Practice Areas Description

The Isaac Law Firm provides legal representation and services in the following areas of practice:

- Accident Law

Accident law provides protection for victims of accidents that are the result of negligence. An accident is an unanticipated, abnormal and unintended incident that can take place in a specific time frame and location, with no deliberate cause. Some accidents could possibly be prevented or avoided with precaution, whereas other accidents tend to be unforeseeable. Accidents can result in injuries, wrongful death or high expense bills, which could have a huge influence on one's life.

*Auto Accidents
When it comes to car accidents, an auto accident lawyer can help prove liability by showing evidence and speaking to witnesses. They can help with guaranteeing proper medical care for your injuries. Our auto accident lawyers understand the law and can help you document your injuries to get the settlement you deserve.

*Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents, like any other accidents, have their complicated legal procedures. Because of the seriousness of the injury, it is a good idea to retain the services of a qualified motorcycle accident lawyer. It is not only a good investment, it can save you a lot of time and aggravation with the insurance company. If you are found at fault of the accident, you may face a fine, community service, or in the worst case, imprisonment (especially if alcohol is involved).

*Truck Accidents
Because of the complications of accidents involving a truck, it is advisable to hire a truck accident lawyer. Liability on the truck's side can be due to the driver for reckless driving, the contractor who hired the trucking company, the trucking company that employed the driver, the shipping company whose cargo is on the truck, and the truck manufactures if the accident is due to malfunctioning parts. The types of liability may include personal injury, product liability (if the injury was caused by defective products), contributory negligence liability (making all parties responsible for their own injuries), and comparative negligence liability (parties share some portions of the liability). It is unlikely that the average person can understand all this so a truck accident lawyer is definitely the best course of action.

*Bicycle Accidents
A bicycle accident may involve product, personal injury and renting liabilities. Faulty or malfunctioning products, e.g. an improperly designed or manufactured break, may create a liability issue with the manufacturer. Personal injury liability is the result of negligence and depending on which state your live and your fault level, you may or may not get compensation. The law defines the following forms of negligence: contributory negligence, pure comparative negligence, modified comparative negligence - 51% rule, and modified comparative negligence - 50% rule. In case of a rental bike, you may be able hold the rental party liable if the bike has not been kept up properly. The best advice, however, is to contact our injury lawyer for a free consultation in case you had a bicycle accident.

*DWI - DUI
Legal consequences of DUI-DWI can range from "go home and sleep it off" to serving time in jail for involuntary manslaughter. Your driving privileges will be revoked (temporarily or permanently with multiple DUI offenses), and will pay hefty fines, not counting court and legal fees that can be as high as your annual salary. Other consequences: compulsory attendance of a DUI school and a victim impact panel (sobering meeting); installation of an ignition interlock that prevents the car from starting if your breath alcohol level is too high; community service; and if convicted you may not get life insurance, a rental car or will not be allowed to many countries that have tough laws on DUI. A DUI arrest is a serious issue that receives less and less empathy from society. It is paramount that you consult with a DUI lawyer as soon as possible.

*Hit and Run Accidents
Hit and run carries both civil as well as criminal liabilities. The civil liability is based on negligence, who caused the injuries and the damages. To prove civil liability, one has to prove that the negligence caused the damages, so if you leave the scene and were not at fault, there may be no civil liability. In the criminal case if only property is damaged, the penalty could range from a fine to serving up to six months in jail. However, if there is injury involved, hit and run is a felony in every State and the penalty is more serious ranging from high fines, suspension of driver license, and jail time that can be as long as 30 years for a first degree felony. If you are involved in a hit and run accident, call an injury lawyer and/or a criminal lawyer immediately.

*Pedestrian Accidents
A pedestrian accident can result in various legal consequences: a personal injury lawsuit, a car accident lawsuit, or in the worst case, wrongful death lawsuit. If you are involved in a pedestrian accident, either as a driver or a pedestrian, it is highly recommended to hire a pedestrian accident lawyer due to the complexity of the case and the seriousness of the consequences (involuntary man slaughter).

*School Bus Accidents
School bus accidents are the results of negligence: the bus driver who should be properly trained in safety; the bus company that employed the driver and hence is liable (in most cases this would be the school board or districts); the bus manufactures in case it was a mechanical failure; and the other driver of another vehicle that caused the accident or the injury. A school bus accident is a complicated case, better left for a school bus accident lawyer to handle. Please contact us for a free initial consultation.

*Slip and Fall
To prove liability in a slip and fall case one has to show that the condition, e.g. spill, was caused by the owner or an employee; the owner/employee must have known about the condition but done nothing; the owner/employee should have known about the condition but neglected to follow safety procedures; and the owner/employee had a reasonable time to fix it. Premises liability is a complicated issue so it is highly recommended to consult with a slip and fall lawyer.

