A leading cause of injury and death in America is automobile accidents and motor vehicle collisions. According to national statistics, approximately 6,000,000 auto accidents occur each year, causing close to 40,000 fatalities.

Automobile accidents (including tractor/trailer and truck collisions) are on the rise and are too often responsible for injuries and deaths. We are experienced in handling all aspects of these serious injury cases. Fatal and serious injuries from automobile accident collisions often require hiring experts including accident reconstructionists, investigators, vocational rehabilitation specialists or life care planners. To prove the case to a jury or in a settlement conference, detailed medical illustrations and other forms of demonstrative evidence are often used to explain the collision and the injuries. Our firm specializes in these types of cases and is not only prepared, but honored, to try these types of cases for our clients.

We also are experienced at handling a wide variety of personal injury cases, including products liability and premises liability.
