Practice Areas

The Law Office of Brett A. Burlison provides serious legal representation and services in the following areas of practice including but not limited to:

- Catastrophic Injury

Catastrophic injuries can result from accidents involving a wide range of activities, including but not limited to the following: Automobile accidents, Trucking accidents, Falls (premises liability), and Workplace injury. Personal injuries that result from catastrophic accidents are sometimes easy to see: physical trauma, disfigurement, impaired motor skills, and speech difficulties are recognizable at first glance or when first encountered. However, there are other types of injuries just as serious that are often more subtle and are not easy to detect immediately following an accident. For instance, impaired executive functioning or impaired cognitive skills, changes in a person's mood, emotional problems, and difficulty concentrating and memory deficits are examples of injuries that can be life-altering but that can emerge over time. At the Law Office of Brett A. Burlison, we pay attention to not only the obvious but also the subtle when working to make sure that our clients are compensated fairly.

- Automobile Accidents

Automobile accidents accidents can involve product liability issues including crash-worthiness factors and rollover and stability force issues as well. The injuries resulting from automobile accidents can include brain injuries ranging from the traumatic or mild traumatic (MTBI) type. In fact, an MTBI can and often results from minor impacts and even simple whiplash-type collisions. At the Law Office of Brett A. Burlison, we make sure that everything thing is done to ensure that every avenue and potential theory is explored. We are commitment to ethical and passionate representation and this commitment begins the moment a case is accepted and it continues until the case is resolved.

- Trucking Accidents

Trucking accident cases are complicated; they involve a host of complex and different issues at every stage of litigation and are not simply big automobile accidents. I understand how trucking companies operate and defend against cases because I once represented them in catastrophic injury matters. If you or a loved one has been injured in a trucking accident, contact me.

- Premises Liability

There is a general perception that slip and fall cases are more difficult because they are seen, at least in part, as the fault of the injured individual. This is not our belief at the Law Office of Brett A. Burlison. Premises owners and occupiers must maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition. Everything from failing to keep store aisles clear, or failing to light or mark pathways or stairs, to a lack of adequate security can create hazards causing serious injuries or even death. In a Premises Liability claim the elements of that claim must be established quickly and succinctly. This means analyzing the mechanics of how the person fell or slipped, identifying causation, identifying the dangerous condition and the negligence that caused it, establishing the standard of care, working to establish actual or constructive notice, and ultimately showing that the hazard caused the injury. All of this must be done to fully evaluate and resolve any Premises Liability case.

- Workplace Injury

Most employer's carry workers' compensation insurance - it is required by law. So, when someone is injured at work workers' compensation insurance rules preclude that person from filing a claim of negligence against their employer. But often when someone is injured at work it is not the employer's fault; it is due to the negligence of a vendor or sub-contractor. This is called a third party action. And this type of case can be based on a variety of causes of action, including negligence or product liability theories. At the Law Office of Brett A. Burlison, I am committed to providing injured workers with innovative and insightful representation against any third party or other culpable entity.

- Brain Injury

Brain injuries are classified based on the severity of symptoms. Such symptoms can be mild, moderate or severe. These injuries, traumatic brain injury (TBI) or mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), are sometimes referred to as “acquired brain injury” or a “closed head injury” or even simply as a “head injury.” The impact of this type of injury can be devastating and long lasting. TBI can result during many types of actions including: A direct blow to the head; A piercing of the skull; and A whiplash-type injury during an automobile accident or a fall. Victims of traumatic brain injury deserve passionate, innovative representation, and at the Law Office of Brett A. Burlison we are committed to just that.

- Wrongful Death

Under a wrongful death cause of action, the specified heirs are entitled to recover damages on their own behalf for the loss that they have sustained by reason of the victim's death. Some of these damages may include: Medical expenses paid by the claimant on behalf of the decedent; Loss of society, enjoyment, and consortium of the decedent; Loss of potential earnings of the decedent; and Any additional economic loss sustained due to the death of the victim. If you have lost a loved one, you need serious legal representation. At the Law Office of Brett A. Burlison I can provide that representation with confidence, commitment, and empathy.

- Product Liability

Product liability claims are based on negligence and/or strict liability. If an entity manufactures, distributes, sells, supplies, or others wise produces a product for the public, that entity is held responsible for the injuries caused by the product. At the Law Office of Brett A. Burlison, we are very serious about consumers' rights. It does not matter if your injuries were the result of a defective drug, seat belt, recreational vehicle (including jet ski, wave runner, or all-terrain vehicle (ATV)), medical device, industrial and/or workplace machinery, automobile (including sport utility vehicle (SUV)), or any number of other consumer products, call us. We have the experience, commitment, and understanding to help.
