Practice Areas
The Cases WeTake Personally.
Thirteen areas of focused advocacy for clients nationwide. Select a practice area to see what it covers, what compensation may be available, and the mistakes that quietly cost people their claims.
Personal Injury
When someone else's carelessness changes your life, we build the case that makes them answer for it.
What It Covers
Any injury caused by another party's negligence — collisions, falls, defective products, and catastrophic injuries requiring lifetime care. We investigate liability, coordinate treatment with providers who work on a lien, and value your claim on the full picture: medical bills, lost earnings, and the life you no longer get to live the same way.
Compensation May Include
- Past and future medical treatment, surgery and therapy
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage, rental and out-of-pocket costs
- Punitive damages where conduct was egregious
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Giving a recorded statement to the other insurer before you have someone in your corner
- Accepting a fast, low settlement before the full extent of injury is known
- Gaps in treatment — insurers read them as proof you were not hurt
- Posting about the incident or your activities on social media
Car Accidents
From a busy interstate to a quiet side street, we handle collisions nationwide from the first call to the final check.
What It Covers
Rear-end, intersection, hit-and-run, multi-vehicle and DUI collisions in communities across the country. We secure the traffic collision report, preserve dash and surveillance footage before it is overwritten, retain reconstruction experts where liability is contested, and pursue every layer of coverage.
Compensation May Include
- Emergency care, imaging, orthopedic and pain management treatment
- Vehicle repair, diminished value and rental reimbursement
- Lost income, including gig and self-employed earnings
- Pain and suffering, plus future care for lasting injuries
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Telling the adjuster you are 'fine' at the scene — adrenaline masks injury
- Waiting days to be examined — insurers everywhere exploit delay
- Signing a medical authorization that opens your entire history
- Letting your own carrier resolve the claim without a coverage review
Motorcycle Accidents
Riders get blamed first and paid last. We flip that with hard evidence and aggressive advocacy.
What It Covers
Left-turn, lane-change and road-hazard collisions involving riders. We counter the bias that riders were speeding or lane-splitting recklessly with scene evidence, helmet and gear analysis, and reconstruction testimony.
Compensation May Include
- Orthopedic surgery, road rash treatment and scar revision
- Long-term rehabilitation and future care
- Motorcycle repair or replacement and riding gear
- Disfigurement, pain and suffering
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Letting the insurer characterize lawful lane-splitting as fault
- Repairing or disposing of the bike before it is documented
- Skipping follow-up care for injuries that seem minor
Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Big rigs bring big insurance and rapid-response defense teams. We move just as fast.
What It Covers
Collisions involving semis, delivery fleets, box trucks and company vehicles. We send preservation letters for driver logs, ECM data and telematics within days, and pursue the carrier, broker and employer alongside the driver.
Compensation May Include
- Catastrophic injury care, surgery and lifetime treatment
- Full wage loss and lost earning capacity
- Vehicle and cargo losses
- Punitive damages for safety-rule violations
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Waiting weeks to act while electronic data is overwritten
- Speaking with the carrier's rapid-response investigator alone
- Assuming the driver's policy is the only coverage available
Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist
The at-fault driver had no coverage — or nowhere near enough. Your own policy may still owe you.
What It Covers
UM/UIM claims against your own carrier, including hit-and-run and phantom-vehicle cases. We audit every applicable policy, meet the strict notice requirements, and escalate to formal action when your insurer undervalues its own insured.
Compensation May Include
- Medical treatment and future care up to policy limits
- Wage loss and out-of-pocket expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Stacked or umbrella coverage where available
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Missing the deadline to notify your own insurer
- Assuming a hit-and-run leaves you without recovery
- Accepting a limits offer without checking every policy in the household
Lemon Law
If your vehicle keeps failing under warranty, state and federal lemon laws may require the manufacturer to buy it back.
