Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Brain Injury

Doctors often say that brain injuries are among the most difficult to detect following an accident. In many cases, the victim does not realize that even a minor concussion may result in long-term damage to cognitive abilities, physical capacity and memory. Often, determining the true extent of a brain injury requires having a personal relationship with the victim to understand the nature and severity of the injury.

- Spinal Cord Injury

There is no such thing as a minor injury to your spine. Victims of spine injuries often face years of medical treatment and diminished mobility. An entire family can be affected by one person's loss of mobility, nerve damage and other health problems.

- Birth Injury

During pregnancy, you expect a lot from your doctor. You need to be able to count on the medical advice, procedures and pre-natal care you receive, from conception through the birth of your baby. While giving birth and immediately afterward, the baby's life, as well as the mother's, is completely in the hands of medical professionals. There is no room for misjudgment, incompetence or negligence.

- Surgery Malpractice

The medical profession holds surgeons to a high standard because there can be no room for negligence or recklessness in the operating room. A slip of a scalpel can mean a lifetime of pain, disfigurement or even death. Surgeons are among the most respected professionals in our society. Surgeons undergo many years of education and specialized training to ensure their skills are updated.

- Business Litigation

Humphrey, Farrington & McClain is more than a nationally recognized personal injury and consumer protection litigation firm. Since 1984, one of our primary areas of successful practice has centered on helping corporations and business owners protect their rights in litigation involving breach of contracts and torts with customers and suppliers.

- Consumer Protection

Many types of cases can be handled through a legal procedure know as a class action. A class action is best suited for a matter in which numerous individuals suffered harm by the acts of another person or entity. In these cases, the class action allows the claims of hundreds, if not thousands or millions, of people to be brought in one case rather than numerous cases. Here, one or more individuals represent, or stand in the shoes of, a whole class of individuals.

- Construction Accident

Construction workers face hazardous working conditions from the moment they step onto their job site. Builders and construction engineers also put their safety in the hands of manufacturers, property owners and subcontractors on site. If you have been injured in a construction accident, you are one of over a million workers to suffer injury and lost earnings in a typical year.

- Premises Liability

When you enter a property, whether for business, pleasure or just to visit, you have a legal right to expect the property owner to do everything reasonably possible to protect your safety. Property owners and managers share liability for injuries or wrongful death suffered on property under their control. From building construction and premises design through removing unsafe conditions in a timely manner, the property owner can be held liable for money damages in premises liability lawsuits.

- Product Liability

Federal agencies such as the U.S. Consumer Protection Agency (USCPA) work to ensure that products in our marketplace are designed safely and are not dangerous when used correctly at home, on the road or on the job. After a product passes the U.S. safety test and is approved for the market, however, it does not relieve the manufacturer from liability in the event of an injury, illness or death to a consumer.

- Environmental

In addition to representing people injured by asbestos, the lawyers at Humphrey, Farrington & McClain have also represented individuals who were personally injured or had their property contaminated by other toxins such as formaldehyde, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), acids, benzene and other chemicals, dusts and metals.
