- Social Security Disability

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits (DIB) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) The Social Security Administration defines “disability” as a physical or mental impairment, which keeps a person from doing substantial work and the impairment is expected to last more than a year or result in death. In determining if a person is disabled, the Social Security Administration looks at their age, education, work history and the transferability of their work skills (can they work at another job). The definition of disability is applicable to both programs. However, since many factors are evaluated, no two cases are the same. Each case is examined on an individual basis.

- Medical Malpractice

Every year thousands of people are injured as a result of medical malpractice. Nationally, the Harvard Medical Practice Study estimated that, each year, more than 180,000 people die, at least in part, because of medical mistakes.

- Slip & Fall

Slip and fall accidents are everyday occurrences and can happen to anyone. Although slip and falls may appear to be minor, they can result in very serious injuries. Slip and falls can happen anywhere and numerous people may be held responsible for resulting injuries. Determining who is liable for your injuries is part of an area of law known as “premises liability.” Typically the owner or renter of the premises where your slip and fall took place is liable for your accident. It is important for you to be aware of all of your options after a slip and fall. You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.

- Workers Compensation

If you have been injured at work and believe that you are entitled to workers’ compensation, the right attorney can make all the difference in recovering the maximum benefits you deserve under the law. A workers’ compensation attorney will be able to advise clients in the procedures for protecting their workers’ compensation benefits and guard against the early termination of benefits. For example, a workers’ compensation lawyer can assist an injured employee if they are being denied benefits, which they are entitled to receive. A workers’ compensation attorney can also help an employee who is told to return to work before they are able.

- Defective Products

Defective products cause serious injury to thousands of people each year. Defective products may include medical devices, automobiles, tires, electronics, appliances and household goods. Consumers may pursue a claim if a serious injury results from the malfunction of a product.

- Nursing Home Abuse

Nursing home abuse is an act or omission by a caregiver or professional staff member that causes harm to a vulnerable adult. Over 1.5 million Americans are living in nursing homes. That number is expected to increase exponentially as the Baby Boomers begin to age and need residential care. It is believed that 43% of people will need some type of nursing home care during the course of their lifetime. Nursing home abuse is increasingly becoming a concern in society. Most residents living in nursing homes are already vulnerable because they have to rely on others to care for them and fulfill their basic needs. Unfortunately nursing home staff can take advantage of that vulnerability. It is estimated only 20% of nursing home abuse incidents are reported.
