Construction Defect

Our client, an avid bicyclist, suffered serious injuries while riding on a city-maintained bike path when her front wheel became lodged in a dangerous seam in the pavement. The abrupt stop threw her violently to the ground, resulting in a fractured elbow and permanent facial injuries. An in-depth investigation uncovered negligence on the part of the private construction company and engineering firm responsible for designing and building the road.

Premises Liability

Our client, a minor, attended a rooftop birthday celebration when she inadvertently stepped onto an unprotected skylight, plunging three stories to the ground below. The traumatic fall resulted in substantial scarring on her leg and buttocks, coupled with enduring emotional distress and anxiety. Our legal team established that both the property owner and event organizers failed to implement essential safety measures.

Premises Liability

Our client visited a Russian-style spa and bathhouse seeking therapeutic relief-but instead suffered a traumatic and entirely preventable injury. Overcome by extreme heat, she lost consciousness and collapsed onto scalding tile floor, sustaining severe burns. Staff response was alarmingly delayed, compounding the extent of her injuries. An in-depth investigation revealed multiple safety failures, including inappropriate flooring materials and lack of proper emergency training for staff.

Auto Accident

Our client was stopped at a red light when another driver crashed into her vehicle from behind, resulting in a serious back injury. Despite having a prior medical history of back issues, the impact aggravated her condition significantly, ultimately requiring a partial spinal fusion. The defense attempted to downplay her injuries, but compelling evidence showed the crash substantially worsened her condition.

Airline Liability

Our client suffered a head injury while she was a passenger on an international flight. She was leaning down to place a personal item under the seat in front of her when a flight attendant hit her in the temple with a beverage cart. We were able to prove that the flight attendant was not following proper procedures as he moved through the cabin.

Product Liability

Our client endured a life-altering injury after consuming an over-the-counter dietary supplement that was deceptively packaged. This resulted in a severe intestinal blockage, multiple invasive surgeries, and an extended period of pain, hospitalization, and recovery. Our legal team demonstrated the retailer’s liability in selling a product that was both unsafe and improperly labeled.
