Legal Help With Multiple Types of Personal Injuries

Accident and injuries can happen in many different circumstances, and victims can take steps to ensure that they will be properly compensated for their losses. Attorney Allen N. Schwartz and the team at Schwartz Injury Law skillfully represent victims who have been injured because of the negligence of others. We can help determine who was responsible for causing an accident or injury, and we can gather evidence showing that negligence was to blame for the harm suffered by a victim. We fight to obtain the maximum compensation available to victims, making sure damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering will be fully addressed.

We provide effective legal representation for people who have been injured due to:

• Motor Vehicle Accidents: Whether a collision involves a minor bump or a high-speed impact, people who are injured can take steps to address their injuries and receive compensation for their losses. Our attorneys can assist with car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, as well as other types of collisions caused by the negligence of drivers or other parties. We work to ensure that negligent drivers or other parties are held liable for causing accidents and harming victims.
• Construction Accidents: When accidents take place on construction sites, they are likely to be serious due to the heavy machinery, large materials, and dangerous substances present in these locations. People who are injured because of negligence by construction companies or other parties will need to understand their legal options. Our lawyers can provide the legal representation needed to hold the liable parties responsible for their failure to protect the safety of others.
• Medical Malpractice: Mistakes may be made by doctors, nurses, or other medial professionals, and these issues can lead to permanent injuries for patients. In some cases, negligence by medical providers can have fatal consequences. Examples of medical negligence may include surgical errors, birth injuries, or a misdiagnosis of a serious condition. Our team has extensive experience in medical malpractice cases, and we know how to demonstrate that patients have been harmed by the negligence of medical professionals, ensuring that they can obtain the compensation they need to address the harm they have suffered.
• Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect: Many families trust nursing homes and assisted living facilities to provide care for their loved ones. Unfortunately, nursing home residents may suffer harm due to intentional abuse, negligent medical care, inadequate supervision, or other forms of negligence. We understand the ways families may be affected by these issues, and we work to hold negligent facilities responsible for their failure to protect the safety of vulnerable residents.
• Defective Products: The products that people purchase and use should be safe, and people should be protected from harm when they use products as expected. Unfortunately, dangerous products may be placed on the market, and people may be at risk of injury when these products break down, fail to function correctly, or are inherently dangerous. Victims of defective products may experience catastrophic injuries. Our lawyers can provide the representation needed to ensure that product manufacturers or other parties will be held liable for the harm caused by dangerous products.
• Premises Liability: Property owners may be responsible for injuries that occur when people are visiting their premises. A property owner may be considered negligent if they failed to perform repairs, correct hazards, or warn people about safety issues. Our team can work with victims of slip and fall accidents, dog bites, or other accidents that take place while visiting other people's property. We can help demonstrate that a property owner was negligent and ensure that they will be held responsible for a victim's injuries.
• Wrongful Death: When negligence is responsible for fatal injuries, a family may struggle to pick up the pieces. Our lawyers can provide the representation needed to secure compensation for the losses a family has experienced because of a loved one's death. We can help families address the financial effects of a death and the emotional trauma they have experienced.
