Automobile Accidents

In Maine, you have to prove two things to recover money if you’re hurt in a car accident through another driver’s carelessness:
(1) That the carelessness (called “negligence”) of the other driver was more responsible for the accident than anything you did, and
(2) That your injuries are real, and are caused by the accident (not some unrelated condition or mishap.)

 

Birth Injury

Birth injury cases are complex. You may need the help of a competent injury attorney well versed in this complex area of birth injury law.  A large percentage of birth injury cases are lost at trial, regardless of merit. An experienced birth injury lawyer can significantly improve your chances of winning your claim.

 

Medical Malpractice

Medical professionals are meant to provide care and healing, but in cases of medical malpractice the opposite occurs. When a doctor makes an incorrect diagnosis, fails to treat a patient's condition promptly, issues a wrong prescription, or neglects to administer appropriate care, the patient may suffer serious injury.

 

Products Liability

Manufacturers and store owners have a responsibility to consumers. They must ensure that the products they sell are neither defective nor inherently dangerous. If a dangerous or defective product injures an unwary consumer, the manufacturer (and sometimes the designer, distributor, wholesaler, or retailer) is considered legally liable, as long as the consumer was using the product as it was meant to be used when he or she was injured.

 

Personal Injury

Personal injury victims are injured through the fault of another person or group. Personal injury encompasses a broad range of cases, from slip and fall injuries to automobile accidents.

 

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one is by far one of life's most difficult experiences, and when that death came about because of someone's negligent or wrongful behavior, pain is often redoubled.
