Overview

The firm’s personal injury / wrongful death practice involves any case in which a plaintiff is alleging physical or mental injuries or death allegedly as a result of a defendant’s work, conduct, property, or product. These claims arise in various contexts and are based on a wide range of legal theories.

In addition to liability issues and/or defenses, cases often require a careful scrutiny of the medical and economic damages alleged. Our attorneys will quickly learn your business and the nature of the plaintiff’s injuries for an efficient but complete defense of the insured.