*Seat Belt Accidents
The consequences of not wearing the seat belt can be that you may not collect any compensation because you neglected to exercise ordinary care, that is, you are caught in the middle of contributory negligence argument, which may bar you from receiving compensation in some States. Another argument is failure to mitigate your damages by not wearing a seatbelt (to make sure you control the damages if you have the ability to do so). You may seek compensation is a seat belt case for product as well as personal injury liability. It is advisable to consult with a personal injury lawyer to see what your options are (especially if you did not wear your seat belt).

- Personal Injury

Personal injury law, or tort law, addresses every aspect of personal injuries which is the result of the negligence or wrongdoing of some other party. Under personal injury law, the injured party is entitled to file a personal injury legal action in an effort to seek compensation for the sustained injuries. One can find a wide array of lawsuits within personal injury laws.

*Amputation Injury
An amputation injury may trigger several legal actions: a personal injury lawsuit as a result of negligence, product liability if the amputation was caused by faulty or unsafe products, premises liability in case the injury occurred on premises, such as construction sites, with lack of safety standards, and/or malpractice if the amputation was caused by negligence of professionals such as surgeons. An amputation is a life altering event so it is strongly recommended to consult with an injury lawyer to handle the case professionally.

*Brain Injury
A brain injury lawsuit may contain several components due to the severity of the injury. In addition to the usual medical expenses, property damage and compensation for pain and suffering, there may be long-term treatment and rehabilitation expenses along with lost income and seriously diminished earning capacity. The best course of action is to let a competent brain injury lawyer handle the case and guide you through the difficult time.

*Broken Bones
Broken bones may be the result of malpractice, premises liability, or personal injury as a result of an accident. If the broken bone is the result of malpractice (medical or professional), a malpractice liability lawsuit is appropriate. If the injury, such as a slip and fall resulting in a broken bone, happened on someone else's premises and was due to negligence, a premises liability case is in order. Other cases such as motor vehicle accidents call for a personal injury case. Whatever the origin of the broken bone is, an injury lawyer is the professional that can provide the most help and get the most compensation. Check with your lawyer on time limitation; you may not have more than 6-12 months to file a claim after the injury.

*Burns and Scars
Burns and scars that are the products of negligence call for legal representation by your personal injury lawyer. You may be eligible for compensation for the usual medical expenses, loss of income, disability, plus you may get additional compensation for disfigurement and emotional distress. Your injuries may come from motor vehicle accidents (for example, windshield lacerations), road burns, house fire, work related accidents, exploding appliances (product liability), or a dog bite form the neighbor's dog. Please contact our personal injury law firm for a free consultation.

*Catastrophic Injury
A catastrophic injury may manifest itself as a spinal cord injury, a brain injury, an amputation, total loss of vision, severe burns, or the combination of many injuries that results in a significant impairment of the whole body function. A catastrophic injury is a devastating event not only for the injured but for the entire family. If you suffered an injury of no fault of yours, you need to seek compensation as the rehabilitation and the change of life style may cost millions. Please contact our personal injury law firm for a free consultation. You may be eligible for a personal injury claim, or a workman compensation claim, or a product liability claim, or a combination of several claims.

*Dog Bites
Our dog bite lawyer represents victims of dog attacks that result in a dog biting a person. Compensation may also be sought for knock downs or tripping if it produces harm to the person. A dog bite can be a particularly painful experience that may also come with infection if the dog's teeth were contaminated with harmful micro organisms. In the eyes of the law, dog ownership is similar to owning a truck or a business: the way you are liable for damages in traffic or on the premises of your business, you are liable for the actions of your dog.

*Child Injury
If your child suffered an injury, you may be eligible for compensation for a personal injury claim. The basis of this claim can be negligence by either a person or a company/organization, product liability or malpractice. Since there is a strong emotional bond between parents and children, a parent may file a negligent infliction of emotional distress claim (NIED). If this is available in your state, you need to prove that you are closely related to the victim, you were present at the time the injury occurred, i.e. you witnessed the injury, and you suffered severe emotional distress. A child injury is a traumatic event that should be handled by a competent child injury lawyer. Please contact our personal injury law firm for a free consultation.

*Nursing Home Abuse
When someone in your family suffered a nursing home abuse, you may be eligible to file a personal injury claim. The claim may be based on negligent personal supervision and care, negligent hiring and retention, negligent selection and maintenance of equipment, medical malpractice, or in the worst case, wrongful death. Please contact our personal injury law firm for a free consultation. Our nursing home lawyer will be happy to provide a free case evaluation.

*Wrongful Death
Our wrongful death lawyer seeks compensation for the relatives or heirs of a dead person who was the victim of wrongful acts or negligence. A wrongful death claim is a civil action in which damages are sought against a party for causing death. The claim can be brought when criminal action has failed or is not attempted. A death that is not due to natural causes is likely a wrongful death and it may be the result of willful or negligent act of another person.

*Product Liability
When using a product, you can assume that the labeling is correct, the instructions and the warnings are complete, and the intended use of the product will not result in an accident or injury. If you use the product as intended and follow the instructions and yet suffer an injury, you may have a product liability case and you may file a claim for all types of product defects. Contact your product liability lawyer for legal advice and a competent representation.
