- Motorcycle Accidents

Statistics indicate that 80 percent of motorcycle accidents result in serious injuries or death, compared with 20 percent of car accidents. Several factors contribute to motorcycle accidents; limited visibility at intersections tops the list because trees and shrubbery, parked vehicles and buildings often obstruct a clear view of a motorcycle.

- Medical Malpractice

Steven H. Mevorah & Associates devotes considerable time and skill to preparing a medical malpractice case. Such cases typically are challenging to prove, requiring the competence of an experienced lawyer along with the technical expertise of medical professionals. Medical records must be analyzed and evidence gathered to support and prove negligence, which includes arranging witness testimony. The medical practitioner’s behavior will be evaluated against the behavior of similar professionals to determine whether he or she reasonably failed to meet medical standards of care. Your attorney must substantiate that the serious injury resulted from the medical error. While many cases are settled out of court, others go to trial in order to obtain fair and just compensation.

- Construction Site Accidents

Injuries from construction-site accidents can result in permanent disability, a lifetime of medical treatment and loss of future income. We provide aggressive representation to help you secure the necessary compensation to cover lost wages, medical bills, rehabilitation and other expenses. Broken bones, amputation, severe burns, brain injury and other serious injuries create extreme hardship for not only injured individuals but also their families. We understand the stress connected with being financially burdened by a prolonged lawsuit and work to obtain timely conclusions, tried or settled in your favor.

We spare no efforts in using expert medical- and construction-industry experts to substantiate the cause and extent of the injury.

A workers compensation claim delay or denial, along with other complexities, often makes legal representation necessary. The settlement amount offered by an insurance company might be so far below what you need to cover expenses that you need legal leverage to negotiate a more favorable compensation. The lawyers at Steven H. Mevorah & Associates stand ready to put their years of experience to work on your behalf. Rely on our skills and integrity to provide you with effective legal advice and help you get the compensation you are entitled to receive.