What It Covers
State lemon law and federal Magnuson-Moss warranty claims for new and used vehicles still under warranty — repeat repair attempts, extended shop time, and defects affecting use, value or safety. Manufacturers often cover the legal fees when the claim succeeds.
Compensation May Include
- Vehicle buyback or replacement
- Refund of payments, down payment and registration
- Civil penalties up to two times damages for willful conduct
- Legal fees typically paid by the manufacturer
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Losing repair orders — they are the backbone of the claim
- Verbal complaints only; always get the visit documented
- Waiting until the warranty expires to get advice
Slip & Fall / Premises Liability
Property owners must keep their premises reasonably safe. When they do not, they answer for the harm.
What It Covers
Falls from spills, broken stairs, poor lighting and unmarked hazards in stores, apartments and parking structures, plus injuries from negligent security. We move immediately to secure surveillance footage and incident reports.
Compensation May Include
- Surgical and rehabilitative care
- Wage loss and household support costs
- Pain and suffering
- Future care for lasting mobility limits
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Leaving without reporting the incident to the property manager
- Not photographing the hazard before it is cleaned up
- Waiting while footage is overwritten on a 30-day loop
Wrongful Death
Nothing restores what was taken. We pursue the accountability and security your family is owed.
What It Covers
Claims brought by surviving spouses, children and dependents after a fatal collision, fall, or act of negligence, together with survival claims belonging to the estate. Handled with discretion and patience.
Compensation May Include
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of financial support and benefits
- Loss of love, companionship and guidance
- Pre-death medical expenses and the decedent's losses
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Delaying while evidence and witnesses disperse
- Signing insurer releases before the full claim is understood
- Filing without the correct statutory heirs joined
Dog Bites
Most states hold owners strictly liable. A first-time bite is still a full claim.
What It Covers
Bite and knockdown injuries on public property or where you were lawfully present. Most claims are paid through homeowner's or renter's insurance without a courtroom.
Compensation May Include
- Wound care, infection treatment and reconstructive surgery
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Psychological treatment, especially for children
- Lost wages and caregiving costs
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Not reporting the bite to animal control
- Failing to identify the owner and the dog's history
- Under-treating a wound that later becomes infected
Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents
In a crosswalk or a bike lane, you have no protection but the law. We enforce it.
What It Covers
Crosswalk strikes, right-hook and dooring collisions, and unsafe roadway design claims. We rebut the reflexive claim that the pedestrian or rider 'came out of nowhere' with video, witnesses and reconstruction.
Compensation May Include
- Trauma care, surgery and long-term rehabilitation
- Wage loss and reduced earning capacity
- Bicycle, equipment and personal property
- Pain, suffering and permanent impairment
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Declining an ambulance evaluation after a hard impact
- Not preserving the damaged helmet or bicycle
- Giving a statement about speed or distance from memory alone
Family Law
Steady, discreet support during the moments that reshape a family.
What It Covers
Dissolution, legal separation, custody and visitation, child and spousal support, property division, and restraining orders. We aim for durable agreements and escalate when the other side will not be reasonable.
Compensation May Include
- Custody and parenting plans built around the child
- Accurate support calculations and modifications
- Community property characterization and division
- Protective orders where safety is at issue
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Informal side agreements that no court will enforce
- Moving out or moving a child without an order
- Hiding income or assets from your own representatives
Workplace & Construction Injuries
Workers' comp is rarely the whole story. Third-party claims are where real recovery lives.
What It Covers
Falls, struck-by and equipment injuries on job sites, alongside your workers' compensation claim. We look past the employer to general contractors, subcontractors, property owners and equipment manufacturers.
Compensation May Include
- Full medical care beyond the comp fee schedule
- Wage loss above comp's partial replacement
- Pain and suffering, unavailable in comp alone
- Future care and vocational retraining
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Assuming workers' comp is your only remedy
- Missing the employer injury-report deadline
- Letting the site be altered before it is documented
Not Sure Which One Fits?
Describe what happened in your own words. We will tell you which claim applies and whether it is worth pursuing.
