Each day people get behind the wheel of a car, truck, van, or motorcycle to carry out their business. In doing so they are taking a considerable risk. When you are choosing an attorney to represent you as you seek to rebuild after a devastating motor vehicle accident, it is important that you choose an advocate who understands the specific concerns that are pertinent to your crash. The Milwaukee motor vehicle accident lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, are prepared to help clients with the following: Car Accidents; Truck Accidents; Motorcycle Accidents; Pedestrian Injuries; Recreational Vehicle Accidents.

- Asbestos

For generations, asbestos was considered to be a “miracle fiber,” and was used prolifically in a number of industries because of its fire retardant abilities. Unfortunately, it was discovered that the inhalation of asbestos particles can lead to mesothelioma, an incredibly serious and aggressive form of cancer. Fields at particular risk of exposure include: Construction; Shipbuilding; Oil drilling; Automobile manufacturing and repair; Industrial labor; Firefighting. While asbestos use has been legally curtailed in the United States, countless older buildings still contain asbestos.

- Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma takes its name from the mesothelium, the protective lining of the organs which is affected by asbestos inhalation. Only a few months of exposure to asbestos fibers can ultimately lead to mesothelioma, which typically remains latent in the body for at least 15 years, most commonly between 30 and 40. Once mesothelioma appears, the prognosis is generally not good. Some of the most common symptoms of mesothelioma include: Shortness of breath; Chest pain; Fatigue; Wheezing; Coughed-up blood; Abdominal pain. If you believe that asbestos exposure led to your illness, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

- Wrongful Death

Wrongful death is a common law claim against a person, entity, or company who can be held liable for a death. As a civil suit, the standard of proof is typically “preponderance of evidence” as opposed to “clear and convincing” or “beyond a reasonable doubt.” For this reason, it is often easier for a family seeking retribution for the death of a family member through tort rather than criminal prosecution. However, these two actions are not mutually exclusive and a person can be prosecuted criminally and sued civilly. If you have suffered the wrongful death of a family member, please turn to the talented and experienced wrongful death lawyers at Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®

- Explosion Accidents

If you or someone you love has been affected by an explosion or a fire, it is your right to stand up for yourself and demand compensation. You and your family should not be made to suffer unduly because someone else failed to act responsibly. At Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, our nine Milwaukee-based attorneys have virtually unparalleled experience helping injured victims get the financial compensation that they deserve following their accidents. We may be able to help you if you or someone you love has been hurt through: Industrial explosions; Commercial fires; Home fires; Home explosions; Vehicle explosions and fires.

- Construction Accidents

Legally, construction companies are required to provide safety programs and formally inspect work sites with a safety engineer, but, unfortunately, accidents still occur resulting from the inadequacy of these provisions. Construction site injuries can be severe and devastating and can often be career ending. Construction workers are usually well paid and have good benefits, and a loss in this income can often be devastating for the family. Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® is a law firm with a team of Milwaukee construction accident attorneys who have been fighting successfully for the rights of those who injured on construction job sites for many years.

- Slip & Fall

Thousands of slip and fall or trip and fall injuries occur across the country every year. Examples of such accidents are tripping over an uneven sidewalk or slipping on a recently mopped supermarket floor. These accidents can often cause serious injuries that require long periods of recovery and considerable medical expenses. There are, of course, some situations where exceptions to general premises liability laws come into play. These could include situations where trespassers come onto property without the permission of the owners, where accidents occur on governmental property, and where accidents involve children or employees of a building owner.

- Dog Bites

Dogs are not the only animals that attack and injure people in Wisconsin. Wisconsin law requires that the owner or keeper of animals use reasonable and ordinary care to control the animal to prevent the animal from causing injury to others. If an animal owner fails to properly control his or her animal, and that animal causes injury to a person, that person is entitled to compensation for damages that result. At Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, our lawyers will protect you or your loved one if an animal attack causes injury. We will hold the animal owner responsible for all the damages that you are entitled to under the law.

- Sexual Assaults

From a medical and emotional perspective, sexual assault and abuse cases are the most traumatic violations a person can suffer and can be among the most overwhelming for victims. The sexual assault of a child is an especially heinous act. As a victim or a parent, you may wonder about your legal options against the abuser and anyone who allowed the abuse to occur. In many cases, the law provides avenues for recovery against these parties. Causes of action against a third party might include: Premises liability; Parents’ negligent failure to supervise their children; Negligent hiring of employees; Negligent failure to supervise employees.

