There is always current litigation against businesses that knowingly misled the public about the safety and validity of their products... Click here.
  • May 2019 - Ask 10 parents if they'd rather see themselves injured or their child, and they will all tell you they'd rather be the ones hurt. Sadly, we have no say in the matter. Accidents don't discriminate when it comes time to choose a victim. Sometimes, you can do everything right and still end up with an injured child... Click here.

  • March 2019 - The English writer Walter Savage Landor once said, "Delay in justice is injustice." Ol' Walter lived until 1864, so it's safe to say he never stepped foot in a modern courtroom.

  • February 2019 - All too often, we'll get a call from an injured party after they've accepted a settlement from an insurance company. These conversations usually go something like this: Hey Jim, I was recently in a car accident. When I got home from the hospital, a representative from the other driver's insurance company showed up at my house. They offered me $50,000 to pay ...  Click here.
  • January 2019 - The passing of an American president is always big news, so I wasn't surprised to see every publication in the country running obituaries and tributes to George H.W. Bush. Click here.
  • December 2018 - When it comes to small fender benders and minor accidents, insurance usually covers everything with relative ease. Maybe it's a pain organizing all the paperwork and getting in touch with the at-fault party's provider, but once you do, it's usually a straightforward process. Click here.

  • August 2018 - All personal injury claims are serious, but none more so than wrongful death cases. As the name implies, these claims are brought about by surviving family members in the event of their relative's premature death. Click here.
