Our Legal Services

We understand that experiencing an injury can be a deeply stressful and life-altering event. Our team is here to provide compassionate and effective legal representation in a wide range of personal injury cases, including:

• Auto Accidents: If you or a loved one has been injured in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident, our attorneys can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. We diligently investigate accidents, gather evidence, and hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions.

• Offshore Accidents: The unique challenges of the offshore oil and gas industry demand specialized legal expertise. We have a proven track record of representing workers who have been injured offshore, fighting for their rights to workers' compensation benefits, medical care, and fair compensation.

• Nursing Home Injuries & Abuse: The safety and well-being of our elderly loved ones are paramount. We advocate for victims of nursing home negligence, abuse, and wrongful death, holding negligent facilities responsible for providing appropriate care and protecting residents from harm.

• Slip-and-Fall Accidents: Premises liability cases often arise from accidents occurring on another person's property due to unsafe conditions. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate slip-and-fall incidents to determine liability and fight for the compensation our clients deserve.

• Defective Product Accidents: Manufacturers have a duty to produce safe products. When defective products cause injuries, we hold manufacturers accountable and seek justice for those harmed.

• Other Personal Injuries: Our experienced attorneys handle a wide range of personal injury cases, including bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, and injuries resulting from other types of negligence.

Workers' Compensation

Navigating the workers' compensation system can be confusing and frustrating. If you have been injured at work, we can assist you in filing a claim, gathering evidence, and ensuring you receive the benefits you are entitled to, including medical treatment, lost wages, and rehabilitation services.

Social Security Disability

Obtaining Social Security Disability benefits can be a lengthy and challenging process. Our experienced attorneys understand the complexities of the application process and will work tirelessly to gather the necessary documentation and build a strong case on your behalf. We are dedicated to helping individuals with mental or physical disabilities who are unable to work secure the benefits they need to support themselves and their families.
