compensation amounts; for example, asthma brings $20,000, while different types of cancer may command up to $250,000. Wrongful death cases are the most highly compensated, with the surviving spouse receiving $250,000 plus lost wages and each dependent child receiving $100,000. Barasch estimates the average wrongful death payment to be around $500,000.
Traffic Violations
Sex Crimes
When an employee feels at risk at work, they may be eligible to pursue a workplace assault lawsuit. A creditable threat of physical violence, verbal harassment, or sexual assault should be immediately reported to a supervisor or human resources professional. If that report is not resolved, the employee who is being assaulted has the right to file a workplace assault lawsuit for negligence in civil court. Work-related lawsuit lawyers are familiar with tactics that employers use to suppress employee lawsuits. At Parker Waichman LLP, we are prepared to handle your workplace lawsuit.
Fraud
Consumer fraud lawsuits involve unfair and deceptive tactics used by businesses and other entities to gain financially at the expense of consumers, including bait-and-switch tactics, charging for services that were not provided, false or misleading advertising, and unfair pricing.
Robbery
When people think about workplace violence, they often picture a current or former employee who suddenly snaps and brings a weapon to work. In reality, these kinds of episodes make up only a fraction of the violence perpetrated in the workplace. A large portion of workplace violence involves a third party, unconnected to the business and the victim, who comes in with the intent of committing a robbery or other crime.
Drug Crimes
Defective drugs are medications that cause physical or psychological injury. Often, these injuries relate to recalled drugs, drugs that were not adequately tested for all of their potential side effects, manufacturing errors, dosage mistakes, inadequate warnings, or mislabeling. If you have been injured as a result of a defect in a drug or a labeling error, we encourage you to contact a defective drug attorney from our firm for a free consultation. At Parker Waichman LLP, we’re renowned for our success with defective drug cases.

Assault
Murder

Wrongful Termination
Sexual Harassment
Negligent Training – Along the same lines of negligent security, employers need to train all their employees as to what to do in a dangerous scenario like a robbery or customer hostility. Without proper training, employees are more at risk of being injured. Employers also need to provide training in sexual harassment and workplace hostility so that all employees know what unacceptable behavior is and what steps they can take if they experience workplace violence.
If you were injured on someone’s property due to dangerous conditions, you may be entitled to compensation. However, you must take legal action quickly to preserve evidence and build a strong case for liability against the negligent property owner. When you hire a premises liability lawyer at Parker Waichman LLP, they will go above and beyond to build the strongest case possible to help you recover the compensation you deserve for injuries sustained in an accident that was caused by the negligence of another.