- Pharmacy Errors

Obviously, receiving the wrong medication can have serious medical effects, even including serious illness, organ failure, or death. In pursuing damages for pharmacy errors, the pharmacy error attorneys at Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® collect and interpret all of the needed medical records and consult with expert pharmacology professionals who can testify about the toxicity of the specific drug or dosage received. The pharmacy malpractice lawyers also confer with experts who can show that the pharmacist made an error from a clearly written prescription.

- Aviation Accidents

Aviation accidents and crashes can happen for a number of reasons. Some of these reasons include bad weather, pilot error, improper aircraft maintenance, air controller negligence, or even bad parts or fuel. In spite of how the accident happened, the results are almost always fatal for everyone on board. The attorneys at Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® are able to assist in the legal aspects of commercial airline disasters, small plane crashes, and helicopter accidents. If you have lost a relative or a loved one as a result of an aviation accident, our talented and experienced aviation attorneys can help you navigate the legal maze.

- Swimming and Diving Injuries

If you or a loved one has been injured in a swimming or diving accident, the pool owner and/or manager may be legally responsible for the damages that occur on the site. They may be legally required to compensate you for the medical expenses related to the injury, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other accident-related expenses. However, liability in swimming and diving accidents can be very complex and should be assessed by a knowledgeable swimming and diving injury lawyer.

- Legal and Professional Malpractice

All professions – law, medicine, accounting, pharmacy, etc – aspire to the highest standard of ethics to ensure that their clients and their interests are protected. Regrettably, not all professionals live up to these professional standards and their clients suffer damages as a result of these professional misconducts. Legal and professional malpractice can occur in a number of ways, some of which include: Medical malpractice; Legal malpractice; Improper conduct; Engineering failure. If you or your interests have been injured as the result of legal or professional malpractice, we can help.

- Medical Malpractice

When you seek medical care, you need to be able to trust that the care provided will be effective. Trusting our doctors and medical staff members is an absolute necessity to help us recover from any medical condition, but unfortunately, that trust many times turns out to be misplaced. If this has happened to you or someone you love, you can turn to the Milwaukee medical malpractice lawyers at Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® for the help you need. Below are a few examples of the types of medical malpractice claims our firm has handled during our years of service to the people of Wisconsin: Birth injuries; Wrongful death; Missed/wrong diagnosis; Improper treatment; Delay in treatment; Lack of informed consent; Emergency room errors; Dental malpractice; Nursing home malpractice.

- Birth Injuries

The birth of a child is one of the miraculous wonders many have the privilege to witness in their lifetimes. When a mother or child suffers a birth injury, families are often left bewildered, wondering how and why such a tragedy occurred. Many birth injury situations involve unforeseeable complications that must be treated as best as possible when they occur. In other situations, a birth injury is preventable and may be the result of medical error, negligence, or malpractice. Birth injuries and birth traumas are often considered the same thing.

- Nursing Home Malpractice

People want to provide the best possible care for their parents as they age, especially when it comes to the medical attention and supervision they may require if they have health problems. Although most people spend significant amounts of time researching and visiting facilities to find the best care, negligence on the part of nursing home employees may result in serious injuries and illness. If a person suffers injury due to negligent or careless actions on the part of nursing home staff members, he or she may be eligible for compensation for medical bills, mental and emotional trauma, and other damages associated with the injury.

- Product Liability

We buy and use consumer-based products of all types, and when we do so, we have a right to expect that they’ll work in a way that won’t cause injuries or sudden death. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happens all too often, and when it does, you need to fight for your rights. Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® is a law firm with a team of Milwaukee defective products lawyers with offices throughout Wisconsin who have been successfully fighting for the rights of those injured for many years.

- Automobile Defect

When you purchase a vehicle, you need to be able to depend on its safety and viability to keep you moving through life. However, when something is wrong with the design or manufacture of the vehicle you purchase, not only will that defect potentially cause serious injuries or even death, but you may not realize that there’s a problem until it’s too late. That’s when you need to turn to the Milwaukee automobile defects lawyers at Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® If you or someone you love has been injured or worse due to a defective vehicle, we can help.
