Sexual Abuse

Sexual assault is a crime that is punishable through the criminal justice system. While a criminal can face real consequences, assault victims have a legal right to file a civil personal injury suit against their attacker alongside criminal prosecution. This means that assault victims can seek financial compensation for the harm they have suffered, which can be used to offset the cost of medical treatment, therapy, lost wages and other expenses caused by the perpetrator.

Medical Malpractice Injuries

We trust doctors, nurses and other medical professionals with our health of the health of our loved ones. They have a responsibility to their patients to adhere to an established standard of care.

  • Surgical mistakes, including errors such as operating on the wrong part of the body or leaving surgical equipment inside the patient
  • Errors and mistakes by ER doctors, nurses and other emergency medical professionals
  • Delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of cancer, heart attacks and other disorders

Toxic Injuries

Toxic chemicals are everywhere. They are common in products we use, exposed to, and/or buy daily.

Some of these toxic exposures include, but are not limited to:

  • AFFF Fire Fighting Foam
  • Paraquat Herbicide
  • Ethylene Oxide Exposure
  • Legionnaires’ Disease
