Defective Products
Defective products law, or products liability law, governs the civil process for compensating people who are injured by dangerous or defective products. A majority of the public is unaware that there is an entire area of law devoted to this area. If a product causes harm to a person, through faulty design/manufacture, misleading advertisements, or poor instructions/warnings concerning the product, the company selling it may be liable for the damages and injuries caused to a person.

Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice lawyers require a unique skill set in the legal profession. It is necessary for them to have the proper background, training, and experience in such cases for you to succeed in the courtroom if a fair and just settlement cannot be obtained beforehand. In addition, they need to be able to interact and communicate with some of the top medical providers in the world. Medical malpractice lawyers need to have as much medical knowledge about the particular area of medicine involved as the doctor who treated you. They need to be able to simplify the medical issues to a jury so jurors understand that the medical care provided to you was substandard and that your injuries and damages could have been avoided.  [Read Full Article]

Slip and Fall Premises Liability
Slip and fall premises liability claims are claims for injuries resulting from property owners’ failure to keep their property safe for the public. Such claims may result from a member of the public slipping and falling on snow and ice, due to preventable tripping or other hazards, and ski injuries caused under conditions where a resort failed to appropriately protect skiers. While members of the public have a duty to be careful, the public property owners have responsibility for appropriate maintenance of their property, warning the public of unsafe circumstances, and protection of persons lawfully on the premises.

Spinal Injury
At Fleishman & Shapiro, we understand that neck and back injuries can be very painful, life-long injuries which dramatically affect your quality of life and your ability to perform certain jobs. We know the importance of understanding your specific diagnosis whether you suffer from a disc herniation, radiculopathy, internal disc disruption, ligamentous laxity, instability, facet joint damage, etc. Insurance companies seek to minimize the permanency and severity of neck and back injuries by calling them “soft tissue” injuries. In insurance company lingo, this means your injury is not serious.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage
The only way to make sure you and your family are fully protected by insurance in case of an accident, in addition to automobile or casualty insurances, is to buy uninsured and underinsured motorist “U” coverage. This coverage is unique because it covers you whether you are an injured pedestrian, riding in someone else’s car, or even seated on a motorcycle or bicycle. It also protects you if the other driver had some insurance but did not have enough to fully compensate you for your injuries and damages. “U” coverage now stacks on top of the at-fault driver’s coverage. “U” coverage is very important to fully protect you and your family.

Wrongful Death
A wrongful death claim is a suit that arises from the death of an individual caused by the negligence or intentional conduct of another. This type of lawsuit is different from other types of personal injury claims because the person bringing the lawsuit is not the actual victim; it is family members or the victim’s estate. The damages recovered do not include damages which are personal to the person who died. This is because the person who died obviously cannot recover for pain and suffering, mental distress, or any other form of compensatory damages issues particular to him or her. The purpose of a wrongful death lawsuit is to provide relief to family members who have been injured emotionally and financially as a result of another family member’s death.  [Read Full Article]
